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

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.

At first i didn't like it but as i kept messing around and playing i LOVED IT. The game is very very fun addictive and sometimes intense. Besides some lag problems the game is very fun. Plus the darkened areas are annoying when they are in the middle out the screen. Would be kind of cool if you added co-op with friends for more fun. Still VERY FUN ADDICTIVE GAME!!! ????????????????????

Great game. The shaking on first strike is annoying, and the darkened areas make it impossible to see. Still one of the best mobile games I've played. Despite what people say there's about one ad every half hour, and few glitches and lag even on an old, cheap, device like mine.

Great game! I always liked strategic war sims and this one is really addictive. I like the screen shaking when there are a lot of missiles making impact. The diplomacy and superweapons take a few games to really understand how to use them. The fog of war aspect is good too as it forces the player to use research. I have a couple more achievements to unlock and I will most likely purchase premium.

Great game. Who doesn't want to nuke the hell out of North Korea? Good time waster/taker. I started plying to kill some time, then I played non stop for an hour until I dominated the world. So addictive.

Z70%
by Z####:

Mostly good things to say of this game, but the AI is just so incompetent, even when a peace treaty is established they still want to bomb eachother, its idiotic. Theres also no way to negotiate with nations in a pre-established peace treaty.

Z70%
by Z####:

This game is fun if you like the Cold War. This isn't "Pay to Win" and it's amazing! Graphics are nice, mechanics are great and gameplay is great. It's easy (10 enemies is quite fun) and addictive. Hopefully you guys make more games !

Wow. That was the most intense 63 minutes of gaming I ever experienced. Brilliant. I dissagree with the developers philosophy, because a tool is a tool and no one would ever nuke anyone else because they know they will get nuked back, but hey.

Z70%
by Z####:

Love the game. Only problem I have is every so often when I win for the first time as a new contract mainly China, india and north Korea the game freezes and then does not save my progress. Other than that the game is fantastic.

A game that needs permissions to access and handle my phone calls has no right to be on my phone. I dont see why it needs does ridiculous app permissions its a game advertised as not spy my privacy. Change the permissions that it requests and il change my review. I uninstalled it instantly after i saw the permissions it requested

Z70%
by Z####:

Every action I made an ad popped up and after awhile just deleted the app. Honestly the game looked good but I couldn't grab the full experience without interruption and that's why I wouldn't buy the full version.. no chance for gameplay

Z70%
by Z####:

Great game, only problem is lag when you resume a game and between... the app may put an add which will restart the app and progress will get deleted. But I'm totally buying this game just hope their isn't this problem. Great job!

Z70%
by Z####:

Probably would have been great and i probably would have bought the premium version but..... after getting an advert every time i tried to do something i just gave up and deleted it. I want to be able to try something before i pay money for it but the amount of adverts just made it impossible.

This game is one of the best games on the App Store, if not THE best game ever to be on the App Store. The graphics are amazing. The gameplay is very refined, I never got bored of making world peace via pacts and then nuking it all with superweapons. What can I say that yasn't yet been said? It's a nuclear war simulator, turning our worst fears into great joy.

U70%
by U####:

I just LOVE this game! It has great graphics, and cane even keep up when there are a lot of things happening on the screen. Although the controls are a bit difficult to get used to when you start. Once you get the hang of it, the control of the game gets pretty smooth.

Z70%
by Z####:

What's with the unnecessary app permissions? You don't need to access my files, my location, or my phone calls for the game to run. No thanks.

Y70%
by Y####:

Thought this was a great game. The alliance system is great, except that your allies still attack you, and just leave the pact at random times, yet NPC pacts bare permanent. Just lost a match because both of my pact members launched a first strike at me. Fix this to at least give warning that someone left your pact.

I seem to be stuck, I play as europe. I have expanded and conquered the world. But there is no game end, am I missing something or is this a bug?

Once i got to Kazakhstan and killed all the other countrys the game just sits there. I sit the able to do anything but it wont let me beat Kazakhstan, not cool.

I love this game very addictive. But will give 5 star if u could just make all of the first stike versions online. But make an option if u want to play online or against bots plz. Thx very much.

I thought at first that it would be a broken app but it seems not to be. I can see that you may need a egvanst phone for it.

