Fully optimised for PC with new control systems, a graphical upgrade and Steam support, the game also features double the number of super weapons for more strategic options and a new Diplomacy Mode, allowing players to form non-attack treaties with superpowers and stab them in the back.

The release comes off the back of the continued success of First Strike: Final Hour's mobile ancestor, which has remained a hit across the world since its initial release three years ago, attracting a huge number of players across Europe, the US, Russia and China. A new trailer is also available to view now, along with some insightful videos explaining the creation of the game. 

"It seems the morbid fascination with nuclear diplomacy and war continues, so we're happy to indulge that curiosity by bringing First Strike to PC," said Moritz Zumbuhl, President & CEO, Blindflug. "The message of the game remains the same - that nuclear war is not pretty and no one wins - but it's still great fun to play and now open to a whole new audience. We also hope that it can help provoke thought on the tense position that the world has entered into."

Priced at $11.99 / £8.99 / €11.99 - and with a 30% special launch discount - First Strike promises an enhanced experience for PC with all of the addictive shenanigans and thought-provoking gameplay.
