Ravenfield

Ravenfield is a chaotic first-person shooter where you command AI squads in large-scale battles. Its distinctive feature is the ability to drastically alter the flow of war with a vast arsenal and a focus on emergent, often hilarious, combat scenarios.

The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
