First Strike
Escalation is a downward spiral. A nuclear armageddon is no one’s dream scenario. So choose your steps carefully, it’s a small path between war and peace. FIRST STRIKE is a great strategy simulation featuring snappy gameplay and an intuitive interface that makes dropping the big one as easy as ABC. But be sure to take the right measures to guarantee your people’s safety. Pick one of the big nuclear players – from known Superpowers to an upstart hellraiser like North Korea – and plan your strategy wisely: What size of bombs to build, what kind of research to conduct, whether you’re a bloodthirsty warmonger or a tree-hugging hippie – it’s time to put your cards on the table. A quick and fun game with beautiful graphics, FIRST STRIKE shows you how little it takes to heat things up. With the tip of your finger you can control the destiny of the precious and vulnerable rock floating through space, the rock we call mothership Earth. And now with MULTIPLAYER! Up to 10 players can play against opponents from all over the world and nuke the earth into nuclear Armageddon TOGETHER! Show the world your skills as the ultimate nuclear commander and enjoy the iconic nuclear war RTS experience with your friends and other First Strike fans! Now the question is, will you be the one remaining when the whole world blows to smithereens?

Player estimates
Nobody publishes how many people play First Strike, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Reddit, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Frequently asked questions
How many people play First Strike?
We estimate that about 31,000 people have played First Strike — plausibly between 11K and 88K. Around 1,500 of them play on a given day, in a range of 110 and 13K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Reddit and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.
Is First Strike still active?
Yes. First Strike is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.
How are the First Strike player estimates worked out?
Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
