Beyond All Reason is an in-development free and open source RTS, based on the SpringRTS game engine and their latest update showcases just how great it looks.
Gave it a try a few weeks ago and I agree - it's definitely a contender for one of the best open source games ever. Just so good, feels very polished, just fun to play. Not a competitive player so can't comment on that, but it felt exactly like the classic RTS experience should do in the 2020s. Think I saw a Flatpak update get applied the other day so maybe I'll have to check out the new graphics!
Yes it's very familiar! I think Total Annihilation came out in a time period when I was really into something else (don't remember what!) so I didn't get too into it - but Supreme Commander was very similar and this is obviously a spiritual successor to both!
damn what a blast from the past! I remember sinking hundreds of hours in TA, and even got the fantasy themed iteration (TA: Kingdoms was it called?). Those years were peak early PC gaming days for me.
