✦ AI summary

Nuclear Dawn is a Source engine hybrid FPS-RTS that players praise for its fun, punchy combat, stylish visuals, and unique commander mechanics, though the multiplayer community is essentially dead and the game can cause motion sickness in some players. Most reviewers find it enjoyable for casual play with friends despite its janky feel and reliance on having active players, with several suggesting it's worth trying when available at a low price.

Nuclear Dawn: An incomprehensive review: Boot up game with a friend one rainy Saturday evening Load into an empty server Play around for a bit with the command feature Notice the Enemy AI building a turret caterpillar Calmly rage quit Get convinced to come back Calmly rage quit again after not being able to join my Friend's team Get convinced to come back Discover the rocket launcher Monkey Brain activated Enjoy the actual gameplay with my friend as we attempt to kill one another Hold an apparently "very upset" enemy commander in a 3 hour slog while he spams buildings instead of playing the game in a fun way "Your victory is hollow and your Mother is a Ferret" Lose the game to artillery spam, but win the morale victory as I had fun where as he probably did not Final note: "I am an Ape with a Rocket Launcher, Git Gud" 10/10

Disclaimer: This was €1. Regardless of that? It's awesome! Even at the full price, I'd still recommend it for some mindless fun. Just be aware the game is slightly janky and the multiplayer is basically dead -- it's one of those games that really needs other players to reach it's full potential, so maybe try and get some buddies to play with you. Graphics: Stylish as hell for a 2000's Source game. Things are a little muddy and grainy, but it's exactly what you'd expect for the time and done well. Combat: Really fun. It's nothing you haven't seen in other Source games, but it feels punchy and enjoyable. The roster of weapons is pretty awesome too. RTS: Basic, but good. This isn't an RTS game with FPS elements - it's an FPS with RTS elements. There's a selection of structures and about a dozen research options. It's not deep, it's not complex, but that's kind of it's charm. Very easy to pick up and understand and quite an addictive loop if you're playing Commander. (And you will, since bots can't do it.) It's more a game of attrition or checkers than chess. There's not much to say about it. It's a very simple, but enjoyable game that's dirt cheap at worst and almost free at best…
