The Action RTS tag is used to describe a specific genre of real-time strategy games that prioritize fast-paced action and intense combat scenarios. Action RTS games typically combine the strategic elements of traditional RTS games with a greater emphasis on immediate decision-making, fast reflexes, and real-time battles.

In an Action RTS game, players control units, manage resources, and build bases like in a traditional RTS game. However, the gameplay is more focused on direct control and engagement in battles rather than meticulous base building or resource management.

Some key features of Action RTS games include:

• Frenetic Combat Action RTS games feature explosive battles with multiple units engaging in real-time combat. The gameplay requires quick thinking, micromanagement of units, and the ability to make split-second decisions.
• Hero Units These games often have hero or special units with unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle. These heroes add an extra layer of strategy as players must consider their positioning and skill usage to gain an advantage.
• Minimum Base Building While base building is still present in Action RTS games, it is usually streamlined compared to traditional RTS titles. Players focus more on unit production, upgrades, and controlling key strategic points rather than constructing complex bases or managing numerous buildings.
• Diverse Unit Types Actions RTS tend to offer a wide variety of unit types with different strengths, weaknesses or abilities that require careful selection for optimal strategies. This allows players to adapt their tactics based on the situation at hand.

Examples of popular Action RTS titles include:

• StarCraft II The StarCraft II series by Blizzard Entertainment is a prime example of the Action RTS genre. It features fast-paced combat, hero units called "heroes," and intense battles between different factions in a futuristic sci-fi setting.
• Warcraft III Another classic example developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Warcraft III , introduces hero units and provides a blend of strategy and action gameplay. It combines base building with heroes' unique abilities to create dynamic battle scenarios.
• Dawn of War The Dawn of War series by Relic Entertainment mixes real-time strategy elements with intense combat in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The games feature diverse unit types, hero units known as "Champions," and large-scale battles that demand constant attention to tactics.
• Ashes of Singularity: EscalationThe game challenges players with massive battles in a futuristic world where they must control armies spread across multiple planets while also managing resources and technology.

  Action RTS games provide an adrenaline-fueled experience for players who enjoy the strategic depth of RTS games but crave more immediate action and combat-oriented gameplay.
