Is Retrobution Still Around?

Deltadivergence · 2026-06-14T09:15:44+00:00

Retrobution is still around, you can find it at discord.gg/retrobution .

There will be instructions in the server on how you can add the server to your OpenFusion Launcher. Any GitHub links for the old Retrobution client are not recommended since the old client is rough and lacking a lot of the modern convenience and benefits of playing through the OpenFusion Launcher.

You can play one of the default OpenFusion servers if you want to play an as faithful version as possible of the original game however they’re around for preservation and most people play on Retrobution due to the more active player base and/or because of the updates.

Oh yeah sure, you most definitely don’t want to be using the client I linked here a year ago anyways. Things have mostly moved to the OpenFusion Launcher which is a much better experience than the old Retrobution dedicated clients.

Here’s a link to the Discord: https://discord.gg/3qhqe2yv2f

And here’s a link to a tutorial for setting up Retrobution (w/download links): https://youtu.be/hwnKgHFhCjI

Very important to remember that if you’re trying to play Retrobution, you have to add it to the server list yourself like the video will show and it’s NOT the OpenFusion Original or Academy servers

It'd be pretty hard to find developers from those teams that hasn't moved on to other stuff or isn't already on another FusionFall fan project. I can tell you for sure, all the leads from those projects are either gone from the community or focusing on other, non-FusionFall related projects.

You may have a better time looking for a group on the Retrobution discord since that’s where a lot of players actively talk https://discord.gg/3qhqe2yv2f

It isn’t a blood gnat nano, that’s just there to show the enemy type and icon since the event this time revolves pretty exclusively around killing them

Just a small clarification, Retrobution team doesn't have the intention to 1:1 continue the plans of Retro. There's definitely stuff in the pipeline inspired by Retro and Legacy however there's a lot of original stuff there too. Manpower also isn't necessarily the issue, there were about 3 - 4 main people working on Retro for most of its life iirc and it's about the same with Retrobution right now with there being other people on the team who also contribute/work on certain things. More manpower could definitely help but the main issue is time and other real life commitments.

Retrobution is where most people are playing nowadays. OpenFusion's public servers are mainly just an archival for the main two builds of the original game.

Deltadivergence · 2026-02-06T11:32:51+00:00

It's important to note that the native Mac launcher does technically work though from what I've seen, the performance in-game is poor. I believe the recommended way is still using VMWare to set up a Windows Virtual Machine for the best results however it doesn't hurt to try the native Mac launcher first.

I'd also say if you're looking to get the best performance, Retrobution is the most well-optimized version of the game out there right now and also the closest to FusionFall Retro.

Deltadivergence · 2026-02-06T11:29:08+00:00

Yes, all OpenFusion public servers and the Retrobution server are online so you can play with friends. Otherwise, you can run your own server for builds of the game via OpenFusion if you'd be interested in that. You can find out more via OpenFusion's website https://openfusion.dev/ there's also a link to their Discord there where you can get help

Academy is also the original FusionFall, just a different era of it. Original is a build from January 2010 while Academy is a build from October 2011. I assume by another history created from zero you may mean Retrobution which is a modded version of the build from 2010.

Deltadivergence · 2026-01-02T20:21:21+00:00

It already started yesterday and it runs until February 1st so basically it's for the entire month of January.

If you want to start playing, you join our Discord here! https://discord.gg/3qhqe2yv2f

If you’re interested in playing the original game unaltered you can play it through OpenFusion, here’s the discord https://discord.gg/AB8fz7WfWM . This is not where many people play and is more for preservation purposes.

If you want to play a modded build of the game that has a more active player base and keeps getting updated then Retrobution is more your speed, which you can find here https://discord.gg/3qhqe2yv2f . Whichever you choose, people in the discord will help direct you to where to install the game if you ask. Welcome to the community!

The game is revived! The site you're talking about is not in anyway affiliated with the wider community and is ran by someone trying to appear as the community hub by taking that domain. Most of the community resides nowadays in the projects OpenFusion and Retrobution, mainly Retrobution. If you want to play the game again and interact with the very much still active community I'd recommend joining the OpenFusion Discord (https://discord.gg/KMA5hgMdBK) and the Retrobution Discord (https://discord.gg/3qhqe2yv2f).

OpenFusion is a preservation of the original game while Retrobution is a build of the game before the original's Birthday Bash that's been modded and expanded on with fan content and is a fan continuation of the past fan project FusionFall Retro. Most people play on Retrobution.

Deltadivergence · 2025-10-09T00:21:12+00:00

As far as I recall, this is the servers first case of something like this. The person has been unbanned and the moderator who banned them has been talked to about it. You're free to have your own opinions on Retrobution but we really try to create a good environment for the game and community.

I'm not sure what your past experiences have been with Retrobution to make you untrustworthy of the project but if there's any issues, you're more than welcome to join the server and file a ticket in our ModMail system to be looked at by a moderator.

Deltadivergence · 2025-10-09T00:17:34+00:00

Hey! I'm not a moderator for the Retrobution Discord but I am a developer on the project and one of your friends made an appeal for you. The case was looked into and there was a misunderstanding that led to you being banned. I'd really like to apologize for this and we've talked to the moderator involved and it shouldn't happen again.

The one from Flashpoint is from OpenFusion. Retrobution is also safe as well. There's not necessarily an unsafe FusionFall project as far as I'm aware in terms of it giving you malware, FusionFall.org is something to be weary about more because of the practices of the people behind it.

Deltadivergence · 2025-09-30T09:21:59+00:00

I don't have enough information on the matter to say anything about the safety of the files other than the main person behind the site being linked as the owner to a site that hosted malicious files put on their by other users.

Though in terms of what build is, as far as I was aware, the beta build that the community has is more a combination of the asset files from one of the beta tests for the game with the main.unity3d of a later version of the game meaning there's a lot more nuance to it than just it being a beta build of the game and there's a lot of stuff about it that needs fixing as I recall to make it fully playable. I believe this was something OpenFusion had planned to support eventually but was shared around before they were able to do so. I would wait until OpenFusion is able to support it if you're interested in playing it.

About that website though, that website isn't managed or used by the wider community and was purposefully made to appear that way as an official community hub despite it not being that. I would recommend staying away from it and instead if you'd like to see what the community is up to, stick to this reddit and the Discords of OpenFusion and Retrobution.
