Strategy games in video game history
Beyond turn-based and real-time, strategy gathers a large family: tower defense, artillery duels, real-time tactics and grand strategy. This cerebral genre, long king on PC, had to reinvent its controls for the gamepad, and found more accessible, playful forms on consoles.
Its representatives are varied: Pikmin 4 blends real-time strategy with squad management, Worms Armageddon turns tactics into a zany artillery duel, Plants vs. Zombies popularized tower defense and Kingdom Rush took it to rare refinement. Famicom Wars, Sid Meier's Pirates! and Romance of the Three Kingdoms complete a teeming genre.
For collectors, strategy hides rarities, especially the great Japanese simulations (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, historical warfare) that often stayed in Japan. On RomWize, every strategy game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region; the 'by console' section above helps you explore the best, machine by machine.
