As the guys told you everything you should know about RTS I'll explain you what genre is Resident Evil. Because you see the character from above (you see the whole body) and it seems like someone is watching you (unlike first person shooter when you are watching someone/something) Resident Evil is TPS or third person shooter. I hope I helped you. Happy myLotting!

For me I think resident evil maybe in the category of RTS. Why? for the word strategy how can you apply it in the game? How can you defeat an enemy if you don't come up with a STRATEGY? That is for my opinion only. Strategy games are not only by means of controlling large number of units, gold , resources and blah blah blah. I may or may not be correct.

Every person has different view for everything in his life. But we can only manage one person at a time. That is why we don't call it a RTS game!

RTS or Real Time Strategy is game that include micro management and controlling large unit ... micro management is about finding resources, assign workers, build some building .. for example is Age Of Empire series , Warcraft Series , Starcraft .. Resident evil is action/adventure game ... you just control one character without any level up.... Another genere is FPS , first person shooter .. in this genre you are controling one persons and view from hist point of view and you must shoot some target/enemy .. for example is counter strike , call of duty , battlefield .. there's another genre : RPG, role playing game .. in this kind of game, you control one or several character .. this character will adventure on his journey and he can level up , finding equipment , etc ... for example , final fantasy series, diablo series etc ...

Real time strategy is pretty much what it says on the tin, a game which is played in real time rather than turn-based (in which you get say 10 turns per 30 mins to attack other players) a real time strategy for example would be any of the command & conquer series, where you have to manage resources units base defense play offensive and defensive. a game where tactics and strategy are involved but constantly being played in real time, you attack the AI for example with a few tanks they retaliate and defend themselves its all real time and involves strategic thinking.
