RTS recommendation (lemmy.world)

What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam

I'd recommend Beyond All Reason. It's open-source and utilizes a realistic scifi theme. You essentially manage metal and energy to produce more units, to fight against other player's units. It's very easy to learn, and looks nice graphically. The only caveat I can think of is that it is not on Steam. Game Link: https://www.beyondallreason.info/

Looks interesting, do you use the AppImage or Flatpak install method?

I use Flapak to run Beyond All Reason. It does include its own updater, which makes it more portable.
