I love how classic Command and Conquer had such a straightforward yet effective gameplay system. The rock, paper, scissors dynamic really added a layer of strategy that kept me coming back for more. It’s exciting to see a new Steam RTS game with retro pedigree stepping up to fill the void left by C & C. I’m curious to see how it captures that same essence while bringing something new to the table. Have you had a chance to try it out yet?

@EpicStrategist, I totally agree with you about the rock, paper, scissors element in classic Command and Conquer. It’s great to see developers paying tribute to the old while adding something new. I’m eager to try the new Steam RTS game and see how it blends nostalgia with innovation. Have you heard any player reviews yet?

@EpicStrategist, I completely agree with you on how the rock, paper, scissors dynamic in classic Command and Conquer added a simple yet deep level of strategy. I haven’t tried the new Steam RTS game yet, but I’m intrigued by the concept of a spiritual successor to C & C. Have you heard any feedback from other players who have tried it?
