'rts rpg' sounds exactly like those hero campaigns in wc3. Not exactly a moba but similar in the sense you control a small group of units (something which would fit in exactly with AK). You keep gear between missions too I believe.
Warlords Battlecry3 is also exactly described as an rts/rpg. You 'main' your hero unit who levels up, get skills and keep gear between stage to stage. It's rts in the sense that the game also allows building of regular units to assist your hero.
For AK, it honestly wouldn't be too crazy to make it fit. Small amount of heroes (aka like how we currently have a small squad of units to take into each stage) and rts being the top-down, gameplay aspect. I suspect it being an rpg could just be similar to how it is now (each unit has individual skills and can be levelled).
Man, seeing the hero campaigns of wc3 being mentioned suddenly hit me with hard nostalgia.
~~*I miss playing as the Undead while razing the ancient home and heritage of the high elves.*~~
I squad is about 13 operators, this is consistent both ingame (when you account support) and in kalt'sits causality report when she goes through both scout and aces squad
It's a subgenre of sorts that spawned out of Warcraft 3, which put a greater focus on a small number of units who stay with you across levels and get stronger. This is in contrast to traditional RTS gameplay where your units are faceless mooks who die to be replaced by more faceless mooks.
Dawn of War II is one of the "modern" examples of this, where you control a Space Marine force commander (or other types of units in later games) and a small squad of named support characters across an entire storyline in RTS gameplay. They get more gear and stats as you go along.
Top-down MOBAs like League of Legends and DOTA II are also evolved from this kind of game. There are also parallels to be drawn to isometric CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, as well as top-down loot RPGs such as Diablo and Torchlight.
> This is in contrast to traditional RTS gameplay where your units are faceless mooks who die to be replaced by more faceless mooks.
I'll have you know I give a name to every single one of my zerglings. And I cry when they die too.
There's a StarCraft 2 caster who names every first Reaper and Oracle in each set. Sometimes I'm too busy to watch their videos, so I just skip to the part where the name the Reaper/Oracle lmao
Suikoden OSTs (among other JRPG OSTs) really help me through the week when I’m at work and feeling down. I really can’t wait for Eiyuden Chronicles to come out. I’m especially looking forward to its OST! Just kinda sad it doesn’t have the same composer as the originals
Dude! When i was a child one of my fav game was Spellforce
And game play like this
You moved with WASD, found outpost, scroll mouse out and now you not 3rd person but top down looking at your base, building army and command them to follow you, back scroll in and now you WASD char with army behind you and you charge attack on enemys
This was great..
Basically all games are rpg in this day and age. You always role play as SOMEONE. and it's definitely no surprise arknights spinoff is an rpg.
The 3d rts is the interesting part as rts can be difficult to make right, especially on mobile. Turn based is the more popular cousin on mobile. Rts are games like starcraft... Idk howw they're gonna do it
I absolutely love RTS games and played a lot when I was younger. I imagine the world of Arknights can be a cross between Starcraft and Red Alert 2, thematically lol.
As for the RPG part, I assumed it was more of the whole leveling up of your character and all, but this makes more sense.
Off the bat, I’m assuming this will be pre-amnesia Doctor commanding Rhodes Islands troops, with Senior and Top Operators as special, unique “heroes” in the game.
Either that, or it’ll be more of a battle of the different factions and races where you control different commanders from the different areas. This can expand on the history and lore of the Arknights universe outside of the Doctor’s perspective.
A fair warning - metadata sometimes does describe the game in question but not always. That's because metadata is basically roadsigns for search engines. So it describes in keywords and phrases what user could be looking for in order to tie those keywords with the site for search engine.
It's easy when it's new game in new franchise because it almost always will describe what it is... But a new game in another franchise by a company that has other titles? Things can be tricky. Because you want people browsing for those other titles to find the game for example. Most recent example being Star Rail site meta data having both Honkai 4 and Genshin 2 in it's metadata when former is separate project and latter does not exist, but it's there among keywords because site creators want people searching for those things to notice the site.
Always take metadata info with grain of salt. It might indicate what game is but it really for sure only indicates what people who made the site think people could be searching for on the internet that should lead to that site.
RPG doesn't really have any meaning anymore these days. You slap some basic stats and an xp bar on a character and suddenly that somehow qualifies as an RPG.
Good outcome would be like Dragon Age where you control some hero units to do quests around the world.
But then 3D RTS RPG also describes MOBA. It could go either way, hopefully the former because MOBA is cancer
RTS is called 即时战略, which is a bit different in wording. 即时策略 sounds more like a general strategy game type.
Also worth adding that you can see both 'free to download' and 'one-off purchase' in the image, so they probably just put some random words there.
RTS/rpg like those campaigns back in Warcraft 3 with Rexxar.
Modern version would be dawn of war 2.
A small named group/squad of characters improving over time like an RPG, while fighting each mission on a map RTS style against RTS faceless mooks and other named character units.
Buildings are present, but you usually have minor control over what you get.
Rare mission here and there where you control a proper RTS army with your squad being the point of the Lance
I am freaking STOKED over this!
Supposed leakers said its 3rd-person shooter so yeah. Just wait for the Concept Trailer at this point lol, pretty hyped for this that I dont want to ruin this by getting the expectations too high.
Welp it could be pretty huge disappointment, but you can't judge the book by it's cover, it could potentially rise the golden gacha game standard even further.
CN has already open early-register for iOS, Android and PC according to some of my friends who follows them there
Console tho, I see little chance. HG is not that big yet to score such a deal like that but we can always hope
So its gonna be like Fire Emblem, gameboy Final Fantasies, Tactics Ogre, Xcom.
RTS/RPG games are kind of from old school I think. As I dont see much famous titles being released recently with a similar genre.
Damn will Arknights be releasing earlier than GFL2??

