398 real-time strategy games on Steam with co-op or multiplayer, ranked by how many people are playing right now and how well they review. Part of Strategy.
Real-time strategy is a two-player genre at heart: one versus one, or two against the AI. Age of Empires II is the game the whole genre gets compared to, with lobbies as full as ever; Age of Empires IV and III sit alongside it. Total War: Warhammer III has the best co-op campaign in strategy today — two factions, one map, hundreds of hours. Company of Heroes 2, Men of War and Wargame: Red Dragon are for pairs who want their tactics with a bit of history; Foxhole is the persistent-war oddity where thousands of players fight one long war. Ranked by players online and rating, so the RTS titles with dead ladders don't get in the way of the ones people play tonight.
