RA2YR:BruteForce, turning Yuri's Revenge into a Tower Defense!
Subject description: You will have nightmares with hordes of Brutes!
Aloha! mbnqpl, the leader of RA2YR:BruteForce, has posted what seems to be a demo version of of the mod. For those unaware, RA2YR:BruteForce is a modification for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge with Ares that transforms the game into a Tower Defense. Build infantry and walls to defend yourself from hordes of brutes, dinosaurs, and other Yuri creatures. If you need any advanced units, you need to hunt crates. Here is what we know about RA2YR:BruteForce:
Quote:
Using Einstein's time machine, you have escaped with your soldiers to an unspecified point in time from a world conquered by Yuri and his clones.
Unfortunately, Yuri has pursued you. Expand your base, train new soldiers, defend against an army of mind-controlled animals and clones, then destroy Yuri!
You only have access to basic units. To get better stuff, look for scattered supply packs that contain random buildings, units, and bonuses.
Brute Force is a mod that turns Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge into a kind of tower defense. You can play on any map, but the mod is designed for exclusive maps (with names ending in _PRO). Play solo, with allied AI, or with another player in co-op.
It takes the term Brute Force to another level. Here's the mod in action:
