Why we are attractive for existing RTS fans
We strongly believe that we can be your new favourite RTS game. With the help of our friends from TaKeTV and the known StarCraft II professionals HeRoMaRinE (mousesports) and Harstem (Asterion), we developed A Year Of Rain for YOU!
Play in a team and try new strategies
We see a tendency towards team gameplay. While most other RTS games feature 1vs1 modes, we completely focus on 2vs2. With a second player, you unlock new ways to strategically outdo your opponents. Our game features are created and balanced to support team gameplay. A role selection at the beginning of a match allows both players to choose complementary roles to perform even better as a team - or play double support. It's up to you really. Besides an ingame chat, we offer a ping system with which you can communicate with your team partner, no matter if real player or AI, effectively.
Bring your friends - no matter if pro or not
Thanks to our onboarding features (see our latest DevBlog), new players learn quick and can support you in a match already after a few first matches. You also gain extra XP for playing with an unexperienced player in a team.
A great story in a brand new universe
Experience the epic story of A Year Of Rain in three campaigns with ten missions each. All missions are created for co-op mode but can be played singleplayer with an AI. The first campaign will be included upon Early Access release. The other campaigns follow later.
A lot of hotkey functionality ingame
We implemented a ton of different hotkey functionality ingame, inspired by all your favourite RTS games including but not limited to: Unit grouping, grouping buildings, hotkeys for hero selection and idle worker, saveable camera positions, skipping through unit types in current selection, different ways to add or remove units to selection and many more! Key bindings can be changed in the game options.
Still not convinced?
Then check out all the improved featured like: Replays, Ping System, AI, Ladder System, Hero Roles, specific upgrades, or our plans for new game modes such as Against All Odds: A new asymmetrical 2vs2 game mode where two heroes face two entire armies.
