“This game puts a new spin on one of the most tumultuous and tense periods in world foreign relations and assumes that all went horribly wrong!” said Jay Podilchuk, Producer at Strategy First.

“We are extremely happy that North American gamers will now have the chance to play “Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath,”” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, International Sales Director at 1C Company. “As this title is already extremely popular amongst European gamers, I’m sure it will receive a warm welcome overseas.”

“Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath” thrusts players into a world ravaged by the military-political confrontation between the USA and USSR in 1962. The game offers a different interpretation of the events that followed the famous global standoff over the small island nation. In “Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath,” the two cold-war powerhouse nations unleash their nuclear arsenal on the world, leveling Cuba and turning it, along with the majority of the world, into a radioactive desert. The remaining world citizens thus find themselves in a war fighting for their very survival…

“Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath” is a real-time strategy game combined with a turn-based global strategy mode, forcing players to use tactical troop movements while managing their resources and armies. With all the gameplay one has come to expect from the Blitzkrieg engine, gamers’ that enjoyed such titles as “Sudden Strike” and “Blitzkrieg” are going to jump right into this title. In “Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath,” not only will players’ be able to enjoy all their familiar tactics, they will be introduced to way more metal as they field post WWII armaments and weapons of mass destruction!
