Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games are a genre of video games where players manage resources, build units, and engage in combat in real-time. Unlike turn-based games, RTS requires quick thinking and fast decision-making as players must react to opponents' actions immediately. Popular examples include StarCraft and Age of Empires.
In RTS games, players often control a base or a faction, gathering resources to create units and structures. The goal is typically to defeat opponents through strategic planning and tactical execution. The genre emphasizes both individual skill and teamwork, making it a favorite among competitive gamers.
