App summary

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.

Galaxy S22 Ultra: Currently unplayable as it crashes after loading starting/loading a game. Worked for a short time after upgrading to this phone but it has suddenly stopped; I see a majority of the other S22 reviews are similar if not the same. Galaxy S10+: Fun time killer, super addicting! Gameplay is smooth and feels balanced. Controls are easy and manageable. Definitely recommend.

This game is unplayable in 2022. Iran is impossible on hardcore with JUST 8 countries alone. I can't imagine it with 10 countries. The game is unbeatable because of this one country atleast. The devs really screwed up something along the way, I remember it used to be beatable but no way bro not in 2022. Absolutely ruined, uninstalled the game I thought would stay forever, and won't be going to the new free updated one.

It isn't a completely bad game, don't get me wrong. It can be fun, but it's just ruined by the developer. This game is abandoned for the F2P version, it won't be getting any new content, and is very very overpriced. With how much the game costs you can get one of the ported Total war games or CoH. Tldr; Not worth the price for the gameplay, and it will not be updated.
