Defcon Demo: Or...How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate the Bomb

[Anjin-San]

This is one of the most haunting games you'll ever play that lacks the words "Silent Hill".

Inspired by Wargames, this black depiction of what would happen if the insanity of full-scale nuclear warfare actually went down left me feeling bad when I lost and won.

Yes, it's little pixelated ships bombing little pixelated cities with cute little bombs...but the soundtrack, along with the little death counters drive home the fact that if it does happen...the guys in the bunkers will essentially be looking at the apocalypse as if it were a video-game. I'd definately recommend getting the full version.

I LOVE THIS GAME.

I played this the second it was released on Steam, and I advise everyone to at least try the demo. This game has truly sucked me in.

Would you like to play a game of thermo-nuclear war?

EDIT: I ****ing love this game

Something I picked up through playing this last night. Enemy silos need to be able to see your missiles to shoot them down. Radars are easy to disable, and usually placed directly on the border of their country. If you have silos close to the border as well, the missiles only have a short distance to travel to hit the radar. Removing a few radars will leave them mostly blind; they'll have to send out aircraft or use ships to see incoming nukes.

And if you're in an alliance, ALWAYS leave one silo full for the end of the game, you can't trust anybody in nuclear war.

Yeah... It's an interesting game alright... I haven't gotten a chance yet to get too far into it, but I've seen the screenshots on 4chan. And yeah... It is kinda creepy seeing how easily millions of people can be killed...

I've gotta practice at that game some more, so I can join in on some multiplayer nuking.

Bought it.

I say we have a cross-GP game of nuclear war some day. Think about it: 6 of us nuking the hell out of each other.

Great jooooooooooy ^^

I need practice though

This weekend might work if anyone wants to go one on one in the demo. More soon!
