About DEFCON

You command military forces from an underground bunker in this indie strategy game. Players launch ships and bombers to destroy enemy defenses while alliances form and break during the nuclear conflict phase. Civilian deaths determine points for each player faction, and nuclear strikes expose unit positions to counter-attack risks. Game tension rises as DEFCON levels decrease globally, requiring you to eliminate opponents while minimizing own casualties. The title supports single-player, co-op, and multiplayer modes with a replay value focused on tactical PvP. The main story takes about 1 hour to complete, extending to roughly 4 hours with extras or 6 hours for a full run. The game runs on Steam Deck with a Playable rating. It is a self-published release from Introversion Software.Read more
