Nuclear Dawn is a post-apocalyptic first-person shooter real-time strategy hybrid video game. It was originally announced in February 2006 as an amateur mod for the Source engine,[3] but in April 2009 was revealed to have become a commercial project, still using Source, aimed at Windows PCs and Mac OS X. It was released on September 26, 2011.[1]
Gameplay
One player on each team is a 'commander', who directs the team from an overhead view. The remainder are soldiers who have standard FPS player capabilities. Drivable vehicles were originally planned, however this was cut due to issues.[4][5]
