What are some old or new Steam alternatives to StarCraft 1 & 2? - lemmus.org

I know you requested steam, but beyond all reason is legitimately good and free. Runs on all major OS’s, has a good user base and excellent development.

Beyondallreason.info I think

Wow, how did I not know about this?
It’s also good to mention that it’s an open source game and they do indeed plan to relicense and release it on Steam later.
Steam Release ★ Beyond All Reason RTS

Insight into the roadmap towards Steam for Beyond All Reason (BAR).

Tbf, I didn’t know about the steam release. But yeah it’s also open source.
Wow Thanks! They also have a appimage for my fedora bazzite <3
Yup, that’s awesome. The first time I played it, I was using a steam deck as a daily driver while waiting for a new laptop to ship. Grabbed the app image and it just worked!

If you wanted an open-source streaming-economy RTS, I’d very quickly recommend Zero-K.

I hadn’t even heard of BAR before, so I got something to try in the next few days.
