Pobedograd, Soviet Union - June 22, 2012 - Every child knows the glorious story that lead to today. When the Capitalist Alliance lead by the Americans refused to allow our defensive screen in Cuba, in 1962, and then attacked us with nuclear weapons. However our Motherland and the Soviet Forces were better prepared than the dogs knew. We leveled them, and half the planet, to show our sickle is sharp and the hammer hits hard indeed!
While the Americans celebrated that they reduced Moscow to rubble, our air defenses kept the city from becoming ash. Almost the entire planet surface was contaminated by their bombs, but it didn't matter as we had moved underground days before. The Soviet Union did what we have always done, survived. The country underwent a massive evacuation of the most important citizens, leaders and industries to a pre-built network of specifically equipped bunkers.
It's 50 years later, 2012, and our glorious capital city, Pobedograd (Victory City), is a beacon of hope. It's time to go outside again brothers and sisters, time to see what has become of our Motherland and her proud cities and towns. Grab a weapon and join us!
This is the reality of Nuclear Union, an upcoming RPG-shooter set in an alternate reality if the Cuban Missile Crisis had been solved by force, and if the U.S.S.R had emerged victorious. Think Fallout from the communist perspective, and without Malcolm McDowell playing the president.
Whatever survived from the fallout has since gone underground. Now, 50 years later, you'll make your way above ground, armed with futuristic Soviet armaments; it's now up to you to secure the territory in the name of Mother Russia.
Nuclear Union is set to be released for PC in 2013.
