Review Missile Command Delta (Switch) - Good Foundations Lost In The Narrative Rubble
Debunker'd
Missile Command Delta, from developers Mighty Yell (The Big Con) and 13AM Games (Runbow), is an experience of two halves. The first is a turn-based strategy take on the classic Dave Theurer-developed arcade game Missile Command; one that shouldn’t work in theory, but genuinely does. The second is a misguided attempt to add context to...

News Atari Is Bringing Back 'Missile Command' But With A Brand New Twist
"Delta? Come in Delta..."
Atari cannot stop reviving its classic arcade titles at the moment, and we keep lapping them up. This time around, the legendary developer and publisher has teamed up with Canadian studios Mighty Yell and 13AM Games to bring back the 1980 shoot 'em up Missile Command. Missile Command Delta is a brand new, turn-based...
About The Game
Missiles are incoming. The stakes are high. Only you can stop the destruction.
The teams at Mighty Yell and 13AM Games have taken one of Atari’s most iconic titles and created a high-pressure, tactical turn-based game where players must manage their pool of defenses strategically to survive rounds of incoming missiles.
Missile Command Delta approaches gameplay in a completely new way, but it retains all the tension and suspense of the arcade original. You have to think strategically about every move you make because even one poor choice can have grave consequences. The turn-based strategy game is wrapped in a twisting, narrative thriller – great for mystery fans, completionists, and players that love to explore and solve puzzles.
Between inbound missile alerts, investigate the underground bunker to access locked rooms, uncover secrets, and strengthen your arsenal. Will you be able to unravel the mystery in time?
FEATURES
- Turn-Based Strategy: A totally unique strategy experience. New missile and enemy types are uncovered when you explore deeper into the bunker.
- Plan Your Defense: Every turn is critical, and one poor choice can spell disaster. Plan your next move, and map out a cascade of explosions that take out multiple enemy missiles to help conserve your resources.
- High-Stakes Mystery: The turn-based strategy game is wrapped in a high-stakes narrative puzzle. Read every document, watch your every step, and ace every puzzle if you want to [REDACTED].
- Experience the Cold War: A claustrophobic retro-future aesthetic of dusty command consoles and supercomputers place you deep into Cold War paranoia.

It took a little bit to wrap my head around, but if you enjoy games like Myst (particularly, RealMyst), and turn-based strategy, this is absolutely the game for you. It manages to convey the absolutely riveting anxiety of the original Missile Command, in an entirely different skin. Honestly, my favorite game of 2025. I plan to replay it again to discover all 6 possible endings!
I just won the game for the SECOND time last night, and oh man... the endings are WORTH IT! Definitely a 9/10 (even though I gave it a 6.5/10 when I first started the game - that shows that the reviewer may not have spent enough time with the game to appreciate it's mechanics), and a classic! One of the greatest games released in 2025!
