Critic Reviews for Tempest Rising

Unashamedly retro in spirit yet modern where it counts, Tempest Rising is a riveting flashback to the halcyon days of the RTS.

A loving homage to classic Command & Conquer, Tempest Rising's single-player campaign brings back the fast-paced RTS gameplay but can't quite recapture the campy vibe

Developer Slipgate Ironworks provided an experience that nobody knew they actually wanted and this is perfectly modernizing an old formula

Tempest Rising comes at a great time, with few classic-type RTS games making an appearance. Tempest Rising easily recreates the fun of those early games and their addictive mechanics. At the same time, it looks and runs like a current title. Two impressive campaigns and the potential for endless enjoyment via skirmishes equals an impressive and exciting return to a regretfully absent genre.

Let's party like it's 1998! Tempest Rising brings us back all the right memories of Command & Conquer, and it's a lot of fun at an adrenaline-filled pace.

Tempest Rising is a classic RTS with a campaign, a spiritual successor to Command & Conquer that painstakingly remakes all things we know from the past. It won’t make the publishers want to give us more games like this, but it is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy sky above RTS land. One that will make fans of C&C smile.

Tempest Rising is finally an RTS that will appeal to both veterans and younger players. It offers a very pleasant compromise between classic gameplay and modern processing. Don't expect a lot of originality, but there's no shortage of fun.

Tempest Rising is definitely the heir to the vacant RTS throne left by Command & Conquer. While a bit more boldness would have been welcome, the game perfectly captures the nostalgic feeling.
