Beyond All Reason is a free and open source RTS that looks exactly how a modern Total Annihilation should.
I grew up playing Total Annihilation as a kid, so it’s great to be able to enjoy it like this as an adult, decades later. Supreme Commander also gave me a lot of fun gameplay, but this feels exactly like classic Total Annihilation. I haven’t been able to put it down.
10/10, I had to spread the word. These developers have created something beautiful (and that’s a compliment to the original developers also!). Enjoy!

I love it. I only wish someone made a mod to change the names of the units to their original equivalents.

Hooray for open source gaming! Definitely writing this one down.

The whole lighting engine was JUST updated, and it looks great and performs better than before.

I played this for maybe 10-20 hours before I stopped. My experience was mostly positive but ended up being frustrating. It felt at times the AI was "cheating" and getting units in impossible amounts of time. Maybe it was just a skill issue but I felt like I wasn't playing a fair game so why would I keep playing.
Multiplayer.... I played 2 games of multiplayer and both games I was abused by other players for not know how to play.
I did enjoy the game for awhile and it plays well and looks good. But as above I had my issues, so rate it a 6/10.

Have you tried this in multi-player?

I have. It works great. I’m excited to say it even handled a moment of network loss on my end gracefully.
