AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Age of Empires IV

Like Battle for Middle-earth II, this game offers a rich real-time strategy experience with distinct factions, focusing on base building, resource management, and large-scale warfare, but with a historical rather than fantasy setting.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

While set in a sci-fi universe, StarCraft II delivers the same high-octane real-time strategy action, demanding quick decision-making and precise unit control, much like the intense battles in Battle for Middle-earth II.

Company of Heroes 3

This game brings the real-time strategy focus to World War II, emphasizing tactical unit placement and cover mechanics over base building, offering a different but equally engaging 'Action' and 'Strategy' experience as Battle for Middle-earth II.
