Retro Generals is a classic de-make of the C&C Generals and ZeroHour Game in the Red Alert Engine. Bringing all you love about the game in a 2D voxel-based RTS game with retro pixel art graphics. Retro Generals is a collaboration between Dafool and Mircea of Rivia to bring the factions and feel of Generals Zero Hour to Yuri's Revenge. The aim is eventually to feature an entire custom set of Structures, Vehicles, and Infantry art.

Retro Generals Beta

ANK Studios is proud to present the open Beta of Retro Generals. This beta release is made available to Generals everywhere to lead their favorite faction to victory. Our goal here is to allow a large number of players to hop into battle to test and evaluate the mod so we can gain community input to ultimately create the best mod possible.

If you are a fan of C&C Generals, C&C in General, or RTS games, this is a great chance to check out an action packed mod set in the modern era.

The War is Never Over...


Continue the fight between the USA, China, and GLA featuring all of the classic units and structures from Generals and Zero Hour ‘Demastered’ for Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge. Utilizing Ares, Phobos, CnCnet, and Kratos, Retro Generals features cutting edge logic to bring certain units alive in YR that have not been possible until now. Play with the full roster of Zero Hour and specialized Generals. New Generals join the fray, including the US Drone (wait until you see the loading screen!) the GLA Marauder Generals, and over a dozen new units are available, including Predator Drones, HIMARS artillery, Krokodil Attack Helicopters, Scimitar Tanks, Leigong Tanks, Flamethrowers, and more.

Attention to Detail


The units and structures have been lovingly recreated for the YR engine with the goal of creating great art while capturing the ‘feel’ and nostalgia of the Generals originals. All infantry and faction structures (currently only USA and GLA) have been recreated in Blender and pre-rendered into the “SHP” format by DaFool. Vehicles have been handcrafted either from scratch of voxilizations of original Generals 3d models and finalized by hand by creators such as Midian, Yuri_Prime, Red Counterstrike, and Mircea. Other structures (currently China by MigEater and Civilian by Danielovich) are renders of the original Generals models. Over 2,000 animations have been added, from everything from directional deaths for infantry, new explosions, animations to make buildings feel more alive, to rag doll animations for infantry – sure to make the destruction beautiful. We also have recreated skirmish maps including Alpine Assault, Twilight Flame, Golden Oasis, Sand Serpent, and Lone Eagle by Morton.

What are You Waiting For?


Download the Retro Generals Beta today and get in the action! We are active on Discord and ModDB and would love to hear your feedback. We are constantly working on ‘RG’ and always looking to improve. Our next phase of development is to remake the Chinese structures, civilian tech structures, and recreate additional skirmish maps. See you on the battlefield General!
