MODERATORS
 

I used up play a ton of Doom mods years ago and a lot of the TCs were fun but lacked substance beyond the surface. Some of the new ones are cool but overly complex. (The Sonic cart game has an hour long tutorial before you start). I was a big fan of Simon’s Destiny, the Castlevania mod for Doom.

Basically I’m looking to see suggestions for free games or total conversions that are worth playing. Before I go spending money onSteam releases, I wanna check out what I might have missed the last few years.

Beyond All Reason is an open source RTS similar to Total War. Here is their website.

BAR is awesome, but it's nothing like Total war, it's similar to Supreme commander or total annihilation.

Ah, I meant Total Annihilation. Sorry haven't played those two, just heard that total annihilation was very similar. I'll leave my descriptors alone next time.

I learnt about bar from lemmy and have been hooked for months. Such a fun game, it's Foss and has a great community.

Never heard of BAR before so thanks for this. Looks amazing and can't wait to try.
