Is Multiplayer fun?

[Elko8001]

Im generally curious if the multiplayer is fun right now or not the games ive watched little of i don't really think so but i like peoples opinions on how the game is?

[General Kenobi]

yes. now go play, tho the match making is a bit meh cuz u can be matched by someone who is like pro so best play with friends in custom lobby

[Xcile92]

well i got this problem too... i cant play skirmish casually and chill for the day. i got 3 friends on steam. one who's a poor kid and doesnt have decent isp and the game. two my second friend has no pc but a ps5. my third friend is my other account to play with myself... so is multiplayer worth it as a casual gamer. or is everyone thinking like its call of duty and its all about the score boards? i miss my old C&C friends from my high school days. but my cat cant play pc games with his fluffypaws. skirmish is so bad for normal and hard balancing it gets borring when the retry button is the only game i have for tempest rising. currently gta is borked and i really want to play tempest rising. hell i promised my viewers i'd return to streaming after training with ai on skirmish but im starting to hate tempest rising because all they care about is the screw up on launch and multiplayer right now. and i cannot get a refund after more than 22hrs of playtime. so yeah. im getting bumbed out about my hopes for an awesome rts game. supposidly. i had to drop my review to negative because the game is not fun after campaign.

waiting update havent get the update so need to wait

I'm having fun and other people are also having fun, but fun is subjective and that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be fun for you. It has 1v1, 2v2, an MMR system, a variety of maps, quick play or lobby games, and ranked ladder should be out today tracking your progress. If you're into RTS and more specificly into C&C base building type of RTS then you might like this. It will benefit more from updates for sure, but it's still the first week.

Depends upon your style of play. If you are really competitive and like 10 minutes games, then this will be great for you.

[Persyval]

Yeah, it`s fun, but if you are looking for more maps or 3rd race, then i would just grind some matches to figure out how people are playing if i were you

[sboing]

hope we'll have 8 players matches as old RTS games. not yet implemented, and we don't know if it's planned

Edit:
I wanted to note, that You are trolling here..

But I saw, that You made positive review, what... confused me.

So do You like Tempest Rising now?

[GeforceJoe]

Yes and no, the moment you make a slick move or a slick move is done on your allies the person quits, especially in 2v2 matches end quick.

Maybe it's just me but I find competitive RTS to just be insanely stressful. Even when I win it's not satisfying

Obviously others will feel differently. But I def would prefer RTS games focus on PVE and co-op over competitive. Feels like every RTS aims for the competitive crowd and it never really works so I dunno

Also why is it literally every RTS launches with only 1v1 ranked matchmaking and that's it? 2v2 and others is always promised later. Literally every time. It's crazy. You can set your watch to an RTS launch doing everything this one has done. It's so weird.

Why does every single RTS narrow people into 1v1 stressful competitive matchmaking when the market for this is really small

Because many people (myself included) are opposite to you. I mostly only play RTS for the multiplayer (I never buy RTS games for a campaign or PVE) and indeed, I am most interested in competitive 1v1. I think there is something about outsmarting your opponent. Sure can be stressful, but winning is highly satisfying. Team games are fun too, but your impact is less pronounced.

Glad to hear this game has good ranked system, will give it another look.

This is why RTS games are dying. Because of heavy focus on pvp and ranked. MP will be dead in month or two. Mark my words. Or people will keep telling you can find a match in discord.. like it happened with almost every RTS game in the past 10 years.

This game have nothing to hold pve/casuals players. Core gameplay is good, but we have 3x 2v2 maps and only two factions in 2025, its a joke.

Every community is build on casual players.

Strongly disagree. If you look at the games like Company of Heroes 1 & 2, Starcraft. Wargame Red Dragon, which are 10+ years old, they are only still alive because of the multiplayer. Same applies to the newer games, where most of consistent active players are in PvP and casual players are more active during the releases of the new campaign DLCs and single-player missions.

RTS is dying not because of presence of PvP, but because the threshold into PvP is quite high, which creates the barrier to entry. New players might be interested in it, but the learning curve is quite steep, especially when you compare it to shooters, battle royale, racing games, etc. So many of them leave after a couple of hard losses, not willing to dedicate more time into learning how to properly play it.

without mp its not even rts. Rts if u like single player go ahead campaign and skimirsh.

Starcraft 2 is all about mp.
