A different, refreshing, and great strategy game.
User Rating: 9 | DEFCON: Everybody Dies PC
Ever wanted to nuke a major city? Well in this game you can. DEFCON's objective is to destroy cities, and kill as many people with nukes. The game includes only 5 units, and 3 structures. That may seem little for a strategy game, but it keeps the game simple. The units, in my opinion, are balanced and all have important functions, unlike some units in other RTS games that can just be forgotten. I can't say much about graphics, since it is just a map of the world, with a few units and structures on the map. But the map of the world does look good. Again, I can't say much about sounds. There aren't many combat sounds in the game. The highlight of the game, is the online multiplayer. Even though there aren't many people playing this online, it is still great, especially with friends. What is more satisfying then blowing up your friend's New York, or Moscow, and watching the kill count hit 60 million. Another great thing about the game is the mods. Some are very simple, like adding the names of the cities, and some could change strategy, like playing in space. It keeps the game from getting stale.
If you are looking for a new, different, refreshing strategy game, this is the one to get. Although, I would of hoped for more players online to nuke, this is one of those hidden gems, which sadly, nobody know of.
