I remember when the iPad came out I was incredibly excited. This was surely perfect for RTS games!
There was Command & Conquer: Red Alert Mobile, then....
The only other one I remember was an actually really good StarCraft clone by Gameloft (I forget the name).
I always thought mobile would be great for RTS and then it just wasn't. Though when I think about it, the keyboard is pretty important and that kind of fast control is really difficult on a touchscreen, so maybe that explains the lack of 'classic' RTS games on touch devices.
You wrote exactly my thoughts! I was so excited for a new generation of touch-optimized RTS games when the iPad was released and I’ve been disappointed with the options.
Do you (or anyone) know of any iPad games that fit the bill these days? I played Vainglory for a while but that’s not a RTS - it’s a MOBA (and was fun and worked super well on touch).
