Red Alert: A Path Beyond is an exciting, free first person shooter based on Westwood's classic real time strategy, Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Control the characters, infantry, and vehicles from the classic and its expansions Counterstrike and The Aftermath in a unique flavor of base-oriented combat.

RA:APB has been featured by Game Informer, PC Gamer, Games for Windows, Let's Play, PC Zone (UK), eGames (GER), and has appeared on Electronic Art's very own CommandAndConquer.com; not to mention having a showing at the Leipzig Games Convention in 2006 and another shout-out segment in Battlecast Primetime. Recently, we were also listed in 1up.com's best free games of 2008... on top of being ModDB's 2nd Place Indie Game of the Year 2007, and making the Top 100 time after time!

It's 1946. Mankind has just gone through one of the most brutal wars it ever faced. While the rest of the world is still in shock and trying to find ways to prevent such an event from ever taking place again, a Jewish/German scientist of unmatched genius by the name of Albert Einstein, decides to act. With a device he was engineering for the US government (at a secret research center in Trinity, New Mexico-- the same site where he helped develop the most devastating weapons mankind has come to know), he travels back into time to kill the person who he sees as the root of all misery; Adolf Hitler. He catches up with Hitler in 1926, as Hitler is still a young - but already embittered - man and 'disposes' of him; without thinking through the consequences thoroughly enough, as time will soon tell.
It's now the 1950s. World War II never happened; at least, not yet. Germany remains a peace-loving country with close ties to other European nations, now finding themselves facing increasing tensions with Russia under Josef Stalin's lead... and all the while the Soviet Union grows in influence and military might. Attempting to live up to a glorious Marxist dream he has envisioned, Stalin mobilizes the forces of the USSR. His goal? The Soviet Union stretching from coast to coast after an epic communist revolution, with Russia reigning supreme. The nations of England, France, Germany, Greece, Turkey and many more form the Alliance that seeks to put an end to this madman's nightmare before he can see to its completion. The Great World War II has begun.
Players, joining the game at anytime during the gameplay, will usually be signing up to fight for either the Allied or Soviet forces. Currently in planning are also competitive-cooperative missions and unorthodox levels based around a specific set of RA:CS missions some of you may remember...
The Soviets rely on no-brainer brute force tactics, with the heaviest and hardest-hitting units on the battlefield. With an emphasis on putting as much fire on-target as possible, as quickly as possible, the Soviet arsenal includes many weapons with large areas of effect, and all their tanks include twinned barrels. While their navy is not neccessarily impressive, they can field massive squadrons of Hind helicopters.
The Allies require a bit more finesse to play. Taking advantage of the Soviet's slow advance with long ranged weaponry and agile combat units are only part of the plan. An array of uniquely-abled units like the Thief, Spy, and Mobile Gap Generator are able to play an important support role, and the Allies feature important field-repair infantry. Precise and powerful hits are key features of the combat-oriented units.
Command almost the entire roster of vehicles and infantry from Red Alert and its expansions, with new flair. Discover new unit combinations to make defeating your enemies a breeze. There is a near-complete roster of both combat and support vehicles for land, sea, and air, including:
Wage warfare on the Land, Sea or Air with units ranging from Mammoth Tanks and Helicopter Gunships to Destroyers and Missile Submarines.
Lay defensive AP and AT mines to protect your base while mobilized 155mm Artillery units and V2 Rocket Launchers engage in long-range bombardments.
Support your team as an Engineer, Technician, Medic and Mechanic or Infiltrate the enemy using Spies and Thieves to subtly (or overtly) harass their forces.
Engage in Infantry combat using an array of weapons from Pistols, Light Machine Guns and Assault Rifles to Combat Shotguns, Grenades and Sniper Rifles.
Employ Demolition Trucks, MAD Tanks and tactical Atom-Bomb strikes to obliterate targets.
Needless to say, we've been at this for a while to get to version Beta 1.3.1, and the unit balance is in constant revision. The map list is always being expanded, with over 20 primary maps for play, with an assortment of fan maps available for checking out. There is a game running nearly 24/7, and detailed statistical tracking is available with forum sig integration. We are dedicated to the constant revision and enhancement of this game, and have worked hard to make it what it now is, after a year-long break a while back.
We hope you like what we have to offer, and look forward to your constructive feedback at our forums at www.apathbeyond.com. It's a blast to play |
