FLARE vs The Battle for Wesnoth
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FLARE
Flare (Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) is a simple game engine built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre. Android version of Flare requires manual installation of engine data files.

The Battle for Wesnoth
(Note: This is an alpha release of the 1.19 in-development branch, and works best on a Tablet with large screen space. Consider reaching out to us or file a bug report if you encounter an issue.) The Battle for Wesnoth is an open source, turn-based strategy game with a high fantasy theme. It features both singleplayer and online/hotseat multiplayer combat. Explore the world of Wesnoth and take part in its many adventures! Embark on a desperate quest to reclaim your rightful throne... Flee the Lich Lords to a new home across the sea... Delve into the darkest depths of the earth to craft a jewel of fire itself... Defend your kingdom against the ravaging hordes of a foul necromancer... Or lead a straggly band of survivors across the blazing sands to confront an unseen evil.
