very fun can't wait to see what they add in the future

Yes! Play this.

Pros:
Addictive tug of war with a real-time strategy feel. Never too overwhelming.
Free-to-play done right: constant unit unlocks and not pay-to-win as all unit unlocks are balanced.

Cons:
Resource gathering can be done better other than prompting to upgrade at specific times.
Menu music is horrible as it does not fit the game.

Awesom game, even on the beta. I wish they kept it going and just upgraded from there, but i guess it is worth the wait anyhow.

Played for a few hours during the recent open beta - This game had a lot of great features and showed some terrific potential for a fun, casual time-waster right up there with the best of them!

Looking forward to seeing the direction this goes when it gets closer to release.

I love how it's giving away free gems every major update. The game relies on your strategy not on your money. Hope to see the full version sooner.

Fun little rts wave game, would recommend to people who want a fun little game to blow off some steam that takes about 15 mins per round. Arena is also fun, reminds me of the hearthstone arena. Can't wait for it to actually come out!

Nothing better then staying up till 3am to play with some chinese, korean players, going back and forth for hours, game after game. Only to be sent a friend request and messages to have to google translate it to insults and profanity. Other then that, I love this game and can't wait for it to come back.

This Game is Simply Awesome! So simple yet wonderfully engaging. I thought id only play with one army but ended up delving deep into different ways of using the armys and made it to a high rank and lvl 87 before the beta closed.

I am looking forward to being a dominant force in this game

Early Access of Jan 2017 was amassing.

I’m not a fan of the genre but still found it fun.

More importantly the content is not gated by paywalls thought features for pay to unlock are clearly in the making. This is still much better than games such as star wars force arena.

PS. anyone who plays StarCraft 2 desert strike in the arcade will be very familiar with this game and most likely hooked instantly :P

Seeing some of the positive review and have some hours into the game, I managed to get to level 30 and decided to write a review.

Art of War: Red Tides is a Massieve Multiplayer Online game where players (or commanders) were faced with an opponent in a simple map consist of 2 base facing each other. Commander would "create" troops with soul essence, and each wave the "created" troops produced the same amount of "created" troops without cost (For example, you created 5 snipers for 1000 soul essence, and then you got 5 snipers each wave without cost). This "created" troops is independent and you cannot control their movements. This may seems too easy, but with 3 different armies each with over 15 units to choose, you can custumize your playstyle ranging from stealth to full-blown air attack facing great numbers of anti-air unit. Commanders could also use commander's skill like missile, airborne, siege engine, etc..

Personally, this is a great game if you like to experiment on doing various things to achieve victory. It may be frustating and unbalanced sometimes, but if you got the hang of it, it'll be load of fun. 9/10

Doresc sa fiu si eu contactat in rezolvarea acestei probleme.
Cu respect,

Fun game. Will be getting it at launch. I just wish they would implement some heroes from the Three Kingdoms Era in China - such as Guan Yu, Leui bei, Cao Cao, etc.

during the beta theres only 3 type of armies you can build imagine if there were so many more. the game is a league of legends laning style where you build different kinds of units to strategize a way to defeat your opponent. each game is about 10 min long and i feel it should be extended with the thought of more lanes and more army styles.

i love this game. it is a really fun stategy game and i just love the idea of building my own army.

I had a blast playing this game and the only reason i stopped early was the sad news that the beta was ending. whenever this game comes back ill be right along with it, very strategical and very satisfying. can't think of a single loss that made me feel cheated, just outplayed. WELL DONE

Definetly a good game with a lot of potential!
Reminds me of the old flash games "Age of War" except this has excellent graphics and brilliant mechanics and improvements.
Greatly recommended! (I couldn't play more because the beta ended)

PhantomAcid

Yes this game is great! It really sucks the beta is over, but at least it comes back even better. What i love about this game is the way it is. You dont have to be really good, you will always win at some point. It also takes srategy, you have to think of how many units and what units to use at the right time in order to defaet your enemy. So if I were you i would get this game and wait for the new beta to come out.

Simular to Starcraft without Buildings tons of different units which are sorted by 3 Races easy 2 learn hard 2 master and find a well balanced Deck and u arent forced to spent money

Amazing game with great potential.

Graphics are relatively amzaing and enough for low to medium end computers to cope.
However, highher resolution graphics are much to be desired for players who would prefer better graphics.
Great if able to support resolutions such as 3440x1440 for my set up would be fanstastic.
Oh and also higher FOV.

As it's still being developed, some tweaks and fixes to the game is pretty understandable.

Most importantly, not a Pay To Win Title.
Fantastic for casual games such as myself.

a very good game - totally worth it even though it sometimes feels like you might be the only 'non-chinese' player. fun actuon packed game play and very addictive leveling up system. Collect all the troops from all three nations and fight it intense bettles against ai or in pvp battles.

one of the top games i have played for a while. everyone should play this but be warned it will get you hoked!

Excellent game taking a concept that was not seen before except in flash based browser games like Age of War, but taking to a whole other level!

Some players might argue that since you only control what amount of what type of creatures you summon, makes the game too simple, and does not give the player enough strategizing options, but i have to disagree, the fact that your options are limited makes strategy even more important in my opinion.

Hear me out on that one, if played in ranked, one player of each team bans a commander skill, and another bans a troop. What you think your ennemy might play factors a lot into that choice, let's say you faced an oponent before, and you know he prefers terrans, banning terran skills and troops might force him out of his comfort zone.

then once in-game, MANY choices are in front of you, do you produce mass low tier troops? do you produce minimal amount needed to hold back the ennemies to save for early tier 2 or 3?? then you need to make decisions to counter the ennemy tactics, for example, they have no anti-air early on, instead of your usual tactics you then produce flying troops to force them to adapt, etc.

Also after playing a while and gathering a lot of currencies you start unlocking advanced troops, then again adding another level of strategy to the game, as some troops are "weaker" but have amazing active abilites you then must decide when to use.

All in all, GREAT game!! can't wait for the actual release!

this game is a awsome semi top down game similar to the ways of smite you have a few towers to defend b4 the enemy gets to your base, similar to starcraft it has similar units some may be at least semi able to know without playing the game b4, and similar to some games like starcraft u make units and send them into battle to try to take down the opponent. overall i loved this game i cant wait for it to be released again and for me to be able to play it again ( hopefully automaticly for free)

To bad I only got to sink my teeth into the game shortly before the beta closed

What I DID play though was fun!

Spawn troops in to destory your foe, sounds simple? Well of course there are WHICH troops do you chose, you can unlock all the troops your faction can use but you must pick only 6 kinds

You as a commander have skills which can infulence the tide of battle, drop some extra troops, BOMB THEM! and much more

Though I did notice some texts in game weren't in English...If I recall correctly it was on info such as "tips to use X and how to counter X"...which granted we can figure out the old fashioned way, but I like reading those, oh! and story is also behind a language wall but It was in beta, im sure they will fix it in time....then we can see what juicy story we got between terrans, ice people and animal people(?) Again didn't play much but I enjoyed it

It personally make me think of Star Craft if it were made into a tug of war inside LOL or DOTA, not that there is anything wrong with that, I enjoy games that cut some of the resource gathering and just get to the spawning

Anyway, here is hoping Red Tides refines its Art of War to spectacular heights :)

This is a game i can get lost in without feeling as though im grinding. It's a great game to play casually and an even better game to dive into. I really enjoyed trying to make my strategy for the day as efficient as possible while reacting to what the enemy was presenting on the battlefield. The timing between troop deployments really sets up the foundation for the entire game and i think you guys nailed it!
