OpenRA is a project that recreates and modernizes the classic Command & Conquer real time strategy games. We have developed a flexible open source game engine (the OpenRA engine) that provides a common platform for rebuilding and reimagining classic 2D and 2.5D RTS games (the OpenRA mods).

这意味着OpenRA不受原始封闭式游戏的技术限制的限制：它包括对现代操作系统和屏幕分辨率的本机支持（包括Windows 10，MacOS和大多数Linux发行版），而无需依赖仿真或二进制黑客，并具有整合的在线乘数。
