Choose one of twelve nuclear superpowers and lead it through a fast-moving struggle for survival on a globe-spanning map. Rival powers compete for territory and build their own arsenals as the balance between peace and war shifts.
Expand into other countries, construct rockets and missiles, or dismantle weapons in your arsenal. Track rival activity and launch attacks or defenses across the globe as the conflict develops in real time.
Research new nuclear technology, including improved reconnaissance and automated defenses, and pursue alliance-specific superweapons. You can also seek non-attack pacts with other powers; the game supports single-player and multiplayer matches.
Players who enjoy First Strike often praise its distinctive nuclear-strategy premise and its accessible, quick-to-play approach to real-time strategy. Some find the shifting threat of rival strikes tense and enjoy choosing powers, weapons, and development paths; others appreciate the theme of disarmament. These positives sit alongside frequent complaints about bugs and progression problems.
