DEFCON, which was loosely based on the movie WarGames (1983), is an one-of-a-kind indie game and the only well-known game that places nuclear warfare as its central theme.

Inspiration for Defcon Deterrence was brought about by the fact that there simply isn't any realistic or even semi-realistic thermonuclear warfare games for PC Desktop in existence today. To play the Defcon Deterrence mod all you need is a full version of DEFCON for PC (which you can download and purchase from Introversion Software) and simply follow the README.txt instructions in the mod to patch your DEFCON game into the Defcon Deterrence simulation variant! If you have ever wondered what it would truly feel like to experience the structural tension of nuclear geopolitics within the confines of an abstract PC pseudo-simulation or if you have gotten bored of the traditionally tedious gameplay of legacy DEFCON and prefer “stimulation” to board game “strategy” then you owe it to yourself to give this mod a try!

Other enchancements include Airbases equipped with Kinetic-Kill Anti-Carieer and Anti-Ship weapons, the newfound ability to launch Reconnaissance Satellites (with optional EMP) and a doomsday device, in-game cheats, and many more! Later on, a fully functionally " dead hand" / "perimeter" system will be implemented in the game, so a retaliatory strike can be guaranteed even when you are away from the computer!ĭeterrence is one aspect of thermonuclear warfare that has really been brought to the forefront in Defcon Deterrence.

For the first time ever, included in this mod are BSN (ballistic nuclear submarines) with long range SLBM (submarine launched ballastic missiles) MIRVs (Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) that can be variably split at any arbitrary point in time. In this mod, based on the DEFCON source made availabe to users of the Humble Introversion Bundle, Defcon Deterrence emphasizes on the more realistic simulation of global thermonuclear warfare, including attempting to emulate the psychology, mood, and dynamics of first-strike decapitation, mutually assured destruction, no first use policy, credible second-strike capability, etc. Defcon Deterrence ( ) is a modified version of DEFCON, a stunning online multiplayer game of global thermonuclear war published by Introversion Software.
