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.

There aren't many nuclear war simulators out there, but this one hits the nailnl right on the head. It's easy to learn, fun to play, and has plentiful amounts of destruction. The only issue I have with the game is the lack of content. It is at a fair price of $1.00, but still, it doesn't have enough super weapons nor does it have enough content overall to keep me occupied for a while. I will love this game, but I just wish for the game to be updated often and have content added maybe once a month, just so I have something to keep playing for.

Last Hour is no different than the free version of the game. There's no reason I should pay for this when there are so many bugs too. Whenever you finish a game the screen freezes and you have to quit the game to do anything. Sometimes allies attack you for no reason and still remain as allies after. The original concept is good but there are so many bugs that I'm giving this 2 stars instead of the 4 it should be

Great game, difficult to manage manufacturing & defending. Nice amount of civilisations, great abilities & design. Worth a try and buy, a steal at the current price. Would be great with simplified building & defending, however it does add an edge to the game. I think it would be great to highlight your own nation at all times, found it hard to see where I had control without the reveal. Couldn't look away while playing!
