I REALLY liked it, *but* the inability to zoom the camera, the troop ai's threat range being way too big for them to be easily controlled, and the only options being on-screen troops or ALL troops make it a pass for me. I'll probably pick it up again in the future but I'm not entirely invested with those things. Maybe these are just holdovers from it being a console port?
They do not have any servers live for multiplayer matchmaking. if you have a group of friends then you can do it on skirmish otherwise, think again.
Just as good as I remember, if not even better since I can actually grasp the mechanics properly as opposed to little 9yo me lmao
Entry level RTS mechanics but quite satisfying in execution and given the love and attention to detail expected in a franchise of this calibre - I was messing around in skirmish for a while against the AI just experimenting and I noticed that the 'Elite Honor Guard' (?) unit that the Prophet gets has a very cool, unique set of animations for killing other enemy elite units (Spartans, namely) - lots of little things like this add a level of quality and polish that help mask what is an otherwise very basic, almost designed-to-the-point, entry level RTS game mechanically. You're probably never going to NEED to move 8 different unit groups of troops across the battlefield, but I guess, you could? If you really wanted to? It's not age of empires or other RTS games where specific units might have exclusive counters in other specific units and instead uses a general rock-paper-scissors type balance, this, though, honestly working in the games favour as with only 2 factions and 6 'characters' playable, the roster is quite limited, although each of the 3 characters on each side or faction has a unique unit or two, and differences in passive benefits and active abilities, outside of this the UNSC play like the UNSC and the Wort Wort Wort play like Wort Wort Wort. The story is your typical halo "as camp as starship troopers but twice as serious". There's really not much 'game' here in terms of replay-ability outside of skirmishing the AI unless you're keen on multiplayer against other players and if starting this in 2025 I imagine you're going probably going to get the welcome you expect as a new player in a somewhat hyperspecific 10 year old game - you're going to be beat like a runaway slave.
Even better than I remember, fun gameplay and a control scheme that translates really well to mouse and keyboard. If you ever played with controller when this originally released on the console then you'll already have a decent grasp at control here. Co-op campaign is fun, skirmishes with friends and strangers is fun. I like Halo Wars.
May not be made or supported by bunjie but is still a good game.
10/10 would genocide all rebels from the map again.
...Oh, and I guess stop the covenant too. That's probably important.
Halo Wars is a solid and approachable real-time strategy (RTS) game that brings the epic Halo universe into a new genre. While it may not satisfy hardcore RTS veterans, it’s a great entry point for newcomers or fans of the franchise looking to experience the lore in a new way.
The game’s biggest strength is its simplicity. Unlike more complex RTS titles, Halo Wars keeps things streamlined, focusing on building bases, training units, and engaging in large-scale battles. The controls, designed for consoles, translate surprisingly well to PC, making it easy to jump in and start commanding armies without feeling overwhelmed.
The campaign is fun and engaging, offering a classic Halo storyline with memorable characters, cinematic cutscenes, and plenty of fan service. Playing as the UNSC Spirit of Fire against the Covenant feels true to the franchise, and the mission variety keeps things interesting. While the story isn’t groundbreaking, it adds depth to the Halo universe and delivers some great moments.
The unit design is another highlight. From Warthogs and Scorpions to Spartans and the Arbiter, every unit feels distinctly Halo. The rock-paper-scissors mechanics are simple but effective, and commanding massive armies in battle is undeniably satisfying.
However, the game’s simplicity can also be its drawback. The depth of strategy is limited compared to other RTS games, and hardcore fans of the genre may find the mechanics too shallow. Multiplayer is fun but lacks the complexity and variety that make other RTS titles shine.
Visually, the game holds up well, especially in the Definitive Edition, with improved graphics and performance. The soundtrack and voice acting are excellent, capturing the iconic feel of the Halo series.
Halo Wars may not revolutionize the RTS genre, but it’s a well-made, accessible, and fun experience that’s perfect for Halo fans and casual strategy players. It’s a great way to explore the Halo universe from a new perspective.
Rating: 7/10 – A simple but enjoyable strategy game for Halo lovers.
This was a good cheap RTS game that brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood. It offers a unique twist to the Halo franchise, blending the series’ signature sci-fi warfare with the strategic gameplay of an RTS game.
Unlike traditional Halo games that focus on first-person shooting, Halo Wars puts players in the role of commanders, controlling large armies in real-time battles. Players can manage units, base-building, and resource gathering. The game’s controls are optimized for the Xbox controller, making it accessible for console players, although it’s a bit different from what you’d expect from a typical RTS on PC.
There’s a strong emphasis on tactical unit placement and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different unit types, from infantry to vehicles to air support. The game also includes heroes, special units with unique abilities that add another layer of strategy.
I believe it's a perfectly good rts that, in my opinion, is a spiritual continuation of battle for middle earth 1's game play and the only thing that is wrong is that it was built with controller in mind leading the controls to suffer as i will always believe that rts games require the keyboard and mouse and they just don't work with a controller. Now bring halo wars 2 to steam already Microsoft, it's already on pc it can't be that difficult. Maybe it might need patching, but it shouldn't be locked to windows store.
