What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is a solo developer project, and a challenging subject for a game - but input and support from players can hopefully make it go a lot faster! :)

Early Access lets players influence development, closely follow the game's progress, and get it at a lower price than it will eventually cost on release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Probably 1-2 years. Development may go faster if there is significant income from sales or investment during that time.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access, only superpowers will be playable at first, and development will initially remain focused on expanding/improving the superpower experience.

The full version roadmap includes making any country or rebel movement playable, with additional content to make them all interesting to play. Planned content includes more complex systems for diplomacy, trade, internal politics, and warfare (although this game is not focused on conventional wars, and the military features will probably always remain relatively abstract, compared to other historical strategy games). Mod and Workshop support are also planned for the full version. Some of these features may be added during the Early Access period, and I plan to keep adding content after the full release.

Nearly all features, graphics and UI are subject to change or removal as the game develops. For more information, please see the current roadmap at the end of the Steam product description below.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is an early alpha, with basic superpower conflict gameplay and multiplayer functionality. Many features are still in a prototype state.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will probably increase gradually after new features and content have been added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will be key to whether this game succeeds, and is one of the main benefits of Early Access. I plan to listen closely to players on the Steam forums and social media at all stages of development!”

About This Game

Guide a nation through the Cold War, using both soft and hard power to win allies and defend your way of life. Experience decolonization, the space race, espionage, ideological conflict and more, with streamlined mechanics and retro-inspired graphics, alone or in multiplayer!

Unlike many historical games, warfare is not the main focus here, and world conquest is practically impossible. The superpowers are unable to fight each other directly, due to the threat of mutually-assured destruction with nuclear weapons. Play too aggressively, and you risk destroying the world! You will have to carefully use influence, trade and intrigue alongside your military might in order to achieve supremacy.

Features

  • LAUNCH COUPS
    Unleash your inner economic hitman, overthrow governments and install puppet leaders to expand your sphere of influence.

  • RISE UP AND DECOLONIZE
    Support rebels and independence movements, bring down empires and dictators, establish revolutionary regimes, and redistribute the world's resources (in your favor)!

  • TO THE MOON
    Compete in the space race, and plant your country's flag on the moon to win hearts and minds back on Earth.

  • NUCLEAR ARMS RACE
    Will you achieve disarmament, or push humanity to the brink of annihilation? Just try not to start WWIII!

  • SPY AGAINST SPY
    Deploy agents around the world, infiltrate your enemies and hunt down traitors in the secret struggle for intelligence.

  • CHANGE HISTORY
    Attempt to alter the fate of any nation or political movement, and reshape 20th century history as you see fit.

  • MULTIPLAYER
    Challenge your friends and online opponents in a global test of brinksmanship and backstabbing!

Roadmap

The Early Access release is limited to basic superpower conflict gameplay, including multiplayer. The following features are planned for the full release (some are partially developed already and may be added during Early Access):


  • All countries playable
    Play as a developing nation and pit the superpowers against each other - or try to become a superpower yourself!
  • Playable insurgents
    Start from nothing and fight for freedom, or stay in the game if you fall from power.
  • Military complexity
    Navies and air forces, special equipment, arms trading, unit experience and morale.
  • Political systems
    New province, population, policy/reform and political party mechanics to make each country feel unique.
  • Economic intricacy
    Additional ways to improve your economy through technology, urbanization, import substitution and industrialization.
  • Diplomatic depth
    Content for intergovernmental organizations like the UN, OPEC, Non-Aligned Movement, etc.
  • Historical flavor
    Interact with cultural trends and famous historical figures.
  • Mac and Linux versions
  • Localization for many languages
  • Mod and Workshop support
  • ...and more!
    Many smaller improvements are planned, and extra features may still be added to this list - including suggestions from players!

This roadmap will be updated and improved as progress is made.
