Art of War: Red Tides

Really good concept game. Very unique and team based oriented. Would recommend!!

Waiting for this to COME BACK!!!

Played the game from the first beta release,wish id play it again,kinda miss the early first bloods.
It plays smooth and you get free gems easly,easy to buy troops and upgrade early,it is all about the strategy and team work in some modes like 3 vs 3.

Can't wait till release. Awesome game. Very well made. Challenging good shit on 3v3 even with random players.
This game will shine even more on portables. I'll play it a lot for sure wherever it is.

To bad I only got to sink my teeth into the game shortly before the beta closed

What I DID play though was fun!

Spawn troops in to destory your foe, sounds simple? Well of course there are WHICH troops do you chose, you can unlock all the troops your faction can use but you must pick only 6 kinds

You as a commander have skills which can infulence the tide of battle, drop some extra troops, BOMB THEM! and much more

Though I did notice some texts in game weren't in English...If I recall correctly it was on info such as "tips to use X and how to counter X"...which granted we can figure out the old fashioned way, but I like reading those, oh! and story is also behind a language wall but It was in beta, im sure they will fix it in time....then we can see what juicy story we got between terrans, ice people and animal people(?) Again didn't play much but I enjoyed it

It personally make me think of Star Craft if it were made into a tug of war inside LOL or DOTA, not that there is anything wrong with that, I enjoy games that cut some of the resource gathering and just get to the spawning

Anyway, here is hoping Red Tides refines its Art of War to spectacular heights :)

its a great game overall but I personally get bored easily with it. maybe they should add more factions or units as starters

i like this game.every thing is great. when i start to play this game it was hard but after some hours of playing it get easier to play with evrey hour in the game its get more comfortable and more easier

all that i sayed is not good for you
then try the game

Excellent game taking a concept that was not seen before except in flash based browser games like Age of War, but taking to a whole other level!

Some players might argue that since you only control what amount of what type of creatures you summon, makes the game too simple, and does not give the player enough strategizing options, but i have to disagree, the fact that your options are limited makes strategy even more important in my opinion.

Hear me out on that one, if played in ranked, one player of each team bans a commander skill, and another bans a troop. What you think your ennemy might play factors a lot into that choice, let's say you faced an oponent before, and you know he prefers terrans, banning terran skills and troops might force him out of his comfort zone.

then once in-game, MANY choices are in front of you, do you produce mass low tier troops? do you produce minimal amount needed to hold back the ennemies to save for early tier 2 or 3?? then you need to make decisions to counter the ennemy tactics, for example, they have no anti-air early on, instead of your usual tactics you then produce flying troops to force them to adapt, etc.

Also after playing a while and gathering a lot of currencies you start unlocking advanced troops, then again adding another level of strategy to the game, as some troops are "weaker" but have amazing active abilites you then must decide when to use.

All in all, GREAT game!! can't wait for the actual release!

i liked it, its basically an income wars game, very interesting and i think im going to like it better when the full game comes out, and i am eager to play it again. keep up the good work boys

a very good game - totally worth it even though it sometimes feels like you might be the only 'non-chinese' player. fun actuon packed game play and very addictive leveling up system. Collect all the troops from all three nations and fight it intense bettles against ai or in pvp battles.

one of the top games i have played for a while. everyone should play this but be warned it will get you hoked!

Amazing game with great potential.

Graphics are relatively amzaing and enough for low to medium end computers to cope.
However, highher resolution graphics are much to be desired for players who would prefer better graphics.
Great if able to support resolutions such as 3440x1440 for my set up would be fanstastic.
Oh and also higher FOV.

As it's still being developed, some tweaks and fixes to the game is pretty understandable.

Most importantly, not a Pay To Win Title.
Fantastic for casual games such as myself.

Definetly a good game with a lot of potential!
Reminds me of the old flash games "Age of War" except this has excellent graphics and brilliant mechanics and improvements.
Greatly recommended! (I couldn't play more because the beta ended)

I had a blast playing this game and the only reason i stopped early was the sad news that the beta was ending. whenever this game comes back ill be right along with it, very strategical and very satisfying. can't think of a single loss that made me feel cheated, just outplayed. WELL DONE

Seeing some of the positive review and have some hours into the game, I managed to get to level 30 and decided to write a review.

Art of War: Red Tides is a Massieve Multiplayer Online game where players (or commanders) were faced with an opponent in a simple map consist of 2 base facing each other. Commander would "create" troops with soul essence, and each wave the "created" troops produced the same amount of "created" troops without cost (For example, you created 5 snipers for 1000 soul essence, and then you got 5 snipers each wave without cost). This "created" troops is independent and you cannot control their movements. This may seems too easy, but with 3 different armies each with over 15 units to choose, you can custumize your playstyle ranging from stealth to full-blown air attack facing great numbers of anti-air unit. Commanders could also use commander's skill like missile, airborne, siege engine, etc..

Personally, this is a great game if you like to experiment on doing various things to achieve victory. It may be frustating and unbalanced sometimes, but if you got the hang of it, it'll be load of fun. 9/10

This Game is Simply Awesome! So simple yet wonderfully engaging. I thought id only play with one army but ended up delving deep into different ways of using the armys and made it to a high rank and lvl 87 before the beta closed.

I am looking forward to being a dominant force in this game

Nothing better then staying up till 3am to play with some chinese, korean players, going back and forth for hours, game after game. Only to be sent a friend request and messages to have to google translate it to insults and profanity. Other then that, I love this game and can't wait for it to come back.

Played for a few hours during the recent open beta - This game had a lot of great features and showed some terrific potential for a fun, casual time-waster right up there with the best of them!

Looking forward to seeing the direction this goes when it gets closer to release.

This game was very fun. I did not play for very long, but I had a 100% winrate in 1v1 and 3v3s.
The skill gap is very giant I'm assuming as I didn't get passed players who did the same thing everytime.
It's a very fun RTS (WHILE IT WAS FREE) I don't think I would pay very much for this game though.

Enjoying the Beta so far. simple game controls so it's all about your stratergy! Graphics are beautiful too. I rarely rate games and yet I give this somewhere of a 7 out of 10

This game is easy to understand and play but very hard to master, Its great fun to play with friends. No matter what games you play you should try this one out.

ITS FREE!

So this game has its moments. Relatively fun Beta. It is based on SC2 Arcade Desert Strike. I <3 Des Here is my list of things that unfortunately make in inferior during the Beta.
-It doesn't allow you to move the screen when you are selecting a card. It isn't a very big map.
-When you first start off people have an advantage because of cards, upgrades or specials. I think this really bothers me because Des is about countering units. It is much harder to counter when you simply cannot have that upgrade.
-You cannot just click a unit and see what it is. You have to hold tab to see their layout.
-At the starting when you can earn extra $$$ the units have terrible AI
