I find it fascinating that there is a universal design language for cheap p2w mobile games that makes me loose interest in the game within five seconds. Somehow this design must be appealing to at least some audiences or else these studios would do something different, right?
I guess it must be. Catchy and addictive somehow, or as you said, it wouldn't be profitable or popular. It's such a shame though, because you can't go two steps in the app store/google play without encounter these kinds of games. Anything that looks remotely like this I just immediately bypass. Same with MMO kingdom builders. They all have the exact same formula (maybe different visuals or story) and I can't stand those either. The "puzzle" ones that have their ads everywhere. I avoid those like the plague as well.
The art doesn’t have to be appealing it just has to be inoffensive enough to general audiences and also simple enough for the company to be able to pump out as many reskins of the same game that they can
@@QueenMonny never actually seen any of the puzzle ones actually be puzzles they are some other game and the puzzle game is based on that games universe
21:00 when I heard you say “I’ve got to remember these aren’t people” I immediately thought the next line was going to be “these are Scotsmen”. I was ready to rally the irn bru brothers to invade your country
my final day of asking matt to play minecraft (Edit) matt if your reading this then pls play minecraft or just say in your next vid that you will not play anymore. There are a lot of poeple that want you to play minecraft. I watch almost all of your Videos just so i can ask. Im a loyal viewer and i would be vary happy if you played it even for just one more Minute. (Yes i know that he has played it before) Sorry if i made some typos im not that good at english
This might be a hot take, but I feel like I used to come to this channel for RCE and the content. Now it's just down to RCE for most of these videos because honestly all these reskinned and p2w mobile games are getting kinda old. Love your work Matt, but your other content is much more entertaining and way more engaging than these cheap p2w mobile scam games.
Did you watch schim or the farmer was replaced? Plenty of interesting games but take a look at views recently, most of my audience enjoy the games you don't the most- and I enjoy variety so I think we have a good balance, sorry if you disagree!
90% agree with you but I do come to his channel MOSTLY for his personality and voice. As long as the game's mildly interesting then it's a good time. I love the engineering ones most.
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Oh no, I love you and your content, it's just the type of games. I'm not bashing you at all! You're one of my favorite TH-cam CCs and i've been following you for a long time. And it's entirely fine if others enjoy the content, i'm not against them either, I just wished to share how I felt, that's all. I still watch your content regardless of what it is because I enjoy your personality and you can make even boring seeming games fun. I appreciate the work and effort going in to making all of it, I just wanted to say how much I prefer the other content. But as I said, it's a hot take, as i'm not a fan of those type of mobile games. I'm just here for the discussion, i'm not here to attack anyone or what they enjoy. :) Hope that clears some things up!
@@jacobp.2024 Exactly! That's why i'm still here. I really do not enjoy these type of games but I still support the channel by voting, watching and commenting. I just prefer the other content much more than this, but i'll always support RCE.
It worked for GSP and DF, I wish it'll work for RCE as well. Like I'm doing for them, I'll just check every once in a while to get a cheap laugh while unsubscribed as to avoid the flooding.
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Hey! you might have seen some videos about it but i think you should play The Enjineer, You can actually make basicly anything and im rn trying to build an elevator, its an medieval type of building game where you can do a LOT of things, plus there are physics so you can test stuff out if its safe or not. i hope you make a video because its REALLY FUN!!
Never been this early before, well I've got nothing to say other than the fact that you got me addicted to TH-cam now. Been through a tough time lately and I know youtubers get these kind of comments all the time but your videos really help a lot. So all I can say it's thanks matt.
If you didn't know, this game is actually a replica of a mobile game called WeAreWarriors. It's very similar except the units are actual soldiers instead of tanks.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same company, lol. I also wouldn't be surprised if both this game and the one you mention (don't wanna feed the algorithm with its name) are ripoffs of another game. Ripoffs of ripoffs have become concerningly common recently.
I think your first pull should always been the ranged guy, but spawn him as close to melee as possible, he'll throw a ranged attack and stop, and your melee will pass them before they get in range.
This is quite similar to a game called Age of War 2 that I played in elementary school. Though similar, I believe age of war 2 had a few differences that make it a much better, more refined, and competitive game.
