About Precipice
Atomic Age Brinkmanship
Take control of the United States or Soviet Union and provide technical and economic assistance to guerrillas all over the world fighting for your cause, all while avoiding a direct and open-confrontation with the enemy.
In Precipice, subterfuge is the most important strategy. Safeguard your closest allies and change unfavorable regimes without giving away your long-term ambitions. Every action risks an enemy reprisal, and if nobody backs down from a standoff, we all lose.
Will you be victorious in the Cold War, or will you send us all over the precipice of nuclear annihilation?
Features
- Face a highly-responsive, unpredictable AI that will attempt to understand your strategy and counter it at every turn.
- Hotseat play and online multiplayer play available.
- World leaders from 72 countries realized as animals native to the region, all pawns in the dangerous game of nuclear chicken.
- Manage resources from territories under your control to resolve immediate crises or win over future allies.
- Recreate history, or forge your own path. Put a bear on the moon. The possibilities are endless.
- Simple, intuitive gameplay that is also difficult to master.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players enjoy this Cold War simulation for its fun premise and engaging mechanics, but the game suffers from significant issues including poor AI that lacks strategic depth and merely randomizes actions rather than pursuing meaningful victory conditions. The game also appears to be abandoned by developers and plagued by technical problems like crashes on launch, which undercuts what could otherwise be an interesting multiplayer experience.
Good game.
The game is really fun, its just a shame its been abandoned by devs.
fun little game, but the ai is completely braindead and pretty much incapable of doing anything other than randomized actions. You'll never see it attempt to unify a zone or progress towards victory in any meaningful way. The only time I really see it do anything of note is when a crisis pops up somewhere in the world and the ai will throw all of it's spies at a region and endlessly destabilize and coup until the crisis ends, and then if you challenge them on the coup they just back down which has led to a lot of games where the ai has 0 countries in their zone of control. im confident that the only way to lose this game is to not back down from a challenge that the ai has a particular hard on for, because the ai on it's own will never beat you. Despite that, i like this game. The game does appear to be dead tho with no updates for the last few years, which is a shame. Hopefully the creator makes it open source at some point because I'm trying to learn gdscript and am particularly curious as to how this game works as I've considered making similar projects on my own time. This game could really be a gem and pretty much a one of a kind in terms of genre if it had a little more love …
Pretty interesting sim of the cold war!
game in normal literally crashes instantly when trying to launch i had real hopes for this game....
great game because when you want to play with your friends, all you have to ask is 'Wanna press my piss?"
