Best Rated RTS Games Under $20

The best rated RTS games on Steam for games under $20. Scores are weighted by review volume, so small-sample flukes stay off the list.

By price

Our score adjusts Steam's raw rating for sample size. The fewer reviews a game has, the more its score gets pulled toward the site-wide average, so a tiny game can't fluke its way to #1.
