First Strike: Classic App Reviews

Hardcore mode is awesome but....

Add the ability to SAVE your progress! Brighten the blackened nukes areas. Nearly impossible to see which are your lands. Add in fleets. Allow users to select and deploy 2 super powers if they want.

AMAZING GAME-just a few things

Ok, this game is absolutely amazing. It was definitely worth the price. Ive played this game sooooo much. The gameplay and the feeling of the need of survival mixed with a game all about blowing stuff up is creative. Im looking forward to playing this game more and the future updates along with it. Now some suggestions could be more super weapons. I mean dont get me wrong there all good especially the TSAR. Yes lol big BOOM. But it be cool to have a wider range of superweapons. And maybe a extra rocket or two to use in-game. But big suggestion. Maybe a multiplayer mode it would be pretty cool dominating offline and online. Thats all I got to say thank you for this amazing game its definitely worth I love this game.

REALLY THE BEST GAME EVER

This game is great, though it could use updates more often. Also I think that more super weapons should be added, something like a tsunami generator would be really awesome, or implement that when a bomb falls in an ocean it creates a massive tidal wave (size depends on bomb type) and affects costal areas

Great and Beautiful Game (Some Suggestions)

I would definitely recommend this game for grand strategist who want to have a great time just if you could add a multiplayer option this game would be the best Ive ever seen or if you add diplomacy thats all

AWESOME

This game is even better than plague inc! It just has less publicity!

WAR IS WAR

To First Strike deployers I love this game I love it so so much but it just needs some things like how to take over peoples place without nukes I would love to have armys able to take over land quickly and take over other peoples land like think two super powers (USA and Russia) are at a stalemate where the other cant nuke the other because if they do they both will die if you add armys I would love it. If you could add diplomacy where you could have alliance with other super powers like imagine US and Western Europe vs Russia and China that would be great. And if you can add more countries like some more in Asia or maybe add Canada that is all I want to talk about but if you add these I would love it very very much Yours customer

GREAT game, worth the price

Ive had this game for three years and I still actively play it. I still use the Tsar but the new super weapons are great (especially the satellite; to the infiltrators are more of a nuisance). For a few dollars its worth it because you can play it over and over and retain the feeling of destroying the world. There are some little issues- sometimes it doesnt save achievements right away; it takes a few games. But this game is great at conveying its message about war. When the war begins, all the regions are pristine and the borders are clearly defined. But as the world is bombed out, it turns black and its almost impossible to territories are whose anymore. When the war is over, the planet is a dark and burning mess. For another improvement, Id have a domestic bar on your nation. The more enemy cities you destroy/missiles that hit your nation, the more distressed your citizens would be. If it reached a certain point, your country would have a revolution and you would lose. The bar would gradually go down, and could be toggled on and off. Overall, this game is definitely worth the cost and you wont be disappointed if you buy it!

ALOT of suggestions

Especially with super weapons but first I think you should add bombers. These would add another dimension to the game and work like missiles except they do less damage. Maybe they have to be used twice to destroy a country that would be destroyed by one nuke. To balance this I think nukes, especially the short range ones should take longer to make and you can have two bomber squadrons in one slot to make them viable, especially in the early game. Fighter jets would be the equivalent of cruise missiles to these. They could even have their own skill tree to make them faster, have larger range, etc. this would make the first phase of the game a lot more strategic and entertaining now with super weapons, I think they give to much of a jump in power to nations but also make the game more fun and show up to late in the game. Because of this I think they should take less time to research but also be upgradable and start out mediocre. Maybe even have two sub categories of super weapons or each one to choose from. Her are my ideas Tsar: only destroys a couple countries at first, and can upgrade to either be slow, but take more cruise missiles and do a lot of damage, or be built really fast but only destroy two or three countries. Cobalt: upgrade it for the effects to either last a really long time, or cover a very large area. Bomber: this should start as a regular bomber thats a bit faster and still does as much damage as it does in the game now but doesnt cloak, and can be upgraded to either the "Flying Fortress" bomber where it is slow but can take a few cruise missiles and can bomb two adjacent countries in one run or use. Or it could be upgrade Into the stealth bomber which is cloaked and fast like it is now. Dome: shouldnt last long at first. I dont know how it could go two different way other than it could cover a larger area or be more effective and last longer in a smallish area Infiltrator: starts as a slow version of what it is know and can be upgraded to either be faster, it could become the "saboteur" where it takes one missile from each of the two or three surrounding countries its dropped around, allowing you to deplete your enemies Arsenal without doing that to your own ( or that could be a separate super weapon if you want and could you could upgrade that to destroy cruise missiles or nukes) Laser: this is what made me think of mini skill trees for super weapons in the first place. At base form the laser should only cover a short distance, and can be upgraded to either cover a longer distance or once in a while you can redirect it to go exactly where you want instead of it just aimlessly orbiting Also for you want to add a new super weapon. The nuclear submarine which just wanders around the ocean like the laser. An example of how this works is lets say that you want to destroy Europe and it just happens to be of the coast of Spain, you then select it and launch a short range missile from it at Germany just like you would from a country. Countries can launch cruise missiles at it for 5 or so seconds after launch until it goes back out to sea( kinda like the cloak on the stealth bomber) it can be upgraded to either have longer range to reach the center of Asia for example, or recharge faster so there is less time between launches. Also you could add traits (abilities more like) that can either be assigned onto countries or can be chosen in order from hardest to play as to easiest. These would include things like the radar trait where you are notified if someone is developing a super weapon (which I think you shouldnt be able to do usually because it eliminates that element of surprise) or see where an AI is planning to expand next so you can foil their plans. Other ideas for these could use cool down like the border highlight thing and can only be used a few time. Blitzkrieg where you can expand into a country thats already owned, giving land locked countries like N Korea a chance to get going instead of just making a run for an empty space like Canada to get land. Or the colony trait where again on a cool down and set number of times where you can send a boat to expand to any country as long as it is empty and has a coast line, this could for example be used at the begging ing of the game by S Africa sending it to expand to Ethiopia to try and keep India from expanding into Africa . Any way all of these things I think add depth, variety, and replay ability to the game and and the traits could be used as an equalizer of you ever add online multiplayer which you should. Thanks for reading and I hope you take into consideration some of my ideas

Not loading on ipad mini

Game not loading and crashing on ipad mini during the "loading" screen.

It is perfect, but i think there should be online, and lan party games

It is perfect, but i think there should be online, and lan party games

Doesnt open on iPad2

You tap the app and it doesnt even load

Well done

The game is pretty good an fun but please make an Option to turn off the sound

Buggy

I destroyed all other nations and occupied every single piece of land, and still the game is not won. Quite annoying!

Good

Good game crapy graphics and a little pricey at 3.99 but good

Very well done

Iv played this game a few times are am already hooked. I feel this is probably one of the best strategic apps iv ever played. I would like to see more types of nukes available. And also multiplayer. I think it would be awesome if people could play each other through Game Center or something. Overall tho, a highly recommended app in my opinion.

Still waiting

I love this game, its great, but whens the new update coming? It was supposed to be released at the end of May and its June! Please get it out soon.

Clunky controls

The game itself has a lot of potential but the controls and pace of the game let it down

LOST ALL OF MY PROGRESS IN THE GAME!!!

Plz fix it...

Great

How do you use superweapons after you research them???

Still dont have my stuff back...

1.1.1 update didnt fix the biggest problem: all my progress is still deleted. Good game, though.
