RTS Game Purple War Trailer May Show The Best Warcraft Clone Yet

screenrant.com:

Upcoming RTS game Purple War has released a new trailer that shows that it may be the best Warcraft clone yet. It’s been over a decade since Warcraft creator Blizzard Entertainment released a brand-new RTS game. While the studio did release Warcraft 3: Reforged in 2020, including many of the classic game’s elements, including its gameplay and the same cheats from Warcraft 3, the remaster also changed or removed components that led it to receive overwhelmingly negative reviews from its players.

While the real-time strategy genre isn’t as popular as it once was, there are still many developers that are still working on and releasing new RTS titles. While some are simply the latest installment or iteration in long-running RTS franchises, some are brand-new IPs that either try to rekindle the feel of classic RTS titles or put a unique spin on the genre in an attempt to make it more attractive to new players in the age of battle royales, MOBAs, and other live-service titles. Some of 2021’s Best RTS games were a clear indication of this trend, including the likes of Age Of Empires 4, Beyond All Reason, and more.

According to developer Warlogics, Purple War will have a playtest from April