Beautiful game Iverymuch like it. But I want more in it .....I need more function. Game is very first to play....and some time globe is stop moving please fix it and tell me how I win the game

U70%
by U####:

Didn't even play it. Had too many ads. So disgusted, that by the time they were over, I had forgotten what the heck I was doing anymore. I was just stating at the screen, dumbfounded, incredulous as to what has just transpired. Have no idea if game is good or not, but I don't believe it could possibly be worth that. I normally don't write reviews, but after being subjected to this indignity, I felt I was owed. Shame on whomever programmed those ad placements, or whatever you call that unholy mess. Boo, bad show :(

Z70%
by Z####:

This is a really really amazing game, but there is a bug though. When every other nation surrendered I then couldn't do anything, mainly, the globe wouldn't rotate but I could still activate super weapons, first strike,etc. Still, nothing happens after that, just freeze there and I was stuck with an unmovable dead planet, the game wouldn't end apparently. Please fix.

Z70%
by Z####:

No multiplayer gets extremely boring.. just bots. Also the controls are horrible and not instructions at all just hints at what you can do but basically your on your own. Once you figure it out without a mod good luck.. it does get buggy so don't expect stuff you press on to work unless you keep pressing until it does. This is on a high end gaming phone.

Didnt even make it to the game was trying to pick out what weapon i wanted and had to watch a advertisement everytime i wanted to look at something. Way to much

Z70%
by Z####:

Blindflug's First Strike is the best strategy game on Android. At first glance, scroll lag and graphics may piss new players off, but when you sink your teeth into the game, the experience is really exciting and fun. For that reason, I will give this game my first ever 5/5. Mobile masterpiece.

H70%
by H####:

Game was unplayable due to an ad every 30 seconds. Deleted it in less than 5 minutes. Could be a fun game I dont know I spent 4 minutes watching ads.

Z70%
by Z####:

Pretty good game just one thing i cant kill North Korea or Russia one of them though but I cant kill neither of them i even tried leaving the pack each time i would try to use first strike on them they would fire instead of me using first strike. Other than that its a pretty good game 5/5

T70%
by T####:

Its good but... I would like to know who i am being hit by i would also like it if you could trade possibly also like to know when other countries join alliances and if you have enimes tell us (the players) and world population also have all the countries play

P70%
by P####:

It was really good! The graphics, the details, and more! But there seems to be a bug wherein if you quit and save the game and then play on your current progress its all messed up like in the diplomacy wherein you couldn't exit it because all of the countries and the back button is in one spot, even all the settings are messed up and its really annoying, i hope you could fix this so the experience would be better

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this. It really showed me how devastating nuclear war can be

Z70%
by Z####:

The game is great but likes to bug out. For example: I've occupied all of Africa twice and still haven't gotten the achievement. Furthermore, I'd love to see more nuclear powers and superweapons, perhaps some fictional ones? Maybe some alien power trying to conquer the world? I'd love to see more content.

Z70%
by Z####:

One of the best games I've played in years. The ads are not as bad as some say, you only have to watch them to unlock things or speed up stuff. Seriously considering the premium version, and I never pay for games. Great job Dev! Hope you guys keep updating this one. It's excellent!

Z70%
by Z####:

Excellent game it's got great graphics, good controls and game play. But the premium version is not available in India i hope you can make it available for us as quickly as possible.

Z70%
by Z####:

Absolutely love this game. I don't mind the adverts as it's not pay to win. But not 5 stars because of the bugs-Occupied all off Africa(can't proceed because not recognised), sometimes diplomacy menu can't exit,won the game but stuck on globe and occasionally not saving game. A few improvements could be made, a way of knowing how far each missile can travel, and being able to see more when on night side of planet, being able to link your devices. But a must play game. Great work, thanks.

M70%
by M####:

Too complicated, pointless, and boring. I got more of a thrill out of uninstalling this than actually playing it.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is a very fun game and captured the strategy and horror of a nuclear war. Unfortunately because of my eyes, the contrast in the game makes it hard for me to play. Of the developers could make a strategic version that looked like a digital map, I'd pay for it.

Z70%
by Z####:

I have ranked this down because i believe it shouldnt be trying to get permission to make / manage my phone calls... can you explain why?

O70%
by O####:

The best strat game but i have only one problem, I can't tell where is the enemy when I'm in 1v1 situation please help. By the way i cant also tell which rocket is im using. The rest is good

Upon startup I was interrupted by an ad. Immediately. It wasn't an ad you can skip either.
