Defcon – Everybody Dies

A Telepolis article “Atomkrieg am Bildschirm” recently introduced the game Defcon by Introversion Software. It’s “the worlds first Genocide ’em up”. I played the demo and liked it very much.

It’s a strategy game where up to 6 players try to kill each other by means of nuclear weapons. To do this they may plant nuclear silos, radar stations, airports and fleets on a minimalistic but aesthetic world map. They can move their fleets, launch fighters and bombers and after some time of dancing arround each other, players may launch vast amounts of nuclear missiles to blow the opponents back to the stone age. The player killing the most enemy people wins. Fun! A picutre of the nuclear exchange:

A fully playable demo is available (50MB) and the full version can be obtained for only 14EUR. All strategy fans and genocide lovers should really check it out.