Videos only been up a few minutes and most of the comment section is "day whoCares of asking for DumbGame" and "first!" Posts. I'm not sure why I even look
I imagine the first type must be incredibly irritating to Matt, but he doesn't say anything. Maybe he does listen to them and stores their suggestions in the back of his mind for when he can't think of anything else to make a video of. I know it certainly irritates me though, but what can you do.
I’d say day one of suggesting Matt replay through his games and make the 2nd 3rd or so episodes that a lot never gotten. Personally having watched his channel for 2 years now. I no that there’s a decent amount of games I was hoping to see him finish or least unlock the end game items
Well now that I’ve seen the whole video for today. How it ended is Exactly my point in how Matt mentioned wanting to play the Dino ago and see more progression in the ages of this game. There are so many more that ended the same. Far as the gold pick axe from yesterday I’m content with that game being done although it wasn’t fully finished lol.
The viewers usually decide which games get extra episodes, if episode 1 doesn't perform well then there won't be more, but it's also down to whether a good thumbnail can be made too as episode 1 can just show what the game is but episode 2 has to be much more unique to get people to continue watching the game.
Gameplay in this seems to be to use the spears to do most of the damage. But spearmen go down in one hit. So put a few melee units up in front to absorb enemy weapons. They'll space themselves out automatically, spearmen know to hang back and fight from range. That's basically the game. Then the elite units, use 'em now and then, can't really think of a rule for that. They're just tougher melee units. But it's the spearmen who do most of the damage, given a chance, and not forced into actual melee where they'll just die. On my system, the ads don't load, so if it's the same for anyone else, go mad with them! Double money for nothing. You still get the extra coins, and an apology it couldn't advertise at you.
Its really weird seeing flash games become "real" games. Especially when the person who made the flash game isnt likely to have made these versions of the game. Just someone came along and took the idea. Like how Vampire Survivors took the idea from Magic Survival. Now they are known as Vampire Survivor games. But at least in that case the devs gave credit.
They Should really change *base health* to *base UNIT health* so people understand what it is. I feel like most people think it just upgrades their bases health
His editors would have to know that. But I don't think any of them are British, and the pronunciation of Renaissance wouldn't be a word they'd hear a British person say very often, probably. Plus Matt does say a lot of words differently than normal, irrespective of accent. But I don't know if that's because he's unfamiliar with the word, or does it on purpose in an attempt to be funny.
The fact that the tanks in this game besides the final modern tank is awkwardly weird, using human weaponry instead of their intended weapons such as a cannon
i've learned a tactic save up at the previous battles then get high food production and all troops then go to current battle and spam the best troops it got me through timeline 1 in a exactly exactly the same except the other is the original and i only did that one so far
This game is a spin on the "age of war" formula, so that might be why it's only tanks - to separate itsrlf from the original game. Also it might have been a better idea to get big tanks before ranged ones simply because the weaker tanks get destroyed by the enemy troops too quick to protect ranged troops
Only time asking to keep Not playing Minecraft, even though I like it. Your content is so refreshing. If I wanted to see even more Mc, I would literally watch any other channel
I've seen another video about this game and that guy spend a lot of crystals/gems (I assume he watched a lot of videos) and that made his tanks even more overpowered. But the dinosaur age would be interesting for sure.
Wait, what? Did RCE just say that it makes no sense that tanks made of a fairly durable material like stone defeated tanks made from wood? The first axes were made from stone.
There's a mobile game with the EXACT gameplay called We Are Warriors!. Probably better than tanks but the fact that this game (Age of Tanks) was released way earlier than We Are Warriors! just... hmmmmm
In every scenario where both, your and enemies guys were taken with 1 shot, if you just slightly upgraded health of your guys you would technically be making their health 2x larger in all those scenarios. Upgrading hp is not that pointless ;)
Smart using tanks, really saves on having to deal with animations
And probably copy rights as well.
Theres a version of this game which is pretty much identical but its just troops and not tanks
We are warriors
played that one too xD
Hahahahaha I'm playing "We are warriors" too. I really like it!
And oh my! This game is REALLY IDENTICAL!!!
And then age of war (rip flash)
I know lol it’s just a reskinned game 😭

