Crimson Front
A free real-time strategy game in the spirit of the 90s classics. Build a base, harvest Crimson Ore, raise an army and crush the enemy commander.
Classic skirmish, fast and readable
One faction, one resource, no fluff: Crimson Front is about the quick base-build-and-battle loop you remember, with chunky hand-crafted units that read at a glance.
Build your base
Deploy your MCV, power up and expand with refineries, barracks and factories.
Harvest Crimson Ore
Harvesters feed your war machine. Protect them — and raid the enemy's.
Raise an army
Rifle squads, missile troopers, scout buggies, battle tanks and rocket carriers.
Four AI levels
From Beginner to Expert. Fog of war, a minimap and adjustable game speed.
Map builder
Paint terrain, ore fields and start positions, validate, test — and share.
Community maps
Publish your maps with your commander name and play what others made.
