About Tempest Rising

✦ AI summary

Build bases and command armies across a modern-day alternative history battlefield in this classic RTS revival, choosing between three unique factions with distinct strategies and playstyles. Master fast-paced base building and skill-rewarding combat across solo campaigns, custom skirmishes, and ranked multiplayer while uncovering the mystery of the Tempest vines threatening Earth.

Classic RTS action meets modern production and performance in Tempest Rising. Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, Tempest Rising is a classic, base-building real time strategy game set in a modern day alternative history war scenario. It features 3 unique factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy and offering a variety of strategies for players of all stripes, deep and rewarding gameplay that keeps a focus on strategy while rewarding skill, and built-in customization options that allow players to approach the game their way in both single player and multiplayer game modes.Take on the role of Commander in the highly mobile and advanced peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting and desperate Tempest Dynasty in 2 11-mission campaigns that allow the player to customize their army for each mission, as both armies seek to understand and control the mysterious but beneficial Tempest vines that grow unchecked across the war-torn planet Earth. Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed...

Features

  • Relive classic RTS base building with fast, fluid, and hard-hitting combat
  • Command 2 unique rosters of units as either the GDF (Global Defense Force) or the Tempest Dynasty (with the third playable faction, the Veti, coming in the future.)
  • Experience 2 epic single player campaigns with voiced mission briefings
  • Wage war alone or with friends in 3 game modes: versus AI opponents in Custom Game lobbies, in 1v1 and 2v2 Multiplayer Matchmaking, or solo in skirmish mode with up to 500 units per team and two unique superweapons to compliment each faction’s playstyle.
  • Dominate the competition and climb the leaderboards in Ranked matchmaking, utilizing the Glicko-2 rating system

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Tempest Rising is a classic RTS that successfully captures the golden age feel of games like Command and Conquer and StarCraft, with fun gameplay and solid mechanics that satisfy longtime RTS fans. Players praise its engaging combat and nostalgic appeal, though some find the AI difficulty spikes frustrating, particularly on normal difficulty where the computer can seem unfairly aggressive. Most reviewers feel it's worth buying for RTS enthusiasts looking for that classic experience.

Corporate greed. RIP this game. "Free in multiplayer" isn't the point. We were told there would be 3 factions. I paid for a game expecting 3 factions, not 2 factions with the third one turned into paid DLC. I don't care if the Veti are free in multiplayer. That's not what was promised. I want what was originally said: 3 factions included in the game I paid for. Turning the third faction's campaign into a $20 DLC feels like I'm being asked to pay again for something I already expected to be part of the complete game. What a disappointment.

Hide that version number. It is somehow really annoying.
Recommended Sep 29, 2026
Its a reasonably fun RTS game. Though i do wish it was bigger, it feels quite a bit like command and conquer though has its own spin on some things. Overall recommended.

So I played a couple hours in tempest rising and i must say that it is the best rts i've played since starcraft 2. This game has everything: mechanical and tactical depth, awesome graphic, really enjoyable story missions and now they finally added the Veti faction and everything just clicks together and its just so much better. Definitely a must play game (maybe it finally dethrones the king who knows)

For those who grew up playing Command and Conquer imagine this game as its spiritual successor!
