A new release on Steam lays bare the horrors of global nuclear war.
) Wargames-inspired strategy sim about turning the planet into a roasted chestnut. In reality, it's something quite different, and not really a game at all: It's"a detailed realistic simulation and visualization of large-scale nuclear conflicts with a focus on humanitarian consequences."
The first of a six-part series of brief documentary videos shared by Matrix Games uses the ongoing war in Ukraine to demonstrate Nuclear War Simulator's capabilities. It's clinical, yet surprisingly harrowing: "While this software is not a game in the classical sense the user interface is intentionally very similar to a game and should be familiar to most people," Stepanov said."The simulation now has a number of tutorials teaching basic functions and there are 30 premade scenarios coming with the simulation so that new users can jump in without any expert knowledge.
While the Steam release of Nuclear War Simulator has come a long way compared to the original standalone version, Stepanov has a number of ideas about how to continue developing it, ranging from improvements to graphics and UI to the addition of new nuclear strike effects and the expansion of civilian and military asset databases. He's also looking at improving the depiction of individual humans in the sim,"to make the simulation more personal.
