Attrition: Nuclear Domination – A Comprehensive Review
Introduction
Attrition: Nuclear Domination is a 3D missile command style game developed by Reptoid Games and released in 2015. The game features resource collection, nuclear and nuclear suppression devices, and allows players to choose from ten different nations to play as.
Gameplay
The objective of Attrition: Nuclear Domination is to be the last player standing by destroying all of your opponents’ nuclear silos. Players can do this by launching nuclear missiles, deploying nuclear suppression devices, or using conventional weapons to destroy enemy silos.
The game is played on a 3D map of the world, and players can zoom in and out to get a better view of the battlefield. Players can also rotate the camera to get a different perspective.
Each player starts the game with a limited number of resources, which can be used to build nuclear silos, nuclear suppression devices, and conventional weapons. Players can also collect resources from neutral territories on the map.
Nuclear Weapons
Nuclear weapons are the most powerful weapons in Attrition: Nuclear Domination. They can destroy multiple enemy silos in a single blast, and they can also cause widespread damage to enemy infrastructure. However, nuclear weapons are also very expensive to build, and they can only be used a limited number of times.
Nuclear Suppression Devices
Nuclear suppression devices can be used to disable enemy nuclear silos for a limited period of time. This can give players a chance to regroup and rebuild their defenses. Nuclear suppression devices are less expensive than nuclear weapons, but they are also less powerful.
Conventional Weapons
Conventional weapons can be used to destroy enemy silos and infrastructure. They are less powerful than nuclear weapons, but they are also less expensive and can be used more frequently.
Diplomacy
In addition to military force, players can also use diplomacy to gain an advantage in Attrition: Nuclear Domination. Players can form alliances with other players, and they can also trade resources and technology. Diplomacy can be a powerful tool, but it can also be risky. If players are not careful, they can find themselves betrayed by their allies.
Graphics
The graphics in Attrition: Nuclear Domination are good, but not great. The game world is detailed and realistic, but the character models and animations are a bit simplistic. The game also suffers from some occasional frame rate drops.
Sound
The sound in Attrition: Nuclear Domination is excellent. The sound effects are realistic and immersive, and the music is suitably epic and atmospheric.
Overall
Attrition: Nuclear Domination is a solid missile command game with a lot to offer players. The game’s strategic gameplay, variety of weapons and units, and large-scale multiplayer battles make it a great choice for fans of the genre.
