The Legend of Red Alert 2 is now playable in the browser

For longtime gamers, Red Alert 2, or Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, is a game that has been associated with youthful memories. Now, this game can be played right in the browser.

This real-time strategy game is the sequel to Command & Conquer 1. Published by Westworld Studio and released in 2000. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 has two sides, Soviet and Allied, both appeared previously in Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

Red Alert 2 was a commercial and critical success, receiving an 86% rating from GameRankings.

Chrono Chia is a fan-made project that aims to recreate Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 using web technology. The result is a game that runs on any modern web browser (yes, even on mobile!), without the need to install any additional plugins or apps. After creating an account, you can quickly create a match or enter a match created by someone else, it is observed that there are quite a few players online at the same time and matchmaking happens quite quickly.

The project initially started as an experiment and was intended to demonstrate that it is possible to create a fully working, cross-platform RTS (real-time strategy) game that runs in a web browser. Now, with a playable alpha version, the ultimate goal is to achieve performance parity with the original “Red Alert 2” engine.

The only mode you can play at the moment is Custom Match, where you’ll be playing against other players online. There are also some other limitations, such as some enhanced units and buildings not available in this build.
