About ICBM

✦ AI summary

ICBM is a real-time strategy game where you research nuclear technology, build your arsenal, and command ships, planes, and missiles to annihilate enemy cities while defending your own population. With 20 unit types, 12 weapon variants, and 44 technologies to master across multiple strategic approaches, you can overwhelm opponents with overwhelming firepower, diplomat cunning, or carefully synchronized strikes in multiplayer battles against up to seven other players.

ICBM is a real-time strategy game of nuclear destruction. Research new technologies, build up your nuclear stockpile and use a combination of ships, planes and missiles to strike at the heart of your opponents’ cities while keeping your population safe from harm.
Take command of one of the continents of the world and prepare yourself for global nuclear conflict. It is your job to ensure the complete and total destruction of your enemies, while you do all in your power to prevent enemy retaliation against your peace-loving citizens.
Research and develop your nuclear arsenal. Will you focus on developing new technologies, or mass producing existing ones? It takes a true strategist to research and build a balanced force that can deal with a multitude of enemy tactics.
In ICBM, you can try out different strategies every time you play. Will you overwhelm your enemy with intercontinental ballistic missiles? Use bombers to deliver massive payloads? Or maybe use submarines to deliver nukes from the least expected locations? These strategies and more can all be used to ensure victory. ICBM has 20 unit types and 12 nuclear weapon types to use, plus 44 technologies to explore.
Take the time to carefully plan your next move, or just nuke your opponents as fast as you can. Increase the contamination speed for a swift and painless nuclear war, or slow it down for an endless nightmare. In ICBM, you can constantly adjust the game speed to your own pace.
Use diplomacy to gain strategic advantages. Share information, technologies or even the location of your nukes with your allies to wage war against common enemies. Be aware however that these alliances do not have to last and you might find yourself fending off attacks by your former friends.
Reduce micro-management by making use of the strike planner. Set up detailed plans in advance, targeting specific structures, units and cities and synchronise your ICBM launches to overwhelm the enemies defences.
Play with up to seven other players in multiplayer matches. Play in free for all, fixed teams or coop games, all while improving your ELO score as you climb the leaderboard.
Up for something different? ICBM comes with full modding support out of the box. Add or change maps, units, technologies, rules, graphics and much more.

ICBM is a real-time strategy game developed by SoftWarWare and K-Project and published by Slitherine Ltd. It takes the familiar foundations of strategy games and shifts the focus away from commanding massive armies on conventional battlefields, instead placing players in charge of an entire nuclear superpower. Every decision revolves around technological superiority, military preparedness, and the ever-present threat of mutually assured destruction. The result is a tense and highly strategic experience where a single mistake can erase decades of careful planning within minutes. The game's greatest strength lies in how it transforms global nuclear warfare into an engaging strategic contest. Rather than relying on constant combat, players spend much of each match expanding their infrastructure, researching new technologies, and preparing for the inevitable conflict. Scientific advancement unlocks increasingly sophisticated missile systems, stealth bombers, submarines, satellites, orbital weapons, and defensive installations. Deciding whether to prioritize offensive capabilities, strengthen homeland defenses, or accelerate research creates meaningful strategic diversity, ensuring tha…

fun, fast to learn, simple enough to master in just a few hours content does run somewhat dry once you've tried every type of "build" at least once, but that's what the sequel is for :)

Fun game to play, especially when your bored on your laptop. Particularly fun outside of your house such as in school in your free time since you dont need to sweat, you can pause and chill yet still have fun.

Buggy, laggy, unplayable at times due to optimisation. But some of the most fun memories I've had playing games with friends. There is no pay to win, the ranked mode is how anything should be, out of 5 matches played I lost heavily in 3 of them, still gained points due to decisions that were fairly counted as good moves so I was rewarded with more points. However, where this game truly shines is hopping on with some friends and doing some goofy xxxx with mods and bullying the AI. The Hard mode isn't the hardest and many players get the hang of it quickly, but I've found that mods fix this issue as they increase the aggressiveness to a degree that challenges you. The tech tree is simple and resets each game with plenty of fun ways to dominate early game or develop better late game weapons, with this choice becoming available every new game. If you like simple strategy games that aren't too complicated and you can relax by playing rather than having to lock tf in, then I would recommend this game.
