What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Nuclear Arms Race" is a trashy, playerless mobile app that's been dumped on Steam for no discernable reason... I mean, if a game is so bad that mobile peasants won't touch it, why do they think PC gamers would want it? Anyway this turn based "simulator" has you tapping away at your phone to "build" a static looking base and get more numbers than the other players, if there were any. Spoiler: There aren't any. This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. This is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for a "donation" for this as you're expected to buy some extra DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at…3 found this helpful

Игра "Nuclear Arms Race" - это захватывающая стратегическая игра, которая погружает игрока в напряженную атмосферу Холодной войны. Простой, но элегантный геймплей делает ее доступной для новичков, но достаточно глубокой, чтобы увлечь опытных стратегов. Соревновательный аспект подстегивает, заставляя продумывать каждый ход и просчитывать действия противника. Стиль игры немного минималистичен, но функционален. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, что позволяет быстро освоиться и сосредоточиться на стратегии. "Nuclear Arms Race" успешно передает ощущение надвигающегося апокалипсиса, а принятие решений под давлением делает каждую партию уникальной и волнующей. Если вы ищете игру, которая заставит вас напрячь извилины и держать в напряжении до самого конца, то это отличный выбор. Рекомендую!
it made me sad
[h1]Before I played Nuclear Arms Race, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
Yeah, I'm not really sure the core concept was ironed out here. A shame. Provided me about 5 mins of distraction, but I'm not sure I'd call it entertainment. Considering you have no idea when the enemy nation is going to nuke you, it's somewhat good practise for us all IRL.
