Available from official Arch/Manjaro repository:  
Installation:

```auto
yay -S openra

```

After installation, the menu contains the launchers needed to run games. Game files will be downloaded after the first launch.

Additionally, we can also [install optional files](https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content): the full motion video and music soundtrack.

Good old games 😉
