DEFCON

DEFCON is depressing. So if you don't like that, play something else. Everybody dies, it is horrible, and everything about the game, from the music to the graphics, is dreary and bleak. The entire game is a big reference to the movie WarGames (1983). It is not subtle about it at all. I consider WarGames a good movie, so I do not mind the references. The gameplay is interesting, for a little while. All sides are balanced apart from geography. The game is about making sure you kill more of the enemy people than they kill of yours. Given the fairly limited set of units, this generally plays out more or less the same each time. This gets repetitive pretty fast. There is not much variation in play style. One thing which frustrated me is that controlling your units is extremely difficult. Units left to their own devices will be completely useless, so you need to micro-manage. However, units are also very slow to respond to your orders. This makes precise control impossible. Combine this with the fact that the game is real-time and cannot be paused by default, and any fun drains out of the game real fast. The AI, meanwhile, can control units perfectly. The AI is not actually good at the game, at least at the strategy level. But the fact that it can actually control its units means that even on a level playing field you will probably lose, because you can't get your units to behave. Another glaring issue, is that this game does not function offline. Want to play by yourself without an internet connection? Too bad. Sometimes even when you do have a connection the game fails to authenticate and only lets you play the demo. Enraging. Not recommended. I guess if you really like Global Thermonuclear War, or some other game with simple mechanics and little gameplay variation like chess, you might go for this. In my opinion, the only winning move is not to play.

Gather your friends, count down to 0. Nuke them. Don't look at your cities, it's just numbers anyway. Nuke the crap out of every single one of them. Role play as current news in period of time. And when then do it again, because follow up strikes are the only way to know for sure that the bastards are dead.

I can single-handedly destroy the whole world, 10/10 fun
