This game is unbelievable!!

Is anyone else following Defcon?

It is basically a modern political and economic simulator.

Click on game on the left and especially check out the screenshots. If this game lives up to half its potential it will make the Civ franchise look like a child's toy in comparison.

Why the hell aren't there any previews of this one in the game magazines?

BTW another amazingly cool game to be released soon is Republic.

These two games along with whatever Paradox (maker of EU) is cooking up adds up to a veritable explosion of strategy games which are also complex simualations.

Shades of Outpost and Battlecruiser...

New games from untested companies are always risky, but it's also how we get original games like Wolfenstein and Warcraft.

[Zylka]

Looks kind of cool. Big production or indy?

[Juggernaut]

Looks imaginative as hell but slightly weird in some way. Like an Underdogs game.

[Kautilya]

Yeah with games as ambitious and novel as this there is always the possibility of a buggy mess.

But it's not as if established companies like Firaxis produce flawless products either.

BTW a good fan-site with more info.

Outpost was kind of cool at the time. (But I haven't played it in a very long time.)

Battlecrusier looked cool, but sucked big time.

Are all nations playable?

Defcon...I remember downloading a very early alpha. It was only placeholder art and whatnot. But this is looking absolutely amazing, Shadow President taken to a new height.


Thanks for bringing it up.

Romanian. While Canada is stronger, Romania has weaker neighbors. Many of them Besides, no one really cares what we do in the balkans... until it's too late.
