Are strategy games where you command units a good fit for Roblox?

This is somewhat of a side project, and I find it interesting to work with. I was wondering, do you think there is a player base that would play a game like a medieval commander game?

I mean yeah definitely! Something like this hasent been seen on roblox before (I’ve personally never seen one), so making this would make your game unique and give it more of a chance to stand out! And the way you made everything, it’s so smooth and clean! I wonder what the purpose of this is gonna be for in the future? Fighting mobs, maybe? But yeah, I think you should go for it!

I would definitely try it out. I think you would find a niche of medieval fans. I wouldn’t expect an adopt me following though.

There will be probably a niche of people who enjoy these types of games since things like the Conquerors used to be popular. What you’ve got there looks quite interesting, and if executed well could be a really cool game in my opinion. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game outside of Roblox that has this style of gameplay, which could also be a bonus?

Anyway, you could probably make any type of game on Roblox so long as you make it interesting and accessible for players. I think since you’re trying out a new style of game it might be a good idea to do some test runs to see what issues come up before you go for the full release (since there might be things that younger kids find really difficult to understand that could be made simpler without breaking the game, for example).

I’d definitely play it if it’s similar to Mount & Blade’s combat system.

This looks really cool! :grin: I remember a while back I played a similar game. It definitely has an audience for it, albeit niche. Looking forward to seeing your game in the future!

As @EmeraldSlash The conquerors 3 was and still is a very popular game

Here is another example

I would definitely try it out, just don’t expect everyone to love these types of games.

This looks insanely cool and is something Roblox has needed for a long time.

I would recommend learning from the mistakes that Bot Commander made however, as that game has since died out due to major bugs and badly executed advertising.

Many GoT genre’s would pay good money for this system since they also lack tangible assets or battlefields that engage players.

This is vastly exciting, and if you have in-game rewards such as being able to hold forts, upgrade armor and what not similar to that Total War : Arena game you could be extremely successful.

Personally, I would invest lots of money into this, and even develop for it since medieval items are my niche. Good luck and good idea!
