First Strike

FIRST STRIKE is a fast paced real time strategy game where you play one of the twelve biggest nuclear superpowers of the world – from known superpowers like the USA to an upstart hellraiser like North Korea – and try to be the last one remaining when the whole world blows to smithereens.

“It's AMAZING! I love it. (P.S. there are two bugs I found. 1 is that it won't let me fight any more enemies than two, and two is that when I click on Info for a country, the x won't let me out.)”

“Original release build was more stable and more fun. Wish I could go back to it. Game is abandoned now though, so don't bother buying.”
