Why it stands out
MPE-RA is more than a WebAssembly experiment: it brings a compact Red Alert-style campaign, economy, units, buildings, and enemy bases into a browser build whose interface is drawn in Rust. The 100 hand-designed levels give the project unusual scope.
How it works
Protect your headquarters while destroying every enemy HQ. Harvesters carry ore to refineries for credits; the build menu creates infantry, tanks, factories, walls, and defenses; drag-select units and tap the map to move or set rally points.
What caught our attention
The browser version preserves familiar RTS verbs across desktop and touch screens. On-screen panning and build controls support phones, while campaign progression, distinct enemy styles, and completion-time scores provide structure beyond a single skirmish.
Who it may suit
A natural fit for Command & Conquer and OpenRA fans who want a substantial browser strategy game. It supports desktop, iPhone, and Android play, offers more than forty interface languages, and publishes its source under a noncommercial license.
