We're happy to announce that ICBM is joining the Steam Game Festival: from October 7th to October 13th, you will all be able to engage your friends in a thermonuclear war and to nuke each other for free.

Make yourself comfortable and get ready to push the big red button: the demo will feature the tutorials to help you learn the game and the standard settings of the multiplayer mode.

Last but not least - don't miss the marathon stream! Starting on October 9th, 4 PM BST, we're going to stream the most epic ICBM multiplayer highlights, including Rimmy's streams and the competitive match between Slitherine and the Pentagon Wargame Team.

So tune in on Steam by that time!

Thanks for the Demo! I spent a couple hours with it this evening. It reminds me of Command H.Q., but with much more fidelity and detail. I kept wishing I could pull population from cities to create military ground units to capture enemy cities or run special ops missions in enemy territory.

Damnit I missed the demo.

I'm really eager to play this one. DEFCON was (well ... is) so cool to play.

I never understood why destroying the world with nuclear weapons is that fun.  :)

Is anyone interested in reviewing this for Grogheads? If so, I have a code for you.

Maybe we can also connect for multiplayer.

Thanks.

I hope this is available as a direct-from-Matrix purchase. I do not want to get it on Steam.

I was a beta tester on ICBM.  It is a fun "Beer and Pretzel" game.  MP takes about 1 hour to play.  It is a lot of fun.  Strategically complex, it allows players to create a strategy, and build a variety of force structures to implement the strategy.  Like chess, there is no single strategy that guarantees victory, so it has a very high replayability value.  It might be fun to get a  group of grogs together to play on a regular basis.

The AI is good.  It was always a challenge for me, but it was beatable. Don't trust the AI to keep its diplomatic agreements >:D

Want to get this - but bit confused as to what it is - given its about thermo nuclear war - what is all the building carriers subs de3stroyer stuff - can someone give an overview of how the game plays out ?
"you are the rule maker, the dictator, the mini- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, the emperor, generalissimo, the MAN. You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

It's basically DEFCON, just with some modern design sensibilities.

If you never played DEFCON, it was a game about essentially planning as best as possible for a thermo-nuclear war which always happens. This involved placement of military assets, such as fleets, air forces etc. but also about the placement of defensive weapons as well. The war kicks off, nukes goes flying and you see how well you did - rinse and repeat.

As far as I've read, this is basically the same thing, except it has a tech tree you can go down and a bit more agency to build things and lean into specific strategies.

But it's a game about firing nukes at other people, nothing more, nothing less.
