    I think any fan of the genre should check out

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/334920/ZeroK/

    Active development, amazing and customizable controls (seriously, is you’ve ever been frustrated fighting controls in an RTS, they’ve thought of solutions), and an extensive campaign that serves as a unit tutorial (not the most engaging story is my only regret).

      I keep hearing about ZeroK and Beyond All-Reason. What are the major differences between the two and how do these compare with Sup Com FAF, TA and such?

        Zero K is uglier but has a full campaign, more units, and is less micro intensive.

        BAR has better graphics and tiers of units ala classic TA (zero K is flatter), and more active multiplayer.

        They both have Total Annihilation as a distant ancestors.

      When it comes to controls, the number one thing I’m looking for is controller support, but I don’t see the tag there. I don’t suppose they’re supported and just not listed?
