[PC] Steam - Free: Warzone 2100 @ Steam

Moved to Forum: Original Link MOD: Free to play game.

Didn't see this one posted. Now free to own on steam.

About this game

In the late 21st century, the world's civilizations are wiped out by a series of nuclear strikes, seemingly caused by a massive malfunction of the new NASDA (North American Strategic Defense Agency) strategic defense system.

While most of the survivors form scavenger bands to survive, you are a member of a group named "The Project", that is more organised and seeks to rebuild civilization using pre-war technology.

Compared to other real-time strategy games, Warzone 2100 has a greater focus on artillery, radar, and counter-battery technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as game play progresses, a massive research tree, as well as a vehicle design system.

Features

  • Fully open source
  • Single player campaign with full FMV support
  • Single player skirmish modes
  • An extensive tech tree with over 400 different technologies
  • A vehicle design system

Notes:
To play multiplayer online port 2100 needs to be fowarded.
Please refer to your local router setting on how to do this.

  • Man I remember playing this game when I BOUGHT it years ago…

    It had 3d terrain I think… or was that "Dark Reign.." I'm too old :-(

    • Yep - 3D. Camera viewpoint was rotatable from memory.

      Dark Reign was faux 3D terrain from memory. It was the competitor to Total Annihilation at the time.

      • I just redownloaded total annihilation two days ago. All I can say is what a game still to this day. This was the golden era of RTS games

    • +1

      Holy crap i miss Dark Reign. The menu sounds are ingrained in my head!

  • it's been free for a while, but no one expected it to be free on steam.. great find OP. classic rts

    • great find OP

      Came up in the news feed on my phone!

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • "Warzone 2100 was originally developed as a commercial game by Pumpkin Studios and published in 1999, and was released as open source by them in 2004, for the community to continue working"

    wasnt this already open source? I could be wrong

    • It was - readily available for free for a while from what I saw (didn't look any further).

      Was not readily available for free on Steam, however. Now, it is!

  • Loved this game as a kid… Crafting 30 odd hovercraft/artillery units and then bombarding the crap out of the enemy on the other side of the map lol

  • it's good for people in self-isolate
