About First Strike

https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/587000/extras/FSFH_Steam_header1EN.png

Welcome commander, you are now in power of one of the biggest nuclear superpowers of the world. So choose your steps carefully, it’s a small path between war and peace.

First Strike is a fast-paced real-time strategy game which 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 like the USA to an upstart hellraiser like North Korea – and plan your strategy wisely: Expand to other countries, build bombs or dismantle in order to restructure your arsenal. Or use research to gain access to new nuclear technology, better recon intel, 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. First Strike shows you how little it takes to heat things up. You control the destiny of the precious and vulnerable rock floating through space, the rock we call mothership Earth.

 So, will you be the one remaining when the whole world blows to smithereens?

Tons of bugs, such as not being able to do anything if you minimize the game for a bit and come back to it, among other things. The fun game this was no longer exists. DO NOT GIVE THE DEVELOPERS YOUR MONEY FOR THIS GAME.

First Strike is a strategy game that takes one of humanity’s most frightening concepts, global nuclear warfare, and transforms it into a tense, thought-provoking experience. Developed and published by Blindflug Studios AG, the game places players in control of a nuclear superpower and asks them to navigate an increasingly unstable world where diplomacy, expansion, technological progress, and military preparedness are all connected to survival. Rather than focusing on traditional battlefield engagements, First Strike centers its gameplay around the management of nuclear arsenals and geopolitical influence, creating a distinctive strategy title that stands apart from more conventional war simulations. One of the game’s strongest qualities is its ability to create tension from relatively simple mechanics. Players begin by selecting a nation and gradually expand their influence through research, territorial growth, and strategic positioning. Every action carries weight because rival nations are constantly developing their own capabilities. A seemingly harmless expansion can provoke neighboring powers, while a delayed technological upgrade may leave a nation vulnerable when conflicts i…
