About Tempest Rising

Tempest Rising is a base-building real-time strategy game that channels the RTS classics of the 1990s and 2000s while pairing them with modern production values and performance. Set in a present-day alternate history, it drops you into a war scenario shaped by three distinct factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy, offering a range of strategies suited to players of every stripe.

The single-player side spans two eleven-mission campaigns in which you command either the mobile, high-tech peacekeeping forces of the Global Defense Forces or the desperate, hard-hitting Tempest Dynasty. Both armies race to understand and control the mysterious Tempest vines spreading unchecked across a war-torn Earth, and you can customize your forces for each mission. Between-mission cutscenes gradually reveal the origins of the Tempest, along with other dangers lurking in the shadows.

Gameplay keeps a firm focus on strategy while still rewarding skill, aiming for something deep and satisfying rather than punishing. Three asymmetrical factions, two of them playable at launch, each field a distinct economy, play style, and unit roster, and built-in customization lets players tackle challenges their own way. Beyond the campaigns, the action-driven strategy game supports skirmish, custom games, and ranked play on PC.
