How it feels

A brisk, cerebral wargame where every turn demands careful unit positioning and resource management to outmaneuver a capable opponent.

What players say

Players say Headquarters Cold War is essentially a reskin of its WWII predecessor, reusing sounds and keeping the same feel. The game suffers from crashes and AI that sometimes sits idle, while helicopters are considered overpowered and the objective to find a single hidden unit is widely disliked.
