Release Date: July 8, 2025
A hybrid of a turn-based tactical and a first-person adventure. Missile Command Delta was inspired by the cult shoot'em up from the 1980s, but features brand new gameplay. We can repel missile attacks in turn-based mode when playing on a board. There is also an option to explore our bunker and to learn its mysteries.
The first Missile Command game was a shoot'em up that first appeared on arcade machines, and then made its way to Atari platforms (finally also landing on Game Boy). Over the years it has seen new incarnations, which, while remaining faithful to the original, have introduced various changes (primarily in terms of audiovisual presentation).
Missile Command Delta described here is a result of the collaboration between 13AM Games and Mighty Yell studios, as well as Atari. It borrows only the base idea from the original, transferring it to the canvas of a production that combines adventure and tactical genres.
In Missile Command Delta we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP).
The game takes us to the Missile Command bunker, and our primary goal is to repel enemy missile attacks. The gameplay takes place on a board covered with a grid of hexagonal fields, displayed on the screen of a retro-futuristic computer.
We play in turn-based mode and we have to manage our arsenal, trying to do it in such a way as to knock down as many enemy missiles as possible in one fell swoop, while saving our own. In order for us to succeed, we need to create chain reactions and cause cascading explosions.
Responding to missile alarms is not our only task in this game. Between the next attacks, we can freely explore the bunker and investigate its secrets. By gathering clues, solving puzzles, and gaining access to subsequent rooms, we learn more about this place and the game world, gradually getting to know the story woven around the threat of global annihilation.
The graphic design of Missile Command Delta was made in cel-shading technique and maintained in a comic book style.

Game Ratings for Missile Command Delta Video Game.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
It may sound a bit all over the place, but in practice this is a nicely paced and thoughtfully done game that manages to draw a lot from an old school Atari classic.
NintendoWorldReport: 8 / 10 by Neal Ronaghan
What ties Missile Command Delta together is the overall mystery and with that, the game becomes greater than the sum of its parts. The turn-based Missile Command adaptation wouldn't stand strong by itself, but combining that with the bunker exploration, endearing characters, and generally strong writing makes a fun adventure that will make you consider an arcade classic in a new light.
Video Chums: 4 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski
Missile Command Delta definitely isn't what I expected it would be but that's great because it really launched a missile straight to my heart. ??
