In 2007, Alec Meer (RPS at peace) played a promising RTS mod for Half-life 2. “It’s really fun to see the familiar in such a different and well-considered format,” he said. “But it is very, very early, with a lot of work ahead.”
And it was a lot of work – 13 years of that. But over the weekend, Lambda Wars was finally released, inviting players to explore the world of Half-life 2 from a new perspective (i.e., a top-down strategy).
