Set your bearing. Adjust for wind. Hope your aim is better than theirs. M.A.D. - Mutually Assured Destruction is a modern 3D reimagining of the turn-based artillery duels you grew up with, rebuilt for up to 8 players across 4 teams, with a Cold War-era arsenal and beyond, ten tiers of AI, a full campaign, and online crossplay across VR and flatscreen, plus local hotseat. Plant your base. Read the wind. Lob a tactical missile, a cluster bomb, or a nuke across the map and watch the whole table fire at once. Last base standing wins. Play in VR or on a standard monitor — no headset required. Full crossplay between both. KEY FEATURES Up to 8 players, 4 teams - Host or join online games with friends, gather a crowd on one PC in pass-and-play hotseat, or mix both. Free-for-all or team up for the multiplayer mayhem this genre was made for. Play it your way - Fire simultaneously for chaotic all-at-once barrages, or go sequential and classic turn-based for the methodical duel. The match plays how you want it to. A real arsenal - Eleven distinct weapons drawn from Cold War-era ordnance and beyond: tactical missiles, bunker busters, bouncing bombs, cluster munitions, EMPs, mortars, cannons, the never-fires-the-same-way Crazy Ivan, and of course, nukes... and one that hits harder still. Fire single shots or unleash cinematic salvos that fill the sky with rocket trails. Offense beyond the warhead - Pop chaff over an enemy to scramble their defenses while your real barrage closes in, or send in orbiting drones to strafe with guns and missiles. Buy your defenses - It's not all offense. Invest in CIWS, point defense, flak to swat down drones, and permanent bunkers. Intercept incoming fire before it lands. Play together, any setup - Everyone jumps in from their own PC over Steam, in VR or on a monitor, and any flatscreen player can pass the controller to friends on the couch beside them. Up to 8 players, mixed however you like - headsets, monitors, and hotseat all in one match. 8 distinct battlefields - Rolling grasslands, rocky foothills, alpine knife-edge mountains, wind-blown dunes, a tropical island, low-ceilinged caverns that cap your firing arc, a lava-bleeding volcano, and fortress pillars floating above an endless cloud sea where you can't see where your misses land. Each one rewrites the fight. A battlefield that remembers - Shots leave craters across the terrain - track your fire, read the aftermath. The battlefield wears your war as it goes. Read the battlefield - Open maps give clean line-of-sight; mountains and caverns force you to master arc and power. Dial in map size, wind strength, and wind behavior (steady, breezy, or chaotic) to set your challenge. Day / Night / NVG - Fight under a blazing sun, a starlit sky, or through the green wash of night vision. Campaign mode - Climb from boot camp to five-star Battlefield Commander, learning every tool in the arsenal and earning medals along the way. Ten tiers of AI - From clueless recruit to terrifyingly precise, with AI that scales aim, weapon IQ, and tactics. Train up, then test yourself. Deep stats - Service records, war-room analytics, performance trends, per-weapon breakdowns, win streaks, and net war-chest profit. Track every shot. A NOTE ON CROSSPLAY SETUPS Each VR player needs their own PC - a headset can't also run a separate flatscreen seat at the same time. A single flatscreen PC, on the other hand, can host any number of pass-and-play hotseat players, up to the 8-player match cap. Check the System Requirements before you plan game night.
