If you liked DEFCON – ADMIRAL : Battle for Uranium Review

Get this. You might also want to try Wargames from the Amiga and Nuclear War for the Amiga. And DEFCON for PC if you haven't heard of it. You might also enjoy Wargame on the Appstore. Onto the main part of the game. Do you remember iSubs? That game was pretty much DEFCON on the iPhone. The basis of this game is similar, but different. Gameplay takes place on a large light up board, like the kind seen in Wargames or Dr. Strangelove, with the goal being to Nuke your enemies. The key to nabbing credits, which are used to buy more Subs, activate your Country's Special Weapon, create Nuclear Shields which will defend a single city from 1 Nuke, and, unsurprisingly, Launch Nukes. Here are where the differences between iSubs and Battle for Uranium come in. Unlike iSubs, you are now able to choose which country you want to play as, each Country yielding a different Special Weapon. For example, Russia can place 3 floating Mines around one of it's factories, while South America can deploy an Electrical charge near some of thier Submarines. North America is still stuck with Bombers, but is the only country that allows you to deploy them. Something I noticed, is that other AI Countries only use Bombers, and seemingly don't have access to their unique Weapon. Other differences include the cost of things. Subs are still 100 Credits, while the cost of your Special Weapon will vary. Shields are now around 250 to 300 Credits, while Nukes are up to 400 from 350. The game is also notably more difficult than iSubs, and Credits also seem to Generate more slowly. The basics of Launching a Nuke are still the same: Place the center of the screen over your desired target, and press the Nuke Icon in the lower left. Provided the Enemy hasn't put up a Shield, the City will be destroyed or heavily damaged. Cities are requiredfor two reasons: Launching Nukes and housing your Country's Population. If Nuked, you can no longer Launch Nukes from it, and you lose a good portion of your Population. Subs are used for capturing Factories, which provide Credits. You will start the game with 1 Factory and a large number of Subs. Since this is pretty much the Dev's way of updating iSubs, there's not much to dislike, aside from the fact that you pretty much have to purchase iSubs again. But it is nice having access to two versions of the game at the same time. Anyways, this is a great game, and you'll probably like this if you liked iSubs. I reccomend trying the Lite versions of both games if you don't own either.
