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

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.

Ratings and reviews

This game would be perfect with a few minor changes. I know the developers were concerned with profitability, so the monetization was somewhat understandable. However, I would like to be able to play as any country for free again (particularly the USA). You should also consider adding a simple naval vessel mechanic in which players would be able to build ports and subsequently submarines and/or destroyers, and you should really fix the excessively sensitive hit box of the cities.

The game is pretty good, it's based on a map in which you get to choose your country, in the game, the main goal is to defeat and conquer other territories and people. There are a limited selection of countries though, majority you are required to purchase, but no worries. You can bypass that by doing a multiplayer game, there is a large selection of secret weapons you can develop. I recommend downloading, if you have any issues post it in review and the Devs can reach out to you.

If I had more space, I'd get into the nitty gritty of the new paywall. Long story short, I don't like the fact that I have to pay for things that were previously free, but I understand the need to make money. What I would recommend, as a consumer, is to start adding more features that are new, add depth, and exciting, and perhaps put them in as paid DLC. For example, adding RTS elements like navies and armies would be very intriguing and fun. Also, adding this game to consoles would be amazing.
