Frost Giant's upcoming free-to-play RTS Stormgate is hoping to push back against the idea that RTS is a difficult genre for newcomers, largely due to the genre's history as a pillar of extremely competitive eSports. While a free-to-play model is already a solid way to welcome budding RTS fans without a financial commitment, it's Stormgate's refreshing attitude toward new player approachability that makes it truly stand out among its peers. An easy-to-read UI, customizable automated assistance, and an emphasis on cooperative and campaign play are some of the highlights that make Stormgate a solid first RTS.
