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.

Ratings and reviews

Love the concept. Work the bugs out and you can have your 5 stars. The first game I beat I could not actually get the win. I owned every country on the entire globe. All other powers were shown as dead and it's just a never ending game. There also seem to be some graphical errors. Very hard to tell who owns which plots of land. Also there should be an easier way of having countries build missiles. The current setup is great at the beginning. But once you expand out there is no way to keep up with it all. Maybe that's intended as part of the game.

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.

Simply amazing, but lacked some more stuff to do if you unlocked pretty much everything or 90 percent of it. Don't get me wrong, AMAZING RTS game and basically my favorite, but could use more updates, maybe multiplayer, as well as more governments or gamemodes. You could add so much to this, and it's crazy. This game is awesome, and the funnest game I have ever played and I really wish there was more to it.
