What started out as a simple fusion of the Westwood original Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert games, the project evolved by incorporating a plethora of new units, gameplay mechanics, and additional features.
The game includes five main factions:
Each of which, having four unique sub-factions with their own units, powers and upgrades.
Drawing from the extensive C&C franchise, the game incorporates units, structures, powers, and upgrades recreated in the Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert art style.
A comprehensive campaign, currently encompassing 34 missions, unfolds a narrative detailing the interwoven universes and timelines.
The experience extends further with Skirmish AI difficulties ranging from Easy to Brutal, providing a challenge even for highly skilled players.
Over 450 maps are included, including many competitive maps used in the base RA mod of OpenRA.
Balancing for competitive play has been a major focus. 1v1 ladder servers are hosted, linked to player rankings and statistics, with the hope to build a competitive community moving forward.
About the Snap
This is a Snap package for OpenRA - Combined Arms, a modern remake of Command & Conquer games powered by the OpenRA engine.
This snap was created to provide a safer and more secure way to enjoy OpenRA - Combined Arms. By confining the game within a sandboxed environment, the snap limits its access to system resources, ensuring that it can run safely without interfering with your operating system or accessing sensitive data. This approach not only enhances security but also makes the game easier to install and run across different Linux distributions, leveraging the convenience of Snap's universal packaging format.
Install from Snap Store
stable:
sudo snap install openra-combined-arms
beta:
sudo snap install openra-combined-arms --beta
