1 – They Are Billions
It’s hard to argue with the choice of They Are Billions for the number one game of the 10 best real-time strategy games for turtling. They Are Billions was created for this exact reason, and all of the game’s mechanics are built around creating intricate layers of defenses and a lot of redundancy mechanics, because if a single zombie manages to slip into your town and infect a building, that sole zombie now turns to five zombies, and those five will infect five other buildings and spawn 25 zombies, and so on until you’ve been overrun and are now emptily staring at a game over screen. Fortunately, there are all kinds of defenses, from basic walls and towers managed by soldiers with shotguns, the Executor tower (a minigun), and a shocking tower (which is exactly what you’re imagining). If you’re on the lookout for a new game to play around with turtle tactics, you cannot go wrong with They Are Billions, and it’s my number one recommendation!
Conclusion.
I hope you have enjoyed this list, and I’m sure it also brought you a lot of memories! After this huge trip of the best 10 real-time strategy games for turtling, one thing is certain: no matter the setting, no matter the theme, if a game has walls, towers and defenses, from the modular building of Stronghold’s castles, to the nail-bitting zombie invasions of They Are Billions and the explosive action of Company of Heroes, the satisfying act of turtling is as alive today as it has ever been!
