About Nuclear Dawn
Nuclear Dawn is a groundbreaking multiplayer game that seamlessly combines first-person shooter (FPS) and real-time strategy (RTS) elements into a single, cohesive experience. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, players can choose to fight on the ground as a soldier or take command from above as a strategic commander. This unique blend ensures that both action and strategy fans find depth and excitement without compromise.
As a soldier, you'll explore war-torn urban landscapes modeled after modern cities. Choose from three infantry classes—armored, assault, or stealth—each with distinct loadouts and over a dozen weapons. Combat is fast, tactical, and rewards skill over twitch reflexes. With ten loadouts per class, you can adapt your playstyle to counter enemy tactics and achieve objectives.
Step into the commander role to orchestrate your team's victory. Build structures, manage resource routes, research technologies, and deploy devastating strikes. Organize players into squads and assign tactical objectives. The RTS layer is fully integrated, allowing commanders to construct defensive and offensive fortresses that directly impact the FPS battlefield.
The game features two distinct factions—the Empire and the Consortium—each with unique base-building paradigms. With six large, detailed maps built on the Source engine (L4D2 branch), 32-player squad-based warfare, and a progression system with 60 ranks and weapon unlocks, Nuclear Dawn offers deep replayability. Steam Workshop support and an SDK enable custom maps and community content.
Nuclear Dawn supports Steam Play, making it available on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX with Steam Cloud. Whether you prefer leading from the front or commanding from the rear, this title delivers a truly hybrid experience that redefines multiplayer warfare.
