Question 1

Is Hedgewars free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, entirely. Hedgewars is open-source under GPL-2.0 with no purchases, DLC or advertising.

Yes, including a campaign, training missions and matches against AI opponents, though the game is at its best with other people.

Question 5

Does Hedgewars have online multiplayer?

Yes, with public rooms and an official server. Live server and player counts are shown on the Hedgewars servers page.
