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

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

The content price change is understandable. I do understand the price change, but it is impossible to play the game without buying things, but the game is free. It's like getting a car for free, but you only got the frame, and you have to buy everything else. While I understand, it would be nice to simply add more paid things that aren't necessary, perhaps add ads. Anyways, the game is quite entertaining, but the price change upsets me.

I love this game. I can play for hours. All the superpowers and super weapons are fun to mix and match. My favorite way to play is as the United States and have the stealth bomber and hypersonic missile as my super weapons. The TSAR Bomba is decent, but impractical near endgame. Of course, all my experience on this come from before you had to pay for the superpowers, but paying is definitely worth it. Multiplayer is fun to, especially when you drag your friends into it.

I used to love this game until they locked almost every playable country behind a pay wall. That and the fact that the enemy ai gives up far too easily. Oh, and they removed diplomacy as well as the ability to speed up time. The superior original version, with all of the content, is now 13 dollars. This "new" version doesn't add anything except a bunch of useless underpowered factions you can't play as anyway. Why did this version remove so much content? Why's the originally free game $13 now?
