ICBM

ICBM places you in command of one of Earth's continental powers during a global nuclear standoff. The objective is brutally simple — destroy everyone else's cities while keeping your own population alive — and the simulation underneath gives you the full toolkit of cold-war and modern strategic nuclear forces to do it with. Twenty unit types, 12 distinct nuclear weapons, and 44 researchable technologies sit across ships, planes, missiles and silos.

Strategic choice runs deeper than the obvious option of launching everything at once. You can saturate enemies with intercontinental ballistic missiles, lean on heavy bombers to deliver massive payloads, sneak submarines into unexpected positions for surprise strikes, or invest in tech rather than mass production. A strike planner lets you queue detailed orders in advance — specific targets, synchronized launch windows, coordinated suppression — so a wave of missiles arrives all at once and overwhelms enemy defenses instead of being picked off one by one.

Diplomacy is a real layer rather than window dressing. You can share intelligence, technologies and silo locations with allies — and they can betray you the moment the math turns in their favor. Game speed scales to whatever pace you prefer, from contemplative chess-style planning up to a frantic exchange where contamination spreads as fast as the missiles do. Up to eight players support free-for-all, team and co-op multiplayer, with an ELO ladder for ranked play, and modding support out of the box covers maps, units, technologies and rules.
