DEFCON It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.

I grabbed the demo off of Steam and christ, it's either overly challenging or the most strategic modern day PC game I've ever tested.

No snazzy graphics, but it's a real nailbiter once nukes are flying in every direction.

I am really digging this game. Something surreal about it and it just gives you this sick feeling... yet I can't turn away.

Maybe the sick feeling is 'what if'?

The graphics looks like the stuff you see in the movie Wargames.

Well the music in the background is ambient, and changes tone with the event of nukes launching and hitting their targets.
For some reason, you can also hear people coughing or shuffling papers. I assume the game is meant to be played on Widescreen, giving the impression you are in an environment such as the NORAD control room watching cute little tugboats rectangles at each other, blowing up the entire world and killing millions of people.
Cheers for that psych effect

I tried it but just couldn't get into it...too complicated for my taste. The music is really cool though.

Go through the tutorial before you play. Explains a lot and makes it much easier than going feet first into it.

its actually anything but complicated. if anything its far too simplistic. there are only so many times you can replay it before it gets boring. awesome game while it lasts though, props to the developers for doing something different.

The game is so basic and easy, it works well.

It gets old VERY quick though, it was the best thing I've seen for like two weeks and then your just like, fuck off. There's fuckin little to do in that.

Agreed, sound effects and music are AMAZING, they match the game and mood perfectly.