RCE don't need no stinkin Base Health
Damn straight
Saving a few thousand on food production by sinking a few hundred into base health is way too sensible for RCE.
He doesn't need to 100x his troop health when he can spend 10mil on 0.03s food production.

Isn't this just a reskin of Age of War?
I was thinking the same thing
That's yes
@@Thats_to_bad same
Except they didn't bother adding defence canons or special abilities. Which makes this just worse.
18:08 is my favorite part of the vid lol
Love that RCE used the proper name Scythe rather than a sickle like many mistakenly call it ❤❤❤

golden rule in all of these games, (16:00) never use the premium sstuff early in the game

I was not ready for 19:34 😂😂
please continue playing this! looks fun
Me: Was it all tanks? Matt: Always has been
I can't believe they monetised my childhood (Age of War)
The fact that a game specifically about tanks skipped straight over both world wars and went right from renaissance to 1950s is a crime.
21:03 When when he said : "I keep forgetting these aren't people", I thought he was going to say these ares Scotsmen.
I find shameful that in Renaissance tanks there isn't Leonardo da Vinci's tank prototype.
I enjoy playing this game it has no forced ads only when you click an add to get something is when you have to watch one very fun
i want more of this game

You should always raise your base health even just once so you beat any one on one combat. 😊
20:57 Matt, thats not a tank, thats a *T O N K*
I love that you went through the pain to play this game without upgrading their health like...at all.
This is oddly enthralling
19:37 “ *bleep* it. Swamp ‘em!”
I love how much of a smartass your editor is
Matt’s architect is showing😱 upgrading health to make each purchase more worthwhile makes so much more sense!! More bang for your buck!!!😂
Just watched 2 min of the video and realized hes going for sovjet doctrines
This reminds me of that Age Of War game from 2009.
There’s so many variants of these types of games - I’ve played 2 different ones but they’ve always used humans rather than tanks
This reminds me of an old flash game. You started out as cavemen and went all the way up to modern military.
Your strategy makes me want to SCREAM!
gotta love your vids. oh, and the historical inaccuracy of free mobile games.
14:43 because it is more fun and different
I just watched GSP play this the difference is like the difference between the strongest shape and a triangle.
RCE actually has a strategy that not just adding nuclear power. GSP still has a funny strategy.
@@Snow_captainOG it's odd though eventually Rce ends up using Gsp strategy because he didn't invest in unit health.
I had very heavy déjà vu for about a solid min, then I remembered gray uploaded the game.
Gray played this so much better to be fair

Totally not the period known as the Middle Ages

Im so glad the editor said something about the way hes saying "Renéesance"
What, like all British people?
Yuh - this is the correct British English pronunciation and I think it's closer to the french pronunciation too
what, the correct way? Not the butchered colonial way?
No way Disney is not taking this down for copyright infringement... better play it soon Matt ^^

Age of war, but it's the mobile game era😂😂
The Wish version of Age of War.
Today is the day that is today, but also tomorrow and yesterday.
Just like a real scottsman, 0 Fs were given
I mean, I honestly would enjoy more of this. It's very silly, but in a way that's decidedly fun, imo.
I love how they publish like 20 games, just by changing graphics and keeping the whole rest the same. Smart. 🤣
Age of war is this, but better. And without ads. Please play it. Its a part of my childhood.
18:28 maybe because renaissance is french as there are a lot of french words used in english
