Cold War
Cold War is a Real Time Strategy action game.
The game follows the story of a freelance journalist who finds
himself in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to
control the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a
routine story, he has been stripped of all possessions, beaten
unconscious and thrown into the KGB`s political prison.
Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, he must
now evade or overcome elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy
before he is sent to a Siberian prison camp or killed.
Cold War achieves a first in gaming history, by transporting
players inside a realistic depiction of some of the most well known
places of the Former USSR, a place which has captured the imagination
of the general public in books and films for generations, but has only
been lightly covered in electronic games. The game also distinguishes
itself by adding an invention system where the
player can use seemingly useless objects to create tools and weapons.
