About
OpenRA is an Open Source port of Westwoodâs Red Alert game engine, updated to use the hardware acceleration of modern video cards, high screen resolution and a modernized GUI. The result is a highly moddable RTS game engine which comes with support for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert and Dune 2000.
