Modern wars as compared to the wars of old are not seen with the same amount of mystification and reverence as wars in the olden days are. This is due to the current generation growing up in the aftermath of some of the biggest wars of the modern age. A game that manages to convey the raw emotions of these wars is Unconventional Warfare. Now the name might tell a story of fighting against all odds in the most dire of situations, but it is also a play on the narrative that wars in the current day have simple reasons as to why they started. This a fact players will slowly realize as the game goes on because with each battle survived the player will see the bigger picture and only then will he realize that the game was rigged from the start.

To cap off the list we have a game that is by far the most faithful adaption of a futuristic sci-fi setting in an RTS since the days of Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars. It is none other than the indie game GEO Core Force, a primarily Android-based RTS. Now while that might already set it apart from the rest in terms of uniqueness the game also is a retro game. Meaning it uses the same graphics and art style from the early to late 90s. Resulting in a game with not only fantastic combat but also a timeless art style that is not affected by the need for better graphics. But it is also important to keep in mind that the game was originally developed for androids meaning performance might be an issue. Or would have been an issue if the developers weren't working hard in converting this game into a legit retro masterpiece. A lofty goal that they seem to have already achieved if the fan support is anything to go by. So if you wish to witness a retro RTS game from the comfort of your phone then GEO Core Force is the game for you.
