First Strike News

On this day, seven years ago, the first version of First Strike was released. 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. It would be great if you join us when we play the brand new First Strike: Classic remaster of the original game.

Hello dear tactical annihilators from all around the world!

Today we have a special announcement to make. 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:

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.

Remember: The only winning move is not to play.... or is it?

Stellar Commanders is a one on one multiplayer RTS where players choose their arsenal of units to wage war against each other. It plays like a traditional real time strategy game, but each round is only seven minutes before the tiny planetoid blows up to smithereens.
