About First Strike

✦ AI summary

First Strike is a fast-paced real-time strategy game where you command a nuclear superpower, expanding territory, building devastating weapons, and negotiating alliances on a 3D globe.

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?

✦ AI summary

First Strike is an enjoyable fast-paced game that appeals to players looking for quick matches, though its diplomacy mechanics feel underdeveloped and lack depth. Several players report technical issues that require workarounds to play in a stable state, making it a mixed experience depending on your tolerance for troubleshooting; those willing to invest the effort may find it worth playing, while others should approach cautiously.

Enjoyable, wish the diplomacy tools/aspect was more fleshed out

If you have the patience and basic PC skills to go through the process mentioned in this guide (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3442525231), it's worth a buy. Otherwise, beware. It is not in a stable, enjoyable state without being reverted to a version before they broke it.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
