They merely serve as targets for the enemy to slaughter and for you to protect.Ĭities also serve as a tremendous part of the atmosphere of this game, which itself is lush in its sparseness, gripping in intensity, and, if you let it take you in, can be overwhelming and depressing. Cities are also present but you have no control over them. Add to that a few basic immobile units: airbases, radars, and missile silos, and your arsenal is complete. Stripped of logistical warfare, we are left with only naval fleets and various aircraft to move around. In Defcon, there are no resources, no mines, no peons to zug zug and order around the payoff is raw direct strategic combat. Not even Kohan with its system of capturing cities to increase your general resources strayed so far from the familiar. Another significant deviation from the standard RTS formula is a complete lack of resource management. No on-the-ground perspective is provided. Instead of a standard field of battle, the player is presented with an simple modular command map. Instead of World War 2 we get the Cold War and while there is strong variation between say Company of Heroes and Command and Conquer, it pales compared to the difference in atmosphere, mood and most dramatic strategy seen in Defcon. Defcon though manages to avoid the inevitable, “This isn’t just another WW2 game”, by not being set during the second World War. Not to rail on, Company of Heroes is well worth paying attention to. While no one enjoys the next iteration of, “Yet Another WW2 Game, No Really This is a Good One”, er I mean Company of Heroes, more than I do, it is refreshing to see something profoundly creative in this well mined genre. Instead, it is a complete package containing a new take on the somewhat tired genre of real time strategy war games, something for which we can all be thankful. Do not be deceived by the screenshots this isn’t just a quick Flash game mood piece. There are a number of homages to nuclear war films, from the raster-like map display which is quite reminiscent of Wargames to the vast echo hallway sounds reminiscent of the war room in Dr. And as a game, it’s a good one.ĭefcon presents us with no story, just imminent doom from nuclear destruction. We should instead take it on the terms that we are given: simply as a game. This is a unique independent game that however ends up sounding like marketing spiel itself. Let me start by saying that I’d like to ignore the hype surrounding Defcon. Does Defcon? Let us find out together, you and I.
