RTS for seven year old?

somegeek · Feb 22, 2015

Any suggestions on an RTS for my seven year old son? He saw me playing Supreme Commander and liked it. He gets a few hours of game time per day and so far likes Roblox, Minecraft, Prodigy... an easy to play, basic RTS would be sweet to put in front of him. Any suggestions? Older titles are fine too as well if the help him cut his teeth.

Thanks in advance.

Age of empires may be good. The red alert games don't have a lot of base building so that may be helpful.

World in Conflict Hands down. It is a purely tactical RTS. There is no resource gathering or base building whatsoever. You just capture points on the map for your team. You are also limited to controlling about 15-20 units per player at a time at the most, and in many cases, such as helicopters, 5 or 6 units. It focuses on tactics. It is one of the most fun RTS games I have ever played.

I guarantee you the kid will love it.

If you can run older Windows games WarCraft II or Star Command Revolution/Deluxe are great starter RTS'.

I vote Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion. Awesome, awesome game. I think I started playing it around that 8, too.

starcraft is also another good one.

that one and age of empires were good ones when i was younger, and still good now!
