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

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.

Absolutely amazing but...

This game is great and always was great.
Only a few things: on the post game screen with the globe showing where all the explosions took place should be scrollable so that you can choose where you are looking at (very minor thing I know)
Also needs multiplayer. Would work with this game absolutely perfectly

Initially was fun and free, not so much anymore

I played this game a while ago, perhaps a year or more(?), and everything used to be available to earn by doing certain challenges (such as winning games with certain countries or using certain tactics), which was fun and encouraged players to continue with the game and work towards that one superpower or playable country they’d been wanting for a while

Now, however, it’s all just microtransactions, and unnecessary ones at that, as proven by the initial lack of paid content still managed to allow the game to grow in popularity for the right reasons, as the gameplay was fun and rewarding.

It’s sad to see that the game’s creators decided to capitalise upon their game’s decent success and introduce paywalls that kill the game’s enjoyment for casual players and puts people who won’t buy extra content at a disadvantage. On top of having advertisements, albeit less frequently than many other mobile games, which deserves to be acknowledged as something the developers did well, as we understand ads are sometimes a requirement for smaller developers to continue to work on their projects.

I would still recommend giving the game a try as the gameplay is fun, but it’s not as good as it used to be, and has much less replayability, more of a one and done type game as the gameplay is very repetitive without the old unlock system

TLDR: game used to be much more fun and rewarding to play, now riddled with microtransactions and heavy P2W

Best game ever but now not anymore (PLEASE READ)

so first why did you make it money to play as the US and other big country’s (one I am poor so I can’t enjoy this game anymore) and if you need income just make more games I really hope you can change this because this game was the best and if you do it again like it was free I think more people will come back to the game anyways I been playing for over 2 years now I really enjoyed this game and I would love it so much more if things were like the old days where you don’t need to spend money
