RTS Game Recommendation for Xbox Live Arcade

ElJeffeElJeffe Registered User, ClubPA regular
My son, who is 7, loves the shit out of Clash of Clans. He has has expressed a desire to get a similar sort of game that he can play on our Xbox 360. XBLA would be ideal, but if there's a non-XBLA game out there, that'd work too, as long as it's on the cheaper end of the spectrum.

So: RTS game, resource management, troop generation, preferably fantasy themed (though other themes are not necessarily deal breakers), simple enough that a fairly savvy 7 year old can play it, nothing graphic or adult-oriented. Halo Wars might be okay, but I don't know how the learning curve is, and it's not fantasy. Maybe there's something better?

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.

    Just saw it and it got a 79 metascore on metacritic. Fits the fantasy and rts needs and I loved the game.

    There is also Red Alert 3 and the Supreme Commander games to consider even if they aren't straight fantasy.

    Only console one I played was Red Alert 3 but the controls did suck. I just wanted to play it so bad and didn't have a PC.
