The resurgence of real-time strategy games and the revitalization of the real-time tactics genre leaves fans not lacking for choice at the moment, but if you’re keen to delve into a handful of (slightly) older titles, the Humblecraft: RTS Rush bundle lets us grab ten classics and awesome underdogs for cheap.
The first three Commandos games and the original’s Beyond the Call of Duty expansion promise a blast from the past, giving us control over a squad of specialized agents that must use their skills, patience, and wit to sabotage the Nazi war machine while facing overwhelming odds.

Equally nostalgic, albeit while boasting a fresh coat of paint, Stronghold: Definitive Edition reintroduces us to a real-time strategy game that emphasizes building sprawling castles while defending them from enemy sieges and using them as bases to stage our own assaults.
Sporting refreshed visuals, it includes everything in the original game as well as a brand new 14-mission campaign designed by Firefly Studios founders Simon Bradbury and Eric Ouellette.
Hailing from the indie scene, Tooth and Tail is a bit of a different experience, emphasizing short matches and developed with controller support in mind. Although it might lack the depth of its peers, its pixelated battles that pit animals with revolutionary tendencies against each others prove quite intense, keeping us on our toes.
Here is the full list of games you can get for cheap in the Humblecraft: RTS Rush bundle.
- Dust Fleet
- Men of War: Assault Squad 2
- AI War 2
- Stronghold: Definitive Edition
- From the Depths
- Tooth and Tail
- Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
- Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty
- Commandos 2: Men of Courage
- Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
- 10% discount coupon for Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition in the Humble Store
The Humblecraft: RTS Rush bundle is available for the next two weeks and only features one purchasable tier. Priced at around $10/€8.52/£7.34, it includes all of the items listed above.
With a new Commandos game having released earlier this year and Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition set to launch in only a few days, revisiting the older entries in the series alongside a handful of indie gems should be enough to fulfill anyone’s craving for real-time strategy and tactics games, at least for a while.
