Hi everyone,

I'd like to share a little passion project of mine: Command Astra, a free 3D real-time strategy game that runs right in your browser and is built first and foremost for phones and tablets.



Why I made it I've loved RTS games for many years, but I often only have my phone with me – on the train, on the couch, travelling. I wanted a "real" RTS that works well with touch controls, plays smoothly on a phone, and lets me play against friends or simply offline against the computer. I couldn't find one I liked, so I started building it myself.

To be clear: this is not meant to replace the RTS we all love here. It's a mobile way to get a quick game in with friends – or alone, offline – when you're away from your PC.

Completely free Everything in the game is free: no ads, no account, no in-app purchases, nothing locked behind a paywall. There is just one Ko-fi link in the menu – if you enjoy the game and want to support its development, a donation is very welcome, but it's entirely optional and doesn't unlock anything.



Three factions

Meridian – human colonists from a crashed ark ship. Infantry, vehicles, walkers and aircraft; bunkers, smoke, digging in, salvaging wrecks.
Quorum – humans of the future, merged with technology into a networked collective. Buildings are "printed" and grow by themselves; units get stronger when linked together and repair themselves.
Morva – an eerie spore/mould species that came with meteorites. They can only build on their mycelium network: cut it off and it withers, splash damage burns it, and it grows over corpses. Fast, swarming, slimy.
Gameplay

Classic base building and economy with two resources, tech upgrades and special abilities
6 maps (desert, jungle, overgrown colony city, ice world, volcano rift, the wreck of the colony ark), each in two sizes
Against the computer: 3 difficulties and different AI personalities, 1v1, 1v2, 2v2 and free-for-all
With friends: on the same Wi-Fi (connect via QR code, no server needed) or online via room code
Ranked online quick match with a Top 10 leaderboard
Story campaign "Lumenfall" in three acts
Works completely offline once installed; the game saves automatically


How to install it as an app (takes 10 seconds) Open

https://astra.lenserver.de and then:

iPhone / iPad (Safari): tap the Share button → "Add to Home Screen"
Android (Chrome): menu ⋮ → "Install app" (or "Add to Home screen")
Mac (Safari): File → "Add to Dock"
PC / Mac (Chrome or Edge): click the install icon in the address bar
It then starts full-screen like a normal app and also works without internet. You can of course just play it in the browser as well – mouse, trackpad and keyboard shortcuts are supported too.



It's still in active development, so I'd really appreciate any feedback – balance, controls, bugs, ideas. Just reply here.

Have fun, and GL HF!
