Warcave and Crazy Monkey Studios have today announced the upcoming launch of Warparty on Nintendo Switch, a real-time strategy game arriving on 28th March.
The game has spent the last few months in Steam Early Access, preparing to unleash its prehistoric battles in full form later this month. As you can see in the trailer above, the game throws dinosaurs and mythical creatures into the typical RTS mix.
You'll be playing as one of three factions - the Wildlanders, Necromas, or Vithara - each of which comes with its own units, buildings, playstyles, and talents to work with on the battlefield. Game modes include Survival, AI Skirmish and Custom Online Multiplayer, which offers RTS battles for up to six friends, and a fresh Story Campaign which comes with unique maps, factions, missions, and cinematic cutscenes.
What do you think? An RTS that could be good to take on the go? Or not your cup of prehistoric tea? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.

I’m sold, well depending on the controls!!
Nice. And agreed, controls.
Controls. All depends of that.
I think RTS is a genre exclusive to mobile gaming... I don't think I'll pick this one up unless it comes to smartphones.
EDIT: sorry everyone, it's really not a mobile gaming genre.
Very interested, but a little concerned about the "Dedicated Servers" bit. What happens when those go away? I assume we'll still have single-player, but will there be any multi-player option then? I know, I know - it's unlikely I'll still be playing by that time, but I like to think about the "what if" questions just in case I love this.
seems like most people have the same reservation. This does look good, but RTS controls are hard to really nail down on consoles. I hope they can pull it off.
@Drache_Kaiser
I just think that it's a genre that only really belongs as a mobile game that you look at once or twice a day and then put down.
@Drache_Kaiser We heave reached an era where people think RTS is a mobile genre 0.0
@HarryHyruleHero Are you sure you're thinking of RTS, and not general, or specifically turn-based, strategy? Because I'm pretty sure most hardcore RTS fans would strongly disagree with you. The type of strategy games on mobile are not really what we talk about when we refer to RTS on PC, or even console.
Looks a bit bland
@Regpuppy I'm not exactly a "hardcore RTS fan" I just thought it seems odd to have this kind of game on Nintendo Switch. That being said I have literally no experience with RTSs apart from Clash of Clans on my phone.
@HarryHyruleHero Clash of Clans is just Strategy, not RTS. The actual battles might look like RTS, but they're way too simple and hands off for it to be classified as an RTS. As the name Real Time Strategy implies, there needs to be an involved real time battle system.
If you want a good example of RTS, specifically, like the game in this article. Look up Halo Wars, Command and Conquer (not the mobile game), or Starcraft. Generally, RTS is a genre that tends to be better suited for PC. Though Halo Wars and the old Command & Conquer games did fairly well on console.
REAL TIME Strategy my man...
Im very excited for an RTS . LOL on some of the comments. Controls will be very interesting but ill def give it a go!!!
I'll get my dinosaur fix with Turok, thanks.
I'd be sold if these were mechs instead of dinos.
Don`t crucify me, but I`d like some Starcraft on the Switch lol. This is nice, but not nice enough for me since I`ve got tons of games to play already...
Looks really good! Need some more RTS love!
@HarryHyruleHero What?????? I disagree STRONGLY! Warcraft 3 for example was very great for PC! Army Men RTS is another example that was great on Console (PC version as well)! (RTS does not belong on mobile to me, plus clash of clans is WAY different then the games I mentioned).
I'm definitely interested will probably depend on cost...anyone see a price point on Warparty?
@HarryHyruleHero it existed on pc and n64 long before that
I like it looks like Myth(PC) but dinosaurs. Just like StarCraft but DinoWars... I like. So sign me up to the place to buy it?>???
NO eShop.... common...........
@HarryHyruleHero What... what smartphone RTSes are there even? I've never heard of one.
...Eh, I prefer the scifi ones more.
Looks like something I'll want to look into
i looked at the steam page for this game and it said online play was steam exclusive.
