And you can join to play against us and other First Strike fans! Both PC and mobile players are invited because crossplay is possible in First Strike.

Follow us on Twitch to get notified when we're live: FOLLOW US ON TWITCH We hope to see you in the stream! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28290267/cec9867db9a53f9ae1250675c0fbbaf9e3fd7282.pngMultiplayer out now! FOR FREEAug 31, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28290267/bb73b37e1c0657a905564a661bd4ced2994c4569.png The free DLC with the MULTIPLAYER mode for First Strike is here! PLAY IT NOW Don't forget to update the main game, the DLC only works with the latest version of First Strike. It's good to have your Steam Cloud settings activated for First Strike, so that your save file stays secured, while the app gets updated. You will have a new button in the main menu that leads you to the multiplayer mode. Tell your friends and challenge each other to nuclear war battles! PLEASE NOTE: Keyboard shortcuts are disabled in multiplayer The keyboard shortcuts are deactivated in the multiplayer on purpose. The multiplayer has crossplay, which means PC players and mobile players play together. The shortcuts would be a big advantage for PC players and make it unfair for mobile players. Disabling shortcuts was a necessary compromise. The PC player base is not big enough to not have crossplay, so we have to mix the players and make it at least fair for everyone. GIVEAWAY To celebrate the release, we are giving away three $25 Steam Gift Cards! Enter the giveaway HERE! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28290267/18563ec07c7fd7909cddcce989909ae4519360b9.pngMultiplayer is coming to PC! FOR FREEAug 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsYes, it’s happening!

We want to inform you that the free mobile version of First Strike is evolving with new content. We just released The Daily Conflict Update that includes seven new daily challenge modes! And we plan to continue on expanding the free mobile version of the game with more new gameplay content in the future. Now some of you who play First Strike primarily on your PC may be asking: “But what about First Strike on Steam? I want to play the new content on my PC and not on a mobile device.” Here we have to tell you that the Steam version will not get these new updates. We plan to keep the Steam version as it is because it is supposed to provide the typical, essential First Strike experience, hence the “Classic” title. The free mobile version on the other hand is our "nuclear playground" where we now experiment with new gameplay material. At the moment, a free Steam version of the game with the new content isn’t planned. If you want to try out the new content and you have an Android or iOS device, you can easily get the free mobile version on the Apple App Store and on Google Play Store. We hope you will continue to enjoy First Strike in its pure, iconic form here on Steam, as well in its new, evolving form on your mobile devices. With kind regards The Blindflug Studios team PS: You can follow us on our First Strike Instagram to get more First Strike news. We're currently doing a week-long T-shirt giveaway there!

A tiny game from a small development team with just the simple wish of creating a fast and frantic strategy game, that also shows to the world, how devastating our nuclear arsenal truly is. The rest is history: First Strike was the game that started our company and kept us going for over seven years now. Over 11 Million players have played First Strike to this day across all platforms. We owe the bomb a ton. But most of all, we are here thanks to all of you. Thank you so much! Celebrate this historic day with us: We are going to stream live from the Blindflug Hangar on Twitch at 19.00 CET.

First Strike: Final Hour will get a massive update today, becoming First Strike: Classic. Why is that? Well, you see, this Saturday, First Strike is turning 7 years old. And for this special celebration we did something special: We used the last months during the global lockdowns to remaster the whole game from the ground up. First Strike: Classic is a new rebuild of the original First Strike, including: A new codebase completely rebuilt from the ground up to fight bugs A massively smarter AI with brand new behaviors Newly refreshed and redesigned interface And it is free of charge as an update for all First Strike fans We’ve heard the feedback that First Strike was having some issues lately. Not only is this version more merciless and sleeker than ever before, we also hope this update will help to make First Strike ready for another nuclear decade. If you are interested in celebrating the anniversary with us, join the festivities this Saturday when we're doing a special livestream with the community. All the links are on this hub page: Nuclear Celebration Day HUB Thank you all for sticking with First Strike for so long and we hope you are having a ton of fun with this remaster and with figuring out the creative ways to blow up the world.
