Warcraft 2000: Nuclear Epidemic

About

Warcraft 2000: Nuclear Epidemic is a real-time strategy game where players build bases, gather resources, and command armies in a world overrun by a deadly virus. Developed by GSC Game World before their Cossacks series, it blends base construction, unit management, and direct combat across destructible terrain. The campaign follows a post-apocalyptic conflict between military factions, while multiplayer matches emphasize fast-paced RTS action. This title stands out as a forgotten early attempt by GSC to enter the Western RTS scene, using an engine refined for later projects. Its nuclear-themed setting and focus on aggressive playstyles differentiate it from contemporaries. Though not a commercial hit, it remains a curiosity for fans of 90s strategy games and the studio’s development history.
