@@Nisenziart I think they wanted to iron out the general gameplay prior to realising a steam release. Sadly they did not provide a time frame but you could download and install it outside steam and then add it as a 3rd party game to steam...might not bring the features but shows your friends that you are playing BAR.
I love the fact that it has a ton of commands to make micro much easier, unlike Starcraft, that deliberately forces you to micro. For instance, you can zoom out or in to any preference, so you don't have to keep jumping around to get the whole battle scene. You can draw an arc with your mouse to make your units form an arc, rather than selecting their positions one by one. Defensive structures are actually worth their cost.
man i wish this trailer covered way more of the control stuff. Fight/Target/Attack commands, auto groups, selection splitting, self destruct, etc etc etc. Its not only easier to use your units, but you have a more expansive toolkit.
@@KillahMate I had to look that up and you are right. You even have to micro larva injects in SC2. The code is already there (I have made SC2 mods) for turning auto casting off and on, but it is disabled in the game just to force more micro.
Out of all the AAA RTS titles I've played over the course of my life, this one is hands down my favorite. You have a loyal fan in me. I can't get enough of it!
@@Malus1531 There is no micro transactions and the game is supported by donations and contributions. The game is open-source which basically means its free as in freedom. The game as well as its components are provided free to use and or modify(excluding cheating)
@@ariansanzo6393 give it a try, free and isn't too terribly big to download either. if you ever played the old Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance or Planetary Annihilation, it's a lot like those games
I wish I had the wrinkly brainmeat needed to learn a new RTS. Last time I tried to play this I was so lost, since I've never played a TA-style RTS before. 😄 Congrats to everybody that's put so much hard work into the game, the effort and passion clearly shows.
@@Corusame i'd say it is. it plays very similar to Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. with the major difference being that you can infinitely scale your economy of Metal and Energy.
This game is amazing and the trailer is epic. I think you should have showed off the fact that elevation matters and dynamic maps like the one where lava rises and lowers, things like that and superior controls pulled me to the game for sure
@@Corusame Dude it's... So good. I don't really play competitive games at all anymore, but I still got sucked into BAR and played roughly 100 hours over the course of 2 months. It's grand.
I've been playing BAR for the past week and I just wanted to say the control implementation is genuinely brilliant. I agree with Uthermal, this is the best RTS since SC2. Looking forward to future development!
The most amazing and epic RTS that I have played in a long time! Thank you for keeping the spirt of Supreme Commander alive! I can't wait for the Steam release!! I have already logged several hours in the game. And not only that, I love the 200 plus maps! Wow! Keep it up BAR!
@@willo90li There is noob lobbys and you can also make your own lobby with your own rules if you want ! I don't know about the discord tho but it should be beginner friendly there is also great videos that can help you learn the basics of the game :)

43 here. In BAR played regularly with a 60+ year old player, so yeah, the 'first' gaming generation (i.e ppl growing up with the first mass available pc's and consoles in the 80's) is getting older but keeps gaming ;p
This is without a doubt the best RTS game out there. And the most amazing thing about it is completely free. Congratulations to the developers for the excellent work and love they put into this game. I'm eagerly awaiting the release on Steam🎉🎉
Absolute gem of a game, with what felt like an RTS game drought was lifted by this game when my friend told me about it. I can't wait to see this game rise to popularity in the future, and I'm grateful to have been here from the start.
Outstanding!! I haven't played bar in over 1.5 years. I discovered total annihilation escalation. The sheer unit variety is ridiculous. Looks like i'm going to have to jump back in to bar. The best rts games are ta inspired. Thank you!!
This is the best RTS game of all time and you can play it for free! Imagine that. Fully playable now, epic multiplayer experience 8v8s, smooth gameplay, great mechanics and customizable UI. What is there not to like? I invite any gamer to give it a try, spectate ongoing games or try out skirmish mode vs AI.
small feedback the "control your army with ease" bit should have been by the middle of the trailer after you get the watcher hooked with the funny explosions and combat, that's when they're interested in how the game plays. Not when they are first hearing about the game.
Good point! Though we think that controls in an RTS are really important and we believe that this is one of the main pillars of BAR. But yes, getting and keeping the viewers is important as well, so we will take this feedback to heart for the next one!
@@BeyondAllReason for further clarification of my point, when players are looking at a game for the very first time with no prior knowledge of the game they first care about how the game looks before they begin to consider how the game plays whether subconsciously or if game aesthetics matter to them more than gameplay, in both cases the first impression is always how the game looks, so show your best clips first to catch their interest then demonstrate gameplay and not the other way around
Love this game, been playing rts games since 2000 woth aoe 2 and 7 kindoms 2 (slept on) and ive played this since it was available. Played in a tournament as well although i got clapped by Raghna (great player maybe the best) it was still super enjoyable. Community is pretty chill as well.
I played many rts in my time and got to say this game has been one of my favorites. I love the different factions and the tech system in this game. I have been playing it for months now and still enjoy playing it. Even able to find games at any time during the day even at 4 am xD
never played total annihilation or a lot of older RTS, (except AOE2) but this game got me to learn how to play RTS as a genre the hard way, and it was very rewarding and easy with the large team-base game modes.
I've been enjoying this game for a few months now. As someone who has both the original TA (from back when it first came out) and Supreme Commander, this game gets the thumbs up!
Very enjoyable game, can recommend. just have patience with lobbys, sometimes it takes a bit of time for all 16 people to get their shit together to play. :)
I grew up with Planetary Annihilation and I am LOVING this game!!! (even if the AI punches me in my teeth in every now and again) I cant wait to see the epic battles the community does. i also hope more youtubers catch wind of this gem of a game.
BAR puts the Strategy in RTS with easy unit controls and automated factory production letting you execute your master plan without breaking your brain in half.
Thank you all so much for keeping the spirit of Total Annihilation alive!
if only we had a TA2 dude.. I still play TA :) 25 years now
Me and my brothers still talk about Total Annihilation, one of the greatest games of all time, some of my best memories. Thank you!
@@NatureProTV BAR is TA2 ;)
@@duncanh3721 same here:))
@@R4ZORLIGHT Not really, but close enough and much much appreciated!
Wait... you telling me that this game existed before?....
*HAVE I BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK THIS ENTIRE TIME????*
You may feel like it, and that is ok.
:3
I just found out it existed today!
It would explode on steam release.
Imagine just searched TH-cam for total annihilation bc I miss it and found out that it still exists... Along with others that are successors
I hope so@@RegameII
I already threw 100+ hours into this game ! A Steam release would be very healthy for the player base ❤!
Imagine modding…🔥
Once this gets on steam the player base will explode.
@@TheWorldWarrior thats what i thought this trailer meant, a steam release....since it was free already all this time, is there a plan for steam ?

