What Are Strategy Games?

Strategy games are video games that hinge on players thinking critically and planning ahead to achieve victory. These games often involve resource management, tactical decision-making, and outsmarting opponents. Whether you're building an empire, commanding an army, or navigating a complex world, this genre emphasizes tactical prowess more than brute force.

There are a lot of subgenres in the strategy game world, with many using different mechanics, art styles, and narratives. For example, RTS refers to real-time strategy games, which is a subgenre of its own. Given the nature of this genre and how it grew over time, strategy games aren’t exclusive to PC gamers and consoles anymore. In fact, you can also play many strategy games on mobile.
