Beyond All Reason is a free, open-source real-time strategy (RTS) game built on the Recoil RTS engine, featuring large-scale battles with fully simulated projectiles, physics, and terrain deformation. This repository contains the main game code (Lua), which runs alongside the Chobby lobby client and launcher.

Use cases

• play a free open-source RTS game
• contribute to an open-source real-time strategy game's codebase
• develop custom units, factions, or balance changes for an RTS
• create and test mods for a Recoil engine game
• run a large-scale multiplayer RTS with simulated physics
• learn Lua game development in a real project

When to choose

• you want to play or contribute to a polished, actively developed open-source RTS
• you want to build mods or game content on the Recoil engine
• you want a large-scale RTS with thousands of units and multiplayer rating systems

When to avoid

• you need a game engine or framework to build your own game from scratch (use Recoil or another engine instead)
• you want a single-player-only or turn-based strategy experience
• you need a lightweight game that runs without a dedicated lobby/launcher
