List of Strategy Video Games (2024)

Strategy video games are a type of video game genre in which players must use their tactical, strategic, and critical thinking skills to achieve victory. In these games, players typically control an army, a civilization, or a group of characters and must manage resources, make decisions, and plan their actions to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies.

There are several subgenres within strategy games, including real-time strategy (RTS) games, turn-based strategy (TBS) games, and 4X games (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate). In RTS games, players must manage resources in real-time, build and command armies, and engage in battles against other players or AI-controlled enemies. In TBS games, players take turns making moves and decisions, usually in a slower-paced, more thoughtful gameplay experience. 4X games, on the other hand, emphasize the four key aspects of empire building: exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination.

Examples of popular strategy games include the Civilization series, the Total War series, the Starcraft series, and the XCOM series. These games often require careful planning, resource management, and a deep understanding of the game mechanics to succeed.
