FLASHPOINT

What is FLASHPOINT?

Flashpoint is a 2 player local and online multiplayer game of total war. Command your faction's ground, air, and sea forces to invade the opponent's territory, nuclear strike their infrastructure and cities with your unbreakable nuclear triad, and force them to capitulate.  With air, sea, ground and space units, punishing mechanics, and crushing turn based combat, Flashpoint will test your endurance in a war with no winners.

How to play:

WASD to move your camera. Click on units to interact with them. Any text with [SQUARE BRACKETS] are telling you controls, e.g. [SPACE] to fire ICBMs from silos.

At the start of the game, you get starting funds to place your initial units. Buildings cannot move, and can be captured by the other player. Ground units can capture territory, but are weak to air support and slow. Air units have to be placed in, and launched from, an airbase or carrier, but they are fast and can deliver nukes or provide close air support (before they run out of fuel that is, you can land back at an airbase at low altitude to negate this). Sea units are very powerful, allowing you to land troops, launch planes and fire nukes covertly from the sea, but must be placed near a shipyard, and are weak to submarines. Space units mostly provide support, with satellites providing massive radar coverage as they orbit overhead. Your goal is to capture the enemies territory and cities, destroy any industrial capacity they have so they cannot defend themselves, and ultimately be the last to surrender!