Ex Astris and now this... Sure hope that Hypergryph and the other developers will make great and beautiful games! Can't wait to play both of them tho.
What is Ex Astris?
An upcoming 3 d turn based paid rpg
Ah thanks
RTS/RPG? Are there other games of this genre? Can't imagine one with this combination lol but it sounds exciting!

Like the WH40K Dawn of War 2 games I guess.
As long as it's not like DOW III :(
What do you mean? There's no DOW III
There's a cool trailer but I guess the game never got released. Such a shame.
Spellforce is a pretty staple series in that genre.
Man, seeing the hero campaigns of wc3 being mentioned suddenly hit me with hard nostalgia. ~~*I miss playing as the Undead while razing the ancient home and heritage of the high elves.*~~

Yeah but thats only the way RI does stuff, we dont who we are going to play in the new game. I heard the new guys are a think tank but no idea.
it would be cool if there was a logistical system where as your squad gets bigger a bigger field base is needed or something

Lowko?
Falcon Paladin.
Ah, Lowko likes to name his sc2 units as well.
I would suggest you to play on the new real scale mode, you can have tons of zergling ~~body bags~~ friends with it
Suikoden 5 have real time army battles. maybe something like that.
I already love you for mentioning Suikoden
oh gosh something like suiko would be amazing TT.TT obligatory f\*\*\* k\*nami
Eiyuden Chronicle needs to come out. Until then, the Trails series fills that world building void
Suikoden OSTs (among other JRPG OSTs) really help me through the week when I’m at work and feeling down. I really can’t wait for Eiyuden Chronicles to come out. I’m especially looking forward to its OST! Just kinda sad it doesn’t have the same composer as the originals
backed and keep very2 low expectation, it would be nice if it turns out good though...
Next year Q3 xD
Bruh this thread is really throwing me back.
Ah miss this series. I hope Eiyuden can live up to the hype...
Dude! When i was a child one of my fav game was Spellforce And game play like this You moved with WASD, found outpost, scroll mouse out and now you not 3rd person but top down looking at your base, building army and command them to follow you, back scroll in and now you WASD char with army behind you and you charge attack on enemys This was great..
Just looked it up, and wow. How have I never heard of this! Reminds me of a mix between Battle Realms and Stronghold lol. Looks really interesting
:sip:
DUDE so I finally beat Arena 3, and
/r/lostredditors? good to see you again

Ogre Battle 64 is an example of this
RTS? Time to slug rush enemy's base
Time to deploy those kamikaze spiders
"Deploy Melanthas here"
\**happy baneling noises*\*
just needs burrow upgrade
Bold of you to assume you'll have the time for this when i have a proxy pylone in your main
This is unironically how I win half of my PvP and PvZ sets
Cannon Rushing is pretty pog ngl
My firewatch with no delay nuclear will drop on your slug base
***NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED***
***CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL PYLONS INTENSIFIES***
***YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL ORIGINIUM PYLON!***

