Description by Blindflug Studios AG(from Google Play)
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.
Recent changes: Service Update We’ve updated the game to fix a security issue in the Unity engine.

It's fun to play an old favorite of mine again, but wow they fumbled the balance. In the past, nukes did far less damage and capitals were harder to destroy so that single state countries had a chance. I remember North Korea in particular had lots of health. But now, these balances are gone and most single state countries can get spawn killed by Russia. Also, diplomacy is no longer viable because for some reason this makes nations attack you. There are audio issues and overpriced. Still fun tho

I really liked this game, it can be challenging at times, but overall it's fun.

This is one of the few games I would say even vaguely reminds me of Plague Inc. Help me understand the bad ratings? The mechanics are fascinating, and they reflect the World enough to be somewhat realistic. It IS hard to play as North Korea (especially on Hardcore mode) but why wouldn't it be? Is this leaking data or hacking devices or just not working? Am I a chump for playing it? Right now I'm only at 42% competition, so maybe my feelings will change later. 🤷

Is this game play tested at all? Have you guys tried completing hardcore mode with 1 nation countries like Iran and North Korea? Maybe you should test it before because no matter what we are getting destroyed by every other nation, spamming their weapon to all of our territories. I'm not implying that this game is hard, it is entirely luck based, and it makes us frustrated. I'm tired to restart the game until the AI by sheer amount of luck stop hitting us and actually play the game.

Currently, I have a pixel 8 and the game crashes after starting it. But otherwise this game is super. Fun, and I recommend that you play it.

Useless game. UI is not friendly at all, it is very quick paced for the player but not the AI and by the time you start having some missile, other nations are already 10 steps after you and launch a first strike on all your nations. These devs don't test their useless games.
