About this game

Millions of commanders already played First Strike all over the world. Now it is back as First Strike: Classic: The complete rebuild of the iconic strategy game about blowing up the world in the nuclear armageddon. This remaster is more stable, more cunning in its enemies and the best First Strike we ever made.

====================

Escalation is a downward spiral.

A nuclear armageddon is no one’s dream scenario. So choose your steps carefully, it’s a small path between war and peace. FIRST STRIKE is a great strategy simulation featuring snappy gameplay and an intuitive interface that makes dropping the big one as easy as ABC. But be sure to take the right measures to guarantee your people’s safety.

Pick one of the big nuclear players – from known Superpowers to an upstart hellraiser like North Korea – and plan your strategy wisely: Limited but clever options let you as the leader of your superpower steer your nation’s fate: Expand to other countries, build bombs or debuild in order to restructure your arsenal. Or use research to widen your options, such as: Ability to act quicker and build bigger bombs, better recon on your enemies actions, automated self-defense-sequences and many more.

Whether you’re a bloodthirsty warmonger or a tree-hugging hippie – it’s time to put your cards on the table. A quick and fun game with beautiful graphics, FIRST STRIKE shows you how little it takes to heat things up. With the tip of your finger you can control the destiny of the precious and vulnerable rock floating through space, the rock we call mothership Earth.

Great game. "Would you like to play a game?" 😂 However I've rated 3 stars as the continue saved game does not work. A game takes a while and requires focus, so not being able to resume a game in action is bad. If you leave the app running in background and go back to it it's fine. Also I won the game and it froze, gutted as I started as NK hard mode. I've posted the same review in the free version as I guess it's the same.

Took a while for me to get used to the controls, maybe there should be a mini tutorial or some sort? It would certainly be of help for the people who quit the game early bc the actual flow of the game wasn't explained in detail and so they thought the game was boring. It's actually very fun, takes a lot of patience and quick thinking. Is there an option where I can turn off the shaking effect when bombs hit the ground? It makes my phone slow and glitchy. Using a redmi5.

There's a secret ending to this game in any of the matches you play and it took me months to figure it out but I'm glad I did, it actually left me quite surprised/stunned once I achieved it. An absolutely excellent game, very polished and the gameplay and story is superb. Congrats! One little bug note, sometimes the display gets stuck on a country midway during expanding, or while building or cooling down with a missile. The task will complete and you can use it, but the graphic gets stuck.
