What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
ICBM: Escalation is a global strategy RTS that players praise for its engaging geopolitical mechanics, solid AI improvements, and strong mod support, though some report significant performance issues and occasional bugs with the AI's technology tracking system. Most players who get past the technical hurdles find it fun and rewarding despite a steep learning curve, and the game appears worth picking up for strategy fans willing to troubleshoot performance problems.
I bought the game just to post this negative review. I did a post to explain the dev is lying and gaslighting people about the DRM because, yes, after everything it does, it is a DRM, so my post with proof got deleted without explanation and also got banned. I'm surprised by this pure censorship. The dev is actually, if he did it for me, I can't imagine how many other people got silenced by him. So here's my post that got deleted: "Instead of proving me wrong, you just talk about drm steam(nobody cares about the basic steam drm) and lock the topic 3 connection to playfab server when launching the game and checking dlc "not a DRM" by the way, what a joke then 512-character RSA signature from a PlayFab CloudScript on the exe you can block this topic too and gashlight people even more." After that the dev said I was just a frustrated pirate who couldn't play the game. Btw, it's very easy to find the game on Google, and I have more than 400 games, yeah I don't have money to buy an indie game.... what a joke I also sent the message to Steam because this dev has serious behavior problem Update 1 : after Dev answer still lying for some reason : You need to lie again to try to get …9 found this helpful
Expected a fun game in which I can have interesting engagements utilizing airpower, only to realize the airplane logic is complete and utter useless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Selecting the Auto Engage option for your airfields will make your planes tunnel vision, often leading to them suicide charging by following the enemy back into his own airzone leading to their destruction. This could be addressed with a simple fix (such as allowing the player to select a circle around the airfield that mark an engagement area. The game does not allow this for whatever reason.) Launching multirole planes for ground attack also works wonders. Instead of bundling up for a big wave attack, the airfield will launch two planes which most often then not make it through before getting blown to bits. The airfield will then continue to launch two planes, and manually bundling up planes so you can send them on a swarm attack is very difficult. Furthermore the AI will always take a straight line path from air base to target, with no way to change that. So if the straight way has an AA in its way, that could easily be bypassed, the AI will instead keep flying over it and get shot down, which once again, you cannot prev…5 found this helpful
