Utopia Must Fall

For a game that is essentially a combination of Missile Command, Asteroids, and Space Invaders, Utopia Must Fall is a strangely moving little game at times. The story is told not through dialogue, but through various UI texts, upgrade descriptions, and of course, gameplay. After surviving your first day, the mood of your citizens stands at "99.9% optimism" and a message appears above your score for the day, "apocalypse averted!" You'll be seeing this message often, hopefully. The music is fairly energetic, optimistic even. You get your choice of upgrades, and even the opportunity to buy more nukes, which act both as a sort of currency and also your greatest means of survival. The citizens of your city propose a revised quarterly spending forecast to ensure fiscal responsibility post-invasion. By the end of the first week the international arms market collapses, leaving you with the options of either producing your own stockpile or risking your chances with cheap, unreliable nukes taken from unknown sources. By the time you reach the mid-game the music is more intense, the waves of invaders become more difficult to hold back. "99.9% optimism" turns into "78.4% pessimism." However, at this point you might have a decent stockpile of nukes, and you might even think you'll have a chance at surviving! That is, until you reach the end game. The music shifts into oppressive ambience as the invaders no longer hold back. "78.4% pessimism" simply turns into "widespread panic." The "apocalypse averted" now becomes "how are we still here?" As your nuclear stockpile dwindles the music changes once more - heavily distorted classical music blares as the invaders now attack in unmanageable waves. There's a weird sort of almost calm despite the chaos on screen as a bright red "DEPLETED" text flashes next to your crosshairs. You've done everything you could and now it's time to watch Utopia fall. The music swells as the last remaining nuclear fireballs fade into the black like fireworks as the city celebrates its last night. The city erupts in slow motion as the camera zooms in, showing personal items mixed in with the debris - a potted plant, a guitar, an umbrella. Eventually the camera comes to rest as a single button is displayed: [ACCEPT] And then after that you immediately hit restart to do another run because actually no the way you died was total BS and this time you'll totally get a higher score and- 10/10 would let utopia fall over and over again also this soundtrack has absolutely zero right to be as good as it is

This is definitely the true sequal to missile command. Its only early access, but its got a lot. The effects and sound are amazing. Definitely worth the price.

Time flies while playing this great game!

Very fun

losing feels random which is not good! feeling like you cant do anything to change your fate is not good!

To be honest I could definitely like to see more weapons and stuff, maybe rocket barrage that you have to click to unleash stockpiled load that increases over time in one go idk
