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.

it's fun to play an old favorite of mine again, but wow they fumbled the balance. In the past, nukes did far less damage and capitals were harder to destroy so that single state countries had a chance. I remember North Korea in particular had lots of health. But now, these balances are gone and most single state countries can get spawn killed by Russia. Also, diplomacy is no longer viable because for some reason this makes nations attack you. There are audio issues and overpriced. Still fun tho

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.

Really fun game, but freezes randomly and sometimes when i was playing, the land I expand have no missle bases, the only thing that land can do is to expand to other lands. Sometimes the whole continent becomes that. But the main reason for this rate is that today Google updated this game as the classic one, but what I bought and played is final hour, so this update replaces my final hour with the classics one. I've already unlocked almost all content, now all of my progress is lost.
