On The Clock

Time to go weapons hot. Tensions have reached unprecedented heights and all you've really got is an hour to tip the scales of power in your favour in Alina Digital's just released real-time strategy wargame The Cold War Era.

 

 

Military might, stealthy spies, blatant propaganda, and high-tech Space Race marvels are all at war game lovers' fingertips when they choose to play as the U.S.A. or the U.S.S.R. and rewrite history in The Cold War Era.

 

 

TCWE is a P2P RTS strategy game based on the epic conflict between the Americans and the Soviets spanning the 1950s through the 1990s. Within one hour of gameplay players will course through four decades of contention, paranoia, secrecy, and the overarching "us vs. them" mentality.

 

 

Despite the complex themes encapsulated in TCWE's hour-long gameplay, Alina Digital's mission is to "minimize clicks per minute to maximize fun."

 

 

 

The melting point features:

 

 

 

• Immerse yourself in a realistic atmosphere that recreates the true Cold War.

• Choose your side and play as either the Americans or the Soviets to rewrite Cold War history.

• Install military units to prop up the local Allied government or transform rebels into revolutionaries in Opposing countries.

• Establish spy networks to support government propaganda campaigns or shake loose the Opposition's stronghold.

• Launch rockets, satellites and astronauts into space to shock and amaze the world and win their alliance.

• Devise your own strategies and tactics, forcing your opponent to play by your rules.

• Initiate pro-government parades or incite riots to plunge countries into chaos.

• Keep on top of the game's goings-on by watching TCWE's unique in-game TV stream. This TV stream consists of real-life news footage shot during the Cold War era, edited to represent the players' in-game activities.

• Use time to your advantage -- each Cold War Era matchup only takes 1 hour to play, start to finish.

• Play P2P and match wits against a human opponent, or battle in single-player mode against a crafty AI.

• Play any time against a live opponent via TCWE's game server.

 

 

 

Before you reach for your launch codes, it might be a good idea to read the game manual (direct link).

 

 

Then, if you feel the time is right, move to condition red and purchase this title at the official site.
