The Cold War Era
The Cold War Era isn’t over, it’s just beginning
Military might, stealthy spies, blatant propaganda, and high-tech Space Race marvels are all at war game lovers’ fingertips when they choose to play as the U.S.A. or the U.S.S.R. and rewrite history in The Cold War Era.
TCWE is a single player RTS strategy game based on the epic conflict between the Americans and the Soviets spanning the 1950s through the 1990s. Within one hour of gameplay players will course through four decades of contention, paranoia, secrecy, and the overarching the “us vs. them” mentality.

这是一款冷战新作。冷战题材策略游戏不多，我对于每一个冷战题材的游戏都不轻易给出差评，这种同情心出自20年前和小伙伴们多次在铁幕降下的欧洲地图上进行纸上推演的难忘经历，这使得我很渴望类似的游戏。不过，这个游戏很boring，独立制作并不能开脱些什么，本可以做出十分精彩的界面、通过共产主义和自由主义这种惊心动魄的政权更迭和意识形态氛围渲染来抓住人心，那里有革命、游行或是骚乱可以尽情操纵，要知道，让世界在两大主义之间摇摆是一个很值得享受的过程，现在偏偏做成网页游戏一样失去了应有的“色彩”，地图也恨不得连颜色都不要涂了，也许是自知美工太差，连一些主要活动的图标都不能大大方方的展现出来。尽管如此，渐渐的你仍会发现它的乐趣，这款游戏正如某些人不可貌相一样，隐藏太深，以至于很多人在第一眼之后拒之门外而无从发掘。和几乎所有的策略游戏一样，精髓同样在于有限资源的优化分配，只是它更简单粗暴了一些，赤裸裸了一些，缺乏变数了一些，没有了形同Twilight Struggle那样极具代入感的包装过程和充满变数的卡牌。但无论如何，我愿意给它一个好评，直到我不能忍受的那一天再过来更新。
