A group of fans has been working on for over ten years Lambda Wars, a real-time strategy game set in the Half-life universe. Originally one Half-life 2 mod, and later a standalone beta, the thing is finished now, or anyway as finished as a game ever gets.

After the team began development in 2007, it announced the release of v1.0 on Sunday, pointing out how it “has evolved from a proof of concept into a full-fledged asymmetric RTS game with single player, co-op. and multiplayer game modes. “

The v1.0 release has added new units, buildings, bug fixes and rebuilds and is available free from Lambda Wars’ Steam page

I remember this a long time ago and digging while Nathan played the game in 2014 and wrote about it on the sitePerhaps the most interesting thing about it, as they say, is its “asymmetrical” nature. The rebels (people) are totally incapable of competing with the overwhelming military force of the Combine in one head-to-head encounter, and so the two factions play completely differently.
