Homeworld's signature 3D battles, where ships fly and maneuver in a vertical space, is an interesting feature in the game, which beats even the modern RTS games. Homeworld Desert of Kharak puts emphasis on strategic planning and tactical execution giving us better gameplay experience compared to some modern RTS games that are heavily depended on on micro-management.
