About Nuclear Dawn
Nuclear Dawn merges full-scale FPS combat with real-time strategy command in a single cohesive experience, where soldiers battle across post-apocalyptic maps while commanders orchestrate resources, structures, and squad tactics from above. Two warring factions with distinct building styles, four classes per side with dozens of weapon loadouts, and commander abilities that heal troops or devastate enemies create a uniquely layered multiplayer warfare experience.
As a soldier, explore war-torn post-apocalyptic landscapes, modelled on modern cities, and take the fight to your enemies as armoured, assault or stealth infantry, using various weapons across ten distinct load-outs to accomplish your objectives. The first person shooter action in Nuclear Dawn is hard, fast and unforgiving, with weapons that rely on skill and tactics more than on twitch reflexes and map memorization.
Then, take Nuclear Dawn above the action, and play as the commander. Organize your fellow players in squads, and assign them to tactical objectives. Plan the resource routes for your army, and production of your structures for forward deployment. Exploit the terrain and resource point locations to block your enemies’ advance, and crush their plans in an iron fist. Research and implement new technologies to give your soldiers the edge on the battlefield, and set up forward bases to lead the assault on your enemies, with a full complement of defensive and offensive structures to choose from, to build your perfect fortress.
Features
- Two factions: The Empire and the Consortium have completely separate base-building paradigms.
- RTS commander: Produce structures, research advanced technologies, unleash devastating strikes on the enemy, and lead your team to victory as a RTS commander.

- Squad up: Squad-based 32 player full warfare battle mode.
- Six maps: Travel across the largest, most detailed maps built in Source multiplayer to date.

- Stats and Unlocks: 60 ranks, 12 unlocks for each weapon, achievements, gizmos and more.
- SDK: Nuclear Dawn Software Development Kit will be available for the community to be able to create custom maps, etc.
- Source Powered: Based on the L4D2 engine and modified to bring you the ultimate online battle experience.
- Steam Workshop Support: The game supports the Steam Workshop and allows for custom maps to be added.

I do not remember buying this game but it is in my library and it was fun3 found this helpful
Of course, it is sad that this game is dead now, but I really liked it. There is really no replacement for this, which is sad. The concept was really something else and I hope we will see some game in the future, making use of this RTS+FPS style.2 found this helpful
Pretty entertaining and fun to play with strangers on the internet. Nowadays the graphics are probably a bit dated but the gameplay is good. Reminds me of the good old 'Starsiege: Tribes' game.2 found this helpful
Nice nieche and classic source game , sadly i love the colorsheme , simplicity , some relations to BF2, direct input feel of source in general but ..... this ♥♥♥♥ allways give me motionsickness and headache, dunno why fr but it is sycnificant major problem , else its realy great addition to the collection of Source games If u want try and dont have the problems i have with it u cant go wrong try it out on week ends , a small rarely play community left but the game is offered for 0,99€ often1 found this helpful
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…
dead game lel. Its kind of a shame because this was one of the pioneers in the RTS-FPS hybrid genre. It still has a killer atmosphere and world. Theres still bots to play with on the official servers. But you will need to host a gamenite with your friends in order to get anyone to actually play this game regularly. if you are playing it alone on the servers: you HAVE to be commander and spend most of your time just placing down structures and doing the call-in support because the bots can't actually be do commander things. Likewise the AI bots can't actually do commander things and so you'll be fighting a winning war every match trying to babysit braindead AI. Cool historical artifact: get it on steep sale.
