by

Is it amazing that we haven’t yet seen a strong game in the style of Command & Conquer, not even a true successor to this genre pioneer? Incredible, isn’t it? While EA continually cancels C&C projects and releases remasters and mobile adaptations, independent developers are tirelessly working to revive this real-time strategy (RTS) icon.

Fractured Alliance – a modern RTS with some strong classic vibes

Fractured Alliance – A New Real-Time Strategy Game

Description: Prepare to embark on an exciting journey with Fractured Alliance, a forthcoming RTS game that draws inspiration from classic games such as Command & Conquer, Red Alert, KKND, and Supreme Commander. This game is set in an alternate Cold War timeline, where you’ll encounter three distinct factions, each offering its own captivating campaign, units, and characters.

In Fractured Alliance, you’ll delve into hidden agendas, forge strategic alliances, or even betray them as every decision you make will reshape the battlefield. Your choices matter!

Tense Games, as the creators of Fractured Alliance, underline their commitment to ensuring this strategy game caters to both newcomers and seasoned RTS enthusiasts. To achieve this balance, they’re incorporating an autonomous faction that streamlines gameplay without compromising the ability for players to take control when desired. Here’s a glimpse into what Fractured Alliance offers:

To evoke a sense of nostalgia for gamers reminiscent of the year 2000 experience, we’re enhancing both the visuals and controls with modern technology. Simultaneously, we aim to preserve the unique atmosphere that made those classic games so endearing to us.

You’ll have the option to engage in multiplayer battles with your friends, reminiscent of the good old days. While there may be a straightforward ranking system introduced at some point, it won’t be the primary emphasis for now.

In this video, you’ll find an intense battle playtest showcasing excessive action, grandiose music, and the thrill of fortifying our base before stirring up mayhem. Although the launch date for Fractured Alliance is still to be announced, you can add it to your wishlist and stay updated on its progress through X.

Tense Games hasn’t embarked on its initial venture. Instead, they introduced Stellar Warfare in the year 2021. Although this game is currently in Early Access on Steam, it generally receives favorable feedback.
