Games Like The Settlers® : Rise of an Empire - History Edition (2026)

Shared: Casual Strategy

Wobbly physics chaos meets surprisingly deep unit-stacking strategy. TABS lets you pit ridiculous armies against each other and somehow makes it compulsive.

Shared: City-Builder

Water management so deep it'll ruin your sleep schedule: Timberborn makes dam-building feel like genuine systems engineering, wrapped in a post-apocalyptic beaver colony that somehow stays charming the whole way through.

Shared: Expansion Included

Forget resource harvesting and blob warfare, CoH's territory-control economy and cover-based squad tactics set a benchmark in 2006 that most RTS games still haven't cleared.

Shared: Campaign Included

Forts is a physics-driven RTS where you build and arm a fortress in real time while your opponent does the same, then blow each other apart.

Shared: local-multiplayer

After two decades of franchise misfire, Unfrozen has done the unthinkable: built a worthy successor to Heroes III that actually respects what made the original great. Early Access, yes, but already dangerous to your sleep schedule.
