ICBM

ICBM is a real-time strategy game about global nuclear conflict. You take command of one of the world’s continents, build a nuclear arsenal and strike enemy cities with ships, planes and missiles while protecting your population from retaliation.

Build your arsenal

Research technologies and decide whether to develop new weapons or mass-produce existing ones. You can choose among 20 unit types, 12 nuclear weapon types and 44 technologies, building a force to meet different enemy tactics. Strategies include overwhelming opponents with intercontinental ballistic missiles, using bombers to deliver large payloads or launching nuclear weapons from submarines in unexpected locations.

Plan and wage war

You can take time to plan each move or attack as quickly as possible. Adjust the game speed and the rate of contamination to change the pace of a conflict. The strike planner lets you prepare detailed attacks against specific structures, units and cities, then synchronise ICBM launches to overwhelm enemy defences.

Diplomacy can give you strategic advantages: share information, technologies or even the locations of your nukes with allies against common enemies. Alliances can end, however, leaving you to defend against former allies.

Game modes

Multiplayer matches support up to eight players. Play free-for-all, in fixed teams or in co-op games, and improve your ELO score as you climb the leaderboard.

Modding

The game includes modding support for adding or changing maps, units, technologies, rules, graphics and more.
