Description

What if communism lasted forever?

In this gripping alternate history DLC for ICBM: Escalation, the Soviet Union emerges from the Second World War stronger, smarter, and far more ruthless. The politburo has tightened its grip, forged a stable superstate, and is ready to reshape the world, by diplomacy, domination, or devastating nuclear fire.

Set in 1950, just five years after the end of the Great Patriotic War, Endless October plunges players into a world where the Cold War burns hotter and longer. The USSR detonated its first nuclear bomb only four years after the U.S. and now, Korea becomes the first major flashpoint in a decades-long global struggle.

Take command of the Soviet Union and lead it through a sprawling campaign that spans the 20th century and beyond. Forge alliances, provoke conflicts, and rain destruction on capitalist enemies as you aim to raise the Red Banner over every continent.

Long live the revolution. Endless October has begun.

Great Commi Campaign! A lot of fun and actually more intresting about alternative history. Little Nukes can be used in some missions, without running into a nuclear cemetery. Realy great! Hopefully we get in future a

Too many bugs and too high difficulty, curious if the production team has played this DLC....

Campaign is way too hard. AI just gets huge numbers of units for free. I can't speak to how fun any missions are past the first one because after 6 tries I can't beat it.

The DLC is actually impossible without mods like Doom Sandbox. You get "40mins" to transport 3 missiles to Cuba... each take 10 mins to make and its over 20mins to get there. The game is literally impossible. If even

This DLC not only adds the RU campaign, but also faction-specific 3D models for skirmish. Not sure why they didn't advertise that. I'd love to see more faction DLCs like this!
