IGdood Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi guys, skitarii here. I was wondering if any of you know if Anime RTS exists, like maybe a Anime version of Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, Starcraft, etc. I know RTS isn't popular in Japan, (same with FPS...), but there has to be a few titles floating around somewhere? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 A peculiar request, to be true. All my considerable gaming experience points to no from my end. Sorry :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah, the closest thing I can find is a MMORTS from Korea and a possible H-game from long ago with a dead torrent. Lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I can't even remember the last RTS game that was developed in Japan, let alone an anime-inspired one. The closest you can get is the Japanese guys in RA3. Edited April 5, 2011 by Excellen Browning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Fuck RTS, play TBS. Specifically play Sengoku Rance. Go download it now. You'll thank me later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Isn't Sengoku Rance a H-game....? But but I like my RTS....although TBS is pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well, I guess you could sorta argue that Valkyria chronicles is a RTS and it has an anime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yeah...I guess, with third-person shooter elements....it relies more on blitzing rather than hold the line battle style....and I don't own a PS3.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 There's also two PSP ones... one of which is only in Japanese, granted. But Valkyria Chronicles is the closest thing I can think of. It's a strategy game that, at some level, involves real-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'll bet you there is one. And it involves Touhou. The masses of Touhou fans would not allow any kind of game to escape being touched by Touhou-ness. They made a goddmamn Touhou-Fire Emblem. There's an RTS hiding somewhere in the midst.

For manly men that can handle H-games. FWIW you can avoid many H-scenes by not being a rapetastic douchebag, but you would suck if you did that.

eclipse Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Spectral Force (the DS one) is the closest I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Why do you want an anime RTS anyway? there are plenty of good non-anime ones. Granted, Gundam style robot RTS would be damn cool, but Supreme Commander already has that covered and more. The closest thing I can think of would be Red Alert3, it's not amine but a lot of the Empire's units are heavily inspired by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTF234 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) I'll bet you there is one. And it involves Touhou. The masses of Touhou fans would not allow any kind of game to escape being touched by Touhou-ness. They made a goddmamn Touhou-Fire Emblem. There's an RTS hiding somewhere in the midst. Hit the nail on the head. Loathing sarcasm aside, there IS something akin to an RTS made with that source material, made by Twilight Frontier, who made the official fighting games as well as Higurashi Daybreak (which had 2 PSP releases). Patchcon Defend the Library. There's keyboard controls, but everything can be handled with its very simple point and click interface. It's a very small game revolving around using little mass produced squeaky clones of the characters from 6 through 10. Each character has a type: melee, bullet, and float, which have a triangular effective relationship- in addition to their own stats and special skills which increase as you purchase upgrades for them. The objective in any game mode is just to defend a bookshelf from any enemy horde approaching it- the shelf has 20 books, which function as a life meter for you. Lose all 20 points and it's game over. Waves of enemies will come at various time intervals over 12 hours of game time (represented by a clock in the top right corner of the screen), and you need to destroy them before they can get to the books. You can prematurely summon the next wave to acquire a score multiplier, the quicker you invoke them the higher it gets. You additionally have a set of spells, each one time use, to help prevent you from failing, though using one instantly ends your score multiplier. Difficulty settings increase the number of waves per game "hour" as well as adds in other effects like obscuring who the incoming horde is. I find that Patchcon is pretty fun in its simplicity. There are a number of alternative modes to alter the basics of the gameplay, including a Tower Defense mode, even a boss rush mode, where you fight nothing but the enormous boss class enemies. You shouldn't have any problem finding it and the English patch made for it, not that there's all that much text in the game in the first place. It's not anything like what one would normally consider an RTS since there's no real campaign or anything like that, but it's a good little time killer. Then again I still don't quite understand why one would specifically want an RTS presented with an anime-esque style over something else that delivers the same thing but lacking that aesthetic. I rarely care what the game looks like or is based on if it delivers what I want out of it, but to each their own I guess.

IGdood Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks GTF24, I'll look into that. I also remembered I have FFXII Revenant Wings somewhere....lol...couldn't believe I forgot that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Tak of Magic on the Wii. I heard it was a weird RTS/RPG hybrid of some sort. Not sure how accurate that description is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
