Description

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. Now the beloved strategy game that sets the Doomsday Clock ticking and puts players fingers on the button of a horrifying nuclear arsenal, is getting a remaster just in time to celebrate the 7-year anniversary of its original release. The new First Strike has been completely rebuilt and now is more stable, more beautiful and has more cunning enemies than ever.

About Blindflug Studios

Boilerplate
About Blindflug: We are an indie game studio founded in 2014 by Jeremy Spillmann and Moritz Zumbühl, based in Zürich, Switzerland and Poznań, Poland. Our mission is simple: We want to create beautiful, imaginative and incredibly fun games, that center around real-world dilemmas. We believe that games are an incredible medium for allowing players to experience the most complex of problems while being hugely entertaining too! Our first title First Strike, a nuclear war RTS game, has been played by more than eleven million players so far. It was followed up by the highly critical acclaimed Cloud Chasers that explores the topic of migration, the dieselpunk action game Airheart and the Apple Arcade launch title Stellar Commanders. With over 50 nominations and prizes at international awards and festivals, like the Best GDC Pitch and German Developer Innovation Prize, Blindflug is one of the standout indie game studios in Europe.

Blindflug also works for innovative clients and helps them find new ways of communication with video games. Like Finance Mission Heroes, the first game in the Swiss-German curriculum that teaches kids financial literacy; Enter - IT Security Training, a puzzle game that tests your feel for digital loopholes; and (re)format Z:, a stealth game about the Swiss Protestant Reformation that tells the story of a similar revolution in a dystopian Zurich.
