The fear that the cold war would turn hot and potentially become World War 3 was an ever-present shadow in the lives of many people during the Cold War era. The question of what would have happened exactly if the war had turned hot has been examined in various forms.
‘Afterconflict’ pits the forces of the Warsaw Pact and NATO against each other in a bitter fight for survival towards the end of the Third World War, which was ignited when the tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States of America reached a breaking point and caused all hell to break loose.
There are a number of key elements to ‘Afterconflict.’ These include:
- Factions
- Teamwork
- Unique firearm operation
- Location
- Wear and tear
- Equipment
Players can choose from a number of factions to play within NATO and the Warsaw Pact, including the United States, East Germany, and Yugoslavia among others.
Each faction has equipment and weapons unique to their faction, such as the M16 assault rifle for the US and the AK-47 in the Eastern European factions. Equipment and weapons will become more used and potentially less functional over time, depending on the severity of the wear and tear.
Players must coordinate the attacks well to ensure strategic and military supremacy in their battles and ultimately in the war. They will be able to play in a variety of locations in Europe, with each map being large enough to allow free maneuvering and strategic gameplay.
‘Afterconflict’ is developed by ‘Afterconflict Development’ and is available on Steam.