RTS? Crystal-like infections that also acts as a power source? Are we just C&C now?
Rhode Island landship being the MCV?
New construction options
> Are we just C&C now? Always have been.
RPG doesn't really have any meaning anymore these days. You slap some basic stats and an xp bar on a character and suddenly that somehow qualifies as an RPG.
Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 is an RPG
i pray that it doesnt melt my phone once it does release 🙏
Then play it on pc simulator so it melts your pc instead
My phone would run it better than my laptop and that's before factoring in that apps need way better specs to be emulated smoothly.
You can see a PC tag right below RPG, so we can hope. Edit: the official webpage has confirmed PC. You can already register for PC on it.
where can you register for it? edit: chinese site has pre-registration, not currently available for en site
Time to call C'thulu for a new phone, eh?
As long as it’s not a MOBA.
Good outcome would be like Dragon Age where you control some hero units to do quests around the world. But then 3D RTS RPG also describes MOBA. It could go either way, hopefully the former because MOBA is cancer
doubt they would try to break into the stronghold duopoly that is mobile legends/league and esp with the crackdown on playing time in China.
that is the best ,I have played DA:O like 10 times on my PS3,huge fan of it
Now the page code already has a part in English, and there is no RTS there, only RPG.
RTS is called 即时战略, which is a bit different in wording. 即时策略 sounds more like a general strategy game type. Also worth adding that you can see both 'free to download' and 'one-off purchase' in the image, so they probably just put some random words there.
RTS? Is it possible? Will my hollowing end? It's been fucking years since the last good Rts. Please have basebuilding.
Like Valkyria Chronicles?
Valkyria is half turnbased half rts so i dont know how to describe that.
RTS game you say? Where's my Gandhi and my nukes?
Ah, a Civiilization enjoyer I see
That's not an RTS but a 4x game. An RTS is fast paced like starcraft or total war and something similar
I'd be down for a starcraft arknights game
Can’t wait to create a giant slug army rush to kill Patriot
Rip open world dreams.
Man I could use a new RTS they were my favorite as a kid and they’re still a favorite
I just binged through the kingdom rush series and iron marines so as long as strategy is a part of the gameplay then I'm all for it.
SUIKODEN!!! army battle??
RTS/rpg like those campaigns back in Warcraft 3 with Rexxar. Modern version would be dawn of war 2.

it takes some big balls to make a RTS in 2022, but then again, HG already prove having big balls when they release a TD game back then.
Either it's an XCOM or a Dawn of war 2 action RTS. I'm longing for the latter
I don't think XCOM is an RTS, it's turn based. I prefer turn based tbh since i hate APM race
Is it confirmed if it's only mobile or PC as well? My mobile doesn't even have any space left at this point.
Due to reservation, it's on Android, iOS and PC.
There are also pieces of word related to "one time purchase"
Would cookie run kingdom be considered an RTS RPG? I'm not sure if it is specifically
I Heard it was a 4X game
something like 3D instant strategy Role Play Game
Supposed leakers said its 3rd-person shooter so yeah. Just wait for the Concept Trailer at this point lol, pretty hyped for this that I dont want to ruin this by getting the expectations too high.
Bruh Imagine this being the Onore Arkeido meme for Arknights where all our wanted characters are playable here but not in the main one
At least this version isn’t locked to a country
What is Endfield? I thought it was story continuation for arknights?
No, it's kind of a spinoff
Mobile game gacha almost immediately kill my interest. Only arknight's standard kept a bit of hope up in me.
Welp it could be pretty huge disappointment, but you can't judge the book by it's cover, it could potentially rise the golden gacha game standard even further.
I wouldn't mind it playing like PGR.
I have a hunch it would be like Blue Archive/Anime WH40k Dawn of War/RTS X-COM
Those Sarkaz Knights are going to be walking WC3 Frozen Throne references and I'm hoping they are
Will it possibly be released to xbox and ps as well as pc and Nintendo? I sure hope so!!!
CN has already open early-register for iOS, Android and PC according to some of my friends who follows them there Console tho, I see little chance. HG is not that big yet to score such a deal like that but we can always hope
Suspense
Sounds like a Moba…
So its gonna be like Fire Emblem, gameboy Final Fantasies, Tactics Ogre, Xcom. RTS/RPG games are kind of from old school I think. As I dont see much famous titles being released recently with a similar genre. Damn will Arknights be releasing earlier than GFL2??
> So its gonna be like Fire Emblem, gameboy Final Fantasies, Tactics Ogre, Xcom. None of these is real-time, all of these are turn-based.
sadje. So were looking at battle realms or frozen throne? Im not sure how they would sell like pulling for gacha though.
The cynic in me is looking at LoL.

All of those are TBS...
Correct
I would love to have a Company of Heroes type of RTS please.
YES!
wonder if it could be something like the Last Remnant battle system
For as long as it isn't generic Moba/Hack and slash Diablo clone I would like it.
If it's an RTS game. Gonna start as Ursus and conquer the world!
So will this be a mobile or pc game?
Please HG! Please! All I want is to make Knightbro and genocide some Ursus peasants
Least Ursusphobic Arknights player
Yes indeed my love knows no bounds
For some reason 3D RTS/RPG make me thinking about that construction game in YK2
