Basically a remake of the original except they make you get a subscription unlike the original premium version which they removed so they can make more money instead of making something worthwhile. One of the biggest problems which was in the original game which still hasn't been addressed is the constant micro management of the missiles which are used to defend territory. There is a research to make the missiles fire automatically which in my opinion should be automatically researched.
I used to love this game. Easy 5 stars, a simple timekiller where the developers made a great game. Unfortunately that's no longer the case. I was OK with the .99 cost for the superpowers but the latest update crossed the line. The developers took the best part if the game(multiplayer) and made you watch ads to access it. Other games do this too but guess what? They are 3 star games. The developers should understand that if they keep this up ratings will continue to fall. And so will the users.
Great game, graphics are good gameplay is fun but there's a massive drawback. the servers, the servers are god awful you'll disconnect from a mp game multiple times per match. you can rejoin but it takes a few tries. I've lost several games just because Ive kept getting disconnected from the game. if it wasn't for the awful servers and constant disconnecting this would be a really good game.
Amazing game I played when it was still classic. EDIT: I used to love this game very much until the devs blocked a lot of content behind pay walls, i thought the future of first strike was promising because of the addition of multiplayer. But it wasnt. Usa(one of the first nations you acquire) is behind a paywall(obviously), i spent time to unlock all achievements for USA but now ive lost my progression and the missile for that country that you get when starting the game
Already liked First Strike Classic. This new version has more features, factions and Multiplayer, but ads. They are placed in such a way that they don't hamper gameplay though (which is much more involved than in most realtime strategy games on Android). Great mixture of Risk and Defcon in real time basically.
I have been playing this game since you had to pay to play first strike final order. It was worth the money, and it got even better over time.This game used to be perfect. Then they added a paywall to progress thru the game and a subscription service. paywall ruined this game, and I know many others feel the same way. Edit: I understand that money is tough and all that but paywalling a game isnt the way to go. I'm not against paying to unlock stuff, but you should be able to get it normally too.
Extremely addictive and great game. Props to the Devs, but there are a few requests I would love to see you guys make in the game. Please add an option to select how many missiles I want to deploy when we're trying to make missile strikes. Plus please nerf the cossack freedom fighter by a bit. Other than that, this is a great game. Thank you.
Enjoyable, gets repetitive. Changed from 5 to 3 stars because of the paywall put on already added territories. I think it is more acceptable if your going to put a paywall to make new territories instead of removing the old ones. Edit: I completely understand this as companies need to find income to survive. I appreciate the free content with ads for a high quality mobile game. Changed to 4 stars.
The exact game i dreamt of while studing ww2 !!! I have a SUGGESTION though. U could add different commanders to the game having different intelligence, and during a war, the payers should be able to allot each commander to each country. That would create some automation, and it's required as while fighting in several fronts, it's inefficient for one person to look after every front(and that's not how it happens in the real world anyway).
This game had a fun concept and a lot of potential, yet it was ruined with microtransactions, which is sad because I used to really enjoy this game, but now everything is locked behind microtransactions, even the multiplayer, which was the only good part left, has been locked behind ads in the newest update. This game is no longer worth playing.
This game is really well designed and fun, but some theres a decent bit locked behind a paywall, which I could understand if the things behind were more worth buying. After the update, so many countries seemed to have been nerfed or the AI was made far too unfair. For no reason, I'll get targeted by every other AI country before I even have a chance to expand, meaning that I'm slowly picked off by everyone else because I'm the only one they're shooting at
I'd love to give this game a higher rating. I would've in the past too. However, the new marketing scheme has locked content behind a formerly unexistent pay wall. This would've been fine, however, they locked already playable and free content behind said pay wall. This is especially unfortunate as the developers have gone into the route of a monthly membership, which is incredibly consumer unfriendly. I love this game, but I cannot support the route it is going.
If you do not stay for the loading screen at the end, they take your win away. Loading screen works 25% of the time. Used to be a great game. Spent 35 minutes to win a mode and didnt count in the end. Stay away, more effort, the less reward.
I'm not really the person to put a review but come on now. Everyone used to love your game, but now you put everything (including multiplayer) in ad and pay walls. You even took All of our progress and now we can't progress into the game. Just obliterating any type of fun it had. I understand you guys have to raise money, but this is not it, especially when you upped the price. The prices aren't that much, I am grateful that you did that....but my point still stands. 😐
If it was open to more free gameplay then id definitely be dedicated to playing it too much. Probably a good thing. Though the few free parts of it are just as fun to play and very much like a 3d real time risk. If you like those kind of games anyways
I used to hold this game in a very high esteem because of how they treated their players, but due to a change in direction, I no longer am comfortable reccomending this game to friends and family. The new update prevents players from obtaining key features of the game through progression, instead requiring microtransactions by subscription or by multiple purchases. I really would love to say that First Strike is the gold standard, and that the future is bright, but I would be lying if I did.
It's fun until you do all the challenges. Would be better if the multiplayer mode worked. Every time I try to join or make a game it always kicks me out. Not only that but almost all of the time I am able to join, it feels like I'm playing against horrible bots. I have no problem with bots in the multiplayer mode but at least make them put up a challenge.
One of the best games on the app store right now, the "You win?" Was really cool the first time. The only problem is that the premium is a monthly subscription instead of a one off purchase, but that's more personal preference.
Good game, well made. Not intrusive and fully playable for free. Only too much repetitive micro management going on. I'd be happy to get buttons to mass produce rockets and stuff with all my countries. Basically like first strike for building. And also science with point allocation. E.g. I have 7 countries, I go into the science tree and click on one science and put 5 countries to work. After that, I can select another one and put 2. Or not. Cuz defense '-). Thank you for the game!
Man am I disappointed it this game now. The first time I got it everything was free, and the game was fun and challenging, now they lock most of the things behind a paywall. I understand you need money for things, but don't force a paywall for something like that, add more advertisements in the game.
They ruined this game with micro-transactions everywhere, the US is unlocked at the start now too, its way more difficult than it was. I can't even get my progress back when I link my account. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because the multilayer is the only playable game mode.
I loved the game and played it all the time... that is until they switched gears. Everything was unlockable through game progression and with the new update, I have to pay for things I already earned. I don't see how that attracts more players. More like pushing away already established fans.
All I can say is: Good gameplay, GREAT graphics, a lot of mechanics and countries, useful updates, but there are bugs. For example, bug with daily missions - when loading a daily mission, the game freezes and countries are marked in white
Just for making Ukraine a superpower, you get 5* Having then had loads of fun actually playing the game, you can keep the 5*. The graphics and sound are brilliant. The UI is easy to get along with and the overall design is top-notch
Honestly. I understand you make money to update off the game, but I mean I haven't played much, but from what I see. All the good countries and powerful ones and special ones. Etc, all require money. Don't get me wrong it's nothing expensive what so ever, but the 4 you start with. I wish you could get maybe 2 more. But that's just me...maybe unlock them for doing the objectives on the other 4. Other then that! Great. Game. Very strategic in it's manner of lightning strike styled planning.Love it
