Mutually Assured Destruction is a Missile Command clone, updated in the modern idiom: polished graphics, cities with recharging shields and the upgrade grind that so many flash games mistake for a genuine difficulty curve. It’s a well-executed but ultimately traditional interpretation. However, the sound in this game is incredible. An apocalyptic Wagnerian score conveys the desperation of your defence. The chorus loops intensify until it feels the end of days is raining through your headphones. Explosions and missiles are crisp and pleasing too. The skilful use of sound elevates a good game to a truly great experience.