Just leave it as it is

Beautifully done, guys! BAR is the most fun I've had in RTS in a decade EASILY
Absolutely!
You should try Zero-K. Older than BAR, but much better. Terraformable terrain, smart unit AI, more unit variety...
@@silentai3826 and, btw, they are on the same engine
@@silentai3826 Similar engine same stuff, just older. Even the user interface is almost full identical.....
@@silentai3826 Thanks for the tip, it looks a bit too dated for me graphically but above all I want to continue supporting BAR in any way I can :)

You can even fly your buildings around

Hahaha... your comment is spot on. For some reason people love those two maps.
@@sarmadka Easy to learn and get started tho!
Also... Its like Nuketown in Bo2! ^^
the only two that matter
pretty much
Out of all the AAA RTS titles I've played over the course of my life, this one is hands down my favorite. You have a loyal fan in me. I can't get enough of it!
This is a FREE game, y'all. Best free one I've ever played. Best online RTS I've played since the Total Annihilation/Forged Alliance days, too.
So are there microtransactions? How is it paid for?
@@Malus1531
There is no micro transactions and the game is supported by donations and contributions. The game is open-source which basically means its free as in freedom. The game as well as its components are provided free to use and or modify(excluding cheating)
@@Malus1531 No. It's fully developed. You can support the servers with donations if you want.
@@Malus1531 There are no microtransactions, but there are lot of micromanagment though..
if it wasn't free they'd be charging money for a direct copy of TA
2 months in with 250 hours plus already! BAR is by far the best RTS game on the market!
No, it ins't. Thats aoe 4.
Pd: I'm just kidding, I havent played the game yet.
@@ariansanzo6393 give it a try, free and isn't too terribly big to download either. if you ever played the old Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance or Planetary Annihilation, it's a lot like those games
Holy based, now all we need is a Steam release!
And 16v16 on larger maps!
Not having it on Steam is Beyond All Reason.
That's what I'm waiting for too
And lots of griefers?
Need better matchmaking

It's funny seeing an ad for a game I know in depth. Loved the nuke spam clip in there lol.
One of the best RTS games I have played till now
Over 1000 Hours, and can never get enough of this game! Years of blood, sweat and development and it continues to grow! Keep up the great work!
make it 10000! :)
I might be a newer BAR player, only playing for a year and a half or so, but compared to every other RTS game I’ve played, BAR is simply unmatched.
How is the flow of gameplay, is it well balanced?
@@Corusame i'd say it is. it plays very similar to Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. with the major difference being that you can infinitely scale your economy of Metal and Energy.
Would you said that it sets the bar? 😁
An absolute masterpiece of a game. It truly is Beyond All Reason.
I've never been a big RTS player, but this has got me hooked.
This game is amazing and the trailer is epic. I think you should have showed off the fact that elevation matters and dynamic maps like the one where lava rises and lowers, things like that and superior controls pulled me to the game for sure
That's a good point! Lava rising level will be in next trailer hopefully!