El juego está bueno. Las misiones son re contra repetitivas. La historia jamás me chupó más un huevo que otra cosa. Es divertido jugar un RTS por ahí diferente al resto, pero que decir... Está en la escala del "Safa?", un poquito más abajo de "Safa" ajsjsjajaja, un poronga, pero me dió nostalgia lo tenía en la xbox, si me lo di vuelta, es bastante cortito. Lo recomiendo nomás si querés por ahí jugar un RTS diferente o bien te gusta la saga de Halo, no hay otras razones. 5/10
A chill RTS game set in the Halo Universe, covering events and stories that take place before the main series. It’s pretty fun to play and easy to 100% for achievement hunters.
The multiplayer is mostly dead, so the 2–3 achievements that require a second player can be a bit annoying to get. However, you can try to find people in the Community Hub and ask for help since the related achievements are easy to do.
Quirky RTS with an overall solid campaign
Fun to play with friends and has a good campaign.

As someone who’s been playing Halo since I was a kid, this is a great RTS game that offers a great story, lore, and game play while staying true to the spirit of the original games..
Reminds me of AoE II, but with aircraft and tanks. 10/10
Most nostalgic game for me, just wish we had more players in 2025
Great campaign, great multiplayer, terrible community. 1/3 of online lobbies will have someone being homophobic or calling someone the n word, 1/3 will have someone flaming a brand new player, and 1/3 will be chill. Some players are so weird they'll stalk your steam profile and flame you if you're from south america or mexico. Fun game if you ignore most of the people who play it.
*casually releases the best console RTS*
I don't think i have ever seen a port done more poorly. It really was a slap together job that was rushed under a zero dollar budget. The game alone was always a mid RTS and only sold well due to it being halo and one of the few RTS games for a console. If you have fond memories for this game its worth about $5 or less. otherwise id would avoid it if possible.
As someone who plays RTS games mainly for their story campaigns, this one was decent, more like a shallow but entertainign action movie than an epic; the gameplay is very streamlined, but in a good way and for the short time the campaign lasts, entertaining enough.
best rts strategy a bit aged so not extremely active but great game join the discord groups to make quing faster
One of the few RTSes out there that is not only controller compatible but controller optimized. The AI scaling is pretty neat but the Prophet of Regret can eat my entire ass.
An amazing game, whilst Halo Wars 2 is better in quite a few aspects, this game was amazing especially for its time and how much content it contains
Great Game to play. Fun. It reminds me of Command and Conquer. The good old games!!!
+Game has aged very well and transferred well over to the PC
+Very smooth and visual upgrades are well made
+Game is easy to understand and play
+Strips down Real Time Strategy for use on a controller
+Lots of love for the Halo Universe
+Multiplayer has lots of modes
+Online Co-op for Campaign
One of my long-time favorite games. Simple RTS game. The only thing that could be much better is a few more units and better unit control
One of, if not the only RTS game to have co-op campaign. The multiplayer performance is a bit questionable at times though
A classic for those wanted to relive the earlier years of Halo.
fun game from the past long forgotten about
Fun game. I put so many hours into this on my Xbox and decided to rebuy it on PC to play it again
I dont know why i never played this game when it came out back in the day but this game still holds up today as a super fun game to play with friends!
Fun game, plays kind of like Starcraft-lite which can be fun for just jumping into
This game is fantastic addition to the Halo property. The campaign story has it's faults with the plot, but it is much better than all the other 343 Industries games. Not to mention the cutscenes are phenomenal and gameplay is repetitive but fun. Truly fantastic to have a Real Time Strategy game in the Halo franchise.
The "Leader Overhaul Mod" is a must play to experience the full potential of a Halo RTS.
I LOVE the intuitive pathfinding in this game. Melee units and large vehicles are especially easy to maneuver around! Truly an incredible game!
This game is fire. It's a simplified RTS, majorly dumbed down compared to C&C RA:3 and StarCraft 2
Great for trying to get friends that don't play RTS's into this style of game.
If you like Halo and RTS's. Here you go. 7/10
This is arguably one of the best RTS games if you are new to the genre. Even the campaign manages to be entertaining which already puts it leagues above others.
very fun and mods make it even better nut its kinda hard to get them if you dont know if your doing
Really good rts game with a good story
after 100% halo wars all i can say is this is one of my fav RTS games out there and a damn fun halo game
This game has some potential for awesome battles in its skirmish mode, this game is absolutely amazing and has relatively easy controls to learn.
Halo Wars is Halo, but a different genre.
What more could you ask for?
I want to start off this review by saying i wish the developers nothing but the worst. They Halo 2'd the Legendary difficulty so horrendously youd think they redesigned the game from the ground up with Frankenstein's monster as the lead.
Just tell me how in the hell you mess up a game 8 years after you make it like my brother in Christ you didn't even wait the full decade for the remaster. Imagine if they actually waited for a Halo Wars anniversary.
A classic on every front.
Made by the late Ensemble Studios, this game presents to the player a simple, yet deep and rich experience that will put their micro-management skills to the test. The setting being part of the Halo universe gives it an extra allure, letting us into a part of the story that's more humane, more grounded and gritty than even the mainline games.
Every person that enjoys RTS's should at least give this game a try.
Fun beginner RTS. Graphics and details are good.
Amazing game I love this more the the first game (RIP SGT. Forge)
A great RTS that has a great amount of depth too it, even if it seems kind of simple at first. The campaign isn't great story wise, but still challenging and fun gameplay-wise. I recommend this game highly.
Quite good game in Halo setting. Expands the lore a little bit more.
fun quick game to get into. if you like RTS or are new to the genera. controls are easy to learn with a quick and easy campaign that hits all the Halo fans wants.
