Möbius Front '83 is a computer wargame developed and published by Zachtronics. It was released in November 2020.
Gameplay
[edit]In 1983, the United States is invaded by an alternate dimension version of itself. Players initially control the defenders, though they can play as the aggressor once they complete the single-player campaign. In multiplayer games, another player can control the Soviet Army.[1] It is turn-based and uses a hex grid, as in tabletop tactical wargames. Units do not have variable action points, but most units must choose between moving and attacking.[2]
Development
[edit]The game was inspired by US military manuals.[3] It was released November 5, 2020,[4] and multiplayer was added in January 2021.[1]
Reception
[edit]Tom Hatfield of PC Gamer wrote that Möbius Front '83 is accessible and makes wargames easy to understand, but it lacks exciting battles.[2] Joe Robinson of PCGamesN wrote, "Competent and challenging but not especially deep, this Cold War tactical romp also tends to get a bit dry and repetitive at times."[5]
