Defcon 14 Patch description
DEFCON is an online, competitive, multiplayer strategy game simulating global thermonuclear war.
DEFCON is an online, competitive, multiplayer strategy game simulating global thermonuclear war. The game, inspired by the 1983 cult-classic film, Wargames, superbly evokes the tension, paranoia and suspicion surrounding the Cold War era, as we all remember it.
The player assumes the role of a General hidden deepwithin an underground bunker, his mission being to successfully exterminate the enemy's civilian population whilst simultaneously disabling the enemy's ability to retaliate. Desperate attempts must be made to form fast, tactical alliances - alliances that may at any moment break-down to become treacherous
and very deadly betrayals.
