For over a decade now, a group of fans have been working on The Lambda Wars, a real – time strategy game set in Half life universe. Initially a Half life 2 way and later a standalone beta version, the thing is now finished or as finished as a game.
After development began in 2007, the team announced the release of v1.0 on Sunday, highlighting how it “progressed from a proof of concept in an asymmetric RTS game complete with Singleplayer, Co-op and Multiplayer game modes”.
Version v1.0 has added new drives, buildings, bug fixes and remodels and is available free from Lambda Wars’ Steam page.
I remember playing that long some time ago and digging, while Nathan played the game in 2014 and wrote about it on the site. Perhaps the most interesting thing about him is, as they say, his “asymmetrical” nature. The rebels (people) are completely unable to compete with the overwhelming military power of the Combine in a direct encounter, so the two factions play completely differently.
