"real-time strategy game"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "real-time strategy game"?

A real-time strategy game, often called an RTS, is a type of video game where players control resources, build structures, and manage armies to defeat opponents in a live, ongoing environment rather than taking turns. This genre became popular in the 1990s with the release of early games that allowed players to compete against others or the computer in dynamic battles. Players must gather materials, develop technology, and plan strategies, all while reacting quickly to the actions of their enemies. Success depends on strategic thinking, resource management, and fast decision-making.
