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.

This game would be very fun but it never warns you when an enemy nation is firing missiles on you so if you're dealing with one part of your nation, the other part could be getting destroyed without you realizing it. This becomes less of a problem when you have automatic ads but I noticed that a few times it stopped working entirely even though I had the upgrade and plenty of cruisers. Please fix these problems as it's really hard to enjoy and I will raise my rating and keep playing the game.

I'm pretty much on OG and I've had a lot of experience with bugs in this game in the past. With the new update some went away but it brought new one that make the game less fun. First of all, if you open the diplomacy menu in early game, it gets stuck on peace talks the bar does not go up niether does the bar when researching or building a missle. Also, if you play with more than 5 enemies, they all focus YOU. You cant win because of them teaming even if they are not in a peace pact!!. Plz fix!!

This game was a favorite of mine, easy 5 stars, so much fun and everything was unlockable through gameplay, it was close to perfect. Then they updated it, changed some things, added some things, and I lost all my progress. Okay no big deal I'll just unlock it all again, games update it happens. And now it's ruined. So much of the game, and I mean a huge piece of it, are locked behind a pay wall. Even if you had it before, not anymore. Makes me sad and angry to see another good game fall to greed

Used to be my favorite game of all time until they started updating it. Lost all my unlocked items, ok nbd I'll do it again, come back a year later and it is the biggest scam. Every single item I owned is locked behind a pay wall whether it's a subscription or individual item transactions. Maybe I would consider a one time payment for a game if they didn't constantly delete my progress and and a huge pay wall that could end up with me paying hundreds of $$ for a mobile game. What a far fall...

everything is amazing. from gameplay to graphics but do you have to put an ad at the end of each win. it freezes the game and I dont always get that achievement I had been playing for 30 minutes for. I feel like I didnt achieve anything. that sucks for such a great game. I'm cool with some ads but just move the one from the end of the win.

This used to be one of the best games imaginable. There was no fault to be found. It had no bugs and glitches, no paywalls, no disruptive ads (keyword, disruptive), and everything was great. Now, they're ruining it. Not even worth trying anymore. Paywalls everywhere, bugs and lag galore, and all my progress is gone. And the worst part? I have to pay 13 bucks just to go back to what I used to enjoy. 13 isn't a big number, sure, but come on. At least give us veteran players a freebie on that one..

was once a good game, had a good challenge for all nations, and challenge progression was very balanced in my opinion, but i came back to the game after a few months and now the challenge progression is gone and replaced by a paywall and all previously unlocked nations are gone. waste of my time. will consider re-installing if the old progression comes back

I want to start with, it's an absolutely great game. Lots of fun... but... first day I've played it since they went full monetization, I bought some items because the game is worth the purchase... then I opened the app again some hours later and I lost my purchases. I never got money back as if I may have accidentally restored purchases. Every time I close the app and open it later on, I lose everything.

I remember playing this game a ton a few years ago. It was really fun, you could unlock pretty much everything through progression and completing challenges. I came back to check out the game again, and I was very disappointed. Pretty much everything is locked behind a paywall. All the powers and superweapons I used to use are all paid now. It's just a disgusting attempt at monetizing the game and it was done very poorly. Unfortunately, I don't recommend playing this until this is improved.

Honestly. I understand you make money to update off the game, but I mean I haven't played much, but from what I see. All the good countries and powerful ones and special ones. Etc, all require money. Don't get me wrong it's nothing expensive what so ever, but the 4 you start with. I wish you could get maybe 2 more. But that's just me...maybe unlock them for doing the objectives on the other 4. Other then that! Great. Game. Very strategic in it's manner of lightning strike styled planning.Love it

Used to be my favorite mobile game to kill time, especially without internet connection. It was very fun and very rewarding to complete the challenges and unlock all the superpowers and their respective weapons. Now everything is locked behind a pay wall, there is no reward or sense of improvement, and there's no point to play. Make the old stuff unlockable again and maybe people would buy maybe one or two pay-to-play updates. Never playing again until this is fixed, and I'm not the only one.

Intense and challenging! The soundtrack and strategy aspects are also great but the game needs to be a lot brighter. It is quite dark/moody and hard to see your territories/countries as well as other enemies. Also, could you make the game more flexible when it comes to pregame and ingame options? I think there are to little. Overall, a good game!

it's a good game, but I wish they could tweak it a little. for example, having the ability to go to a flat map instead of constantly spinning the globe keep track of things gets tiresome. also, distinguishing your forces from an enemy's forces that are side by side via different color maybe would be helpful. the game has the feel of the movie War Games, with considerably better graphics, and better options. could be a great game if they fix these minor issues.

Samsung Galaxy S8: Tutorial does a lot of explsnation but for some reason, it just doesn't come across as very intuitive in the application. I am not able to get controls worked out to be able to target opponents, to attack. I really am not complaining of 'losing' as I haven't got beyond the controls. tap target, cross hair/target pops up, confirm attack, I do so,.. nothing happens, or I get two, three, targets layered in place, and that's just for starts,..

This was one of my favorite games not too long ago. It really fulfills every checkmark in quality and looks, with high marks in gameplay. However, some time ago, the developers implemented a paywall behind everything. Sure, there is more stuff, but it is behind a paywall. Everything after game 5 or so is really behind a paywall, you get three places to start, and then you play through the game with the same strategy decently easily (with the limits of free version the hardest mode is very easy)

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.

Great game to kill time and keep your mind going. Only critical issues I'm seeing is first that there isn't quite enough variety between game modes and skills to use for matches, other issue is that the game tends to crash while in matches after a period of time. Those things aside it is a great game.

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.

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.

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.
