DEFCON

You think you're winning until you realize you used all your nukes.
And they have all of theirs still.

And they didn't like how you brutally decimated Moscow.

Didn't deploy my navy before Defcon 3, and all of my cities got nuked 20 times... 10/10

fun

it is good

An interesting game. The only winning move is to NUKE THE FCK OUT OF EVERYONE

DEFCON is unplayable at high resolutions.

Game good. War crimes fun

Mr. President, I feel I have blood on my hands.

Full of bugs, UI can't be resized so it's impossible to read the text. Nobody is ever online so it's basically abandonware. Not worth the money.

this game hits different.

Extremely well made, it's a lot of fun to play. Love the foreboding ambiance of the background music. The game runs well, with no major issues. Be careful when exiting the game, don't press ESC twice, or else it messes up your aspect ratios and you'll have to close the game through the task manager. Other than that, the game is great. If you're into WarGames and nuclear war scenarios, you'll enjoy this game.

excellent game, shame they havent made more

yes i approve

I got to commit homicide in this game with no consequences, 10/10

Good game concept and execution is alright, but it's definitely not a 10$ experience, just play the DEMO since the online is dead, or buy the game during a sale. Game also takes a bit of work to get to be played properly, probably since it's over a decade old.

Neat experience, though nothing too exhilarating.
Definitely worth it during a sale, I wouldn't pay full price for it though.

Had terrible issues with the display when playing the game. Too much button clicking when launching nukes.

Good game stunted by Terrible bugs
All the mechanics seem really interesting and the game looks really fun and I image it would be...
If I could even fucking play the game
The aspect ratios are cooked, The game stops responding when I make a custom game, Full screen is broken
and if I press Esc twice, the game kills itself and permanently changes my Aspect ratio and I have to task manager it to close it

Missles go Boom

an incredibly well made apocalypse game. terrifyingly fun.

Incredibly fun

Game sucks lol

My mum leaves me alone when I have this on
Reclaim the basement

Intense, anxiety driving, and lives reduced to counts in megadeaths. DEFCON is the ultimate early 2000's nuclear war game.
Being inspired by one of the most impactful movies of it's time is simply the cherry on top.

This is a must have ESPECIALLY if you are into indie devs. Introversion is one of the OGs of the indie dev scene and their commitment to their craft shows.

nuke everyone

Sorry, I don't really write reviews, so this will be short. It's amazing. It's a great game if you're interested in nuclear war, and who isn't? It takes real strategy and planning to crush the enemy and win. It's well worth the price, so just get it.

Simple strategy game with a cool Anti-War message, does get a little repetitive tho

A fine addition to genocide-likes. Defcon is not particularly fun to play, but it's immersive. Plenty of dread and anxiousness. You make many of your decisions in the beginning phases of the game, and watching them unfold is an absolute terror. Millions will die because you placed your missile defenses incorrectly. What could be better?

Defcon.

Nuke 'em all and let God sort 'em out.

Or,

Nuke 'til you puke. it's not nuclear war. It's PUKE-ULAR war!

DEFCON is less a game, and more an effective demonstration of the grim implications of nuclear proliferation.

Biggest positives:
+++ Conveys a strong anti-nuclear message without a single word of plot
++ Haunting soundtrack that hints at the perverse nature of the game

Other notes:
~ Glacial pace of play
- Too tedious to try and execute more powerful strategies after learning the basics

stops on mac

very fun. best part is when you see all the nukes rain down. "fun" gameplay + games can last up to 6 hours. probably could run on any pc too.
the only winning move is not to play.

its ok

peak

Absolutely great!

So far I've only played the tutorial, but I'm digging it so far! It is just the right amount of complexity, and I'm surprised I've never seen a nuclear strategy game before.

Pretty good, it is one of those rts games that are simple yet very interesting

Почему нету тэга: "Психоделический хоррор"?

"Scariest game" my ass.
More fun than HoI4

The tutorial is more outdated that a nokia.

A true classic. I feel like I was able to end covid globally all by my lonesome, by showering swaths of the planet with nuclear fire. :D

DEFCON, the world's first (And likely only) genocide 'em up. You assume control of a country / group of nations and must commandeer their nuclear arsenal, and deliver it in the most effective way possible, either via air launch, ground based launches, or nautical launches via submarines. Choose whether to go on the attack fully or embrace a small, near non-existant possibility to deter a few impacts. The game has no real set up time, and you are given everything to set up instantly, no need to farm resources or prepare. You just decide where to place your structures, and wait. Upon reaching the higher DEFCON levels, you can technically launch your weapons if you desire, or wait. Ground based silos can be switched from attack to intercept, to as the name implies, intercept incoming missiles. Once a nuclear weapon is let loose though, everyone tends to launch theirs. The winning move is to not play. Have fun.

I fucking love war I wanna kill people for money and destroy cultures and history!

wow man-made horrors beyond my comprehension! sweet

a

This game gives a profound sense of despair. Love it

Takes inspiration from War Games and gives you a nice way to destroy the world (and your mom) from your computer. So underrated. I recommend listening to nightcore music while playing this. Will note, there's a lot to learn but once you have gotten a hang out of the mechanics, it's really fun. There's also dedicated servers where you can specifically play against other new players and ones where you can try your hand at more experienced folks. Have fun!

game of all timr
