Nuke Them All brings back the old concept of a battle between a red and blue army of robots, but stays back behind its ambitions. With a simple tutorial, obscure upgrades, and technical issues, it doesn't offer enough motivation for long-term play.
Introductory Impression and tutorial
Nuke Them All presents a fight between the red and blue robot armies. However, the game seems outdated and doesn't provide enough motivation to keep playing. The tutorial is simple, but it does not sufficiently introduce you to unit functions and base-building strategies.
Problems with upgrading and missing information
When attempting to upgrade bases, it is not clear what specific benefits this will bring. The upgrade process is reduced to a simple double-click without the game providing details about costs, requirements or strategic benefits. There is also a lack of comprehensive information about unit production and the importance of capturing flags.
Problems with artificial intelligence and pathfinding
Units' artificial intelligence often fails, especially in environments with obstacles. Unit controls are unintuitive, making it difficult to plan and performance in the game.
Visual and technical flaws
The game's graphical style is inconsistent and visually unimpressive, which is typical of older Flash games. The game often suffers from technical issues, including frequent crashes, which greatly diminish the user experience.
Sandbox mode as a bright side
Sandbox mode offers players the opportunity to experiment with different scenarios and strategies, which adds significant value to the game. This mode is more entertaining than the campaign itself and should be encouraged more.
Summary and recommendations
Nuke Them All tries to offer an interesting concept, but falls short of meeting the expectations of modern gaming. Instead, it feels like a relic of the past with unsatisfying gameplay and technical issues that hinder the overall user experience.
