Warzone 2100

About

Warzone 2100 drops you into the year 2100 after a global catastrophe wipes out most of humanity. A lone faction called The Project uses salvaged tech to rebuild, and you direct their efforts in this real-time strategy game. Focus is on artillery, radar, and counter-battery tactics more than typical RTS fare. Build bases, upgrade systems, and design custom vehicles to fit your playstyle. No traditional infantry exists, everything from construction to combat relies on machines. Progress through a massive research tree to unlock new units and abilities. The game’s story unfolds via scripted updates that break up long matches. What sets it apart is its deep tech system and vehicle customization. Every unit you deploy can be tailored with different weapons and armor. Frequent cinematic cutscenes refresh the narrative as you play. The single faction lacks the variety of rivals found in other RTS titles but offers intricate depth instead. Linux and Mac support added in later years broaden its reach. A cult favorite for players who prefer mechanical strategy over faction diversity.
