About:
OpenRA is a real-time strategy game engine that revitalizes classic Westwood titles like Command & Conquer, Red Alert, and Dune 2000. It provides modern multiplayer networking, spectator modes, and extensive modding support while maintaining the original gameplay feel. The playtest version offers early access to the latest engine improvements and features under active development.
Key Features:
  • Modern multiplayer with spectator support and matchmaking
  • Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • Extensive modding API and community content support
  • Enhanced UI and quality-of-life improvements over original games
Use Cases:
  • Playing classic RTS games with modern online multiplayer
  • Creating custom mods and game modes using the open-source engine
  • Spectating competitive matches and community tournaments
Alternatives:
  • vanilla-cnc – Original executables require manual setup and lack modern networking
  • renegade-x – Focuses on FPS gameplay rather than traditional RTS mechanics
