Calling Tempest Rising a spiritual successor to Command and Conquer would undersell just how fiercely this game wants to be a part of the Westwood dynasty. From the thinly veiled faction analogues to the thundering synth metal soundtrack, right down to the mission interludes where your faction's influence bleeds through the countries of Europe on the campaign map, Slipgate Ironworks' mimicry of Westwood's 1995 RTS is utterly brazen.
What is it? A self-appointed Command and Conquer successor with modern production values and a few mechanical tweaks.
