As time goes on, it gets harder and harder for me to get excited over new real-time Strategy (RTS) games. For a long, long while it seemed as if no single developer could dethrone the mighty Blizzard’s Starcraft as the “Best. RTS. Evar” and I’d even go as far as saying it probably hasn’t happened yet. However, every so often an RTS comes along that does things a little differently from the rest of the pack. Rise of Nations was the last RTS I really sunk my teeth into because I felt the Risk-like gameplay was fresh and entertaining. Nemesis of the Roman Empire (NRE) also brings some fresh changes to the RTS genre and I can honestly say it takes a big step in the right direction. NRE possesses a few hard-to-miss flaws, but all in all it is a fun game.
