I never played the mobile version, but this actually worth the RM3.78 which is a price of a bottle of coke during sales.

Until 2017, there was no way to play First Strike on PC. First Strike was originally released in 2014 and was exclusive to mobile devices . Because it was much better established, the PC version is generally smaller and gets fewer updates on average . The PC version has fewer features... but this isn't necessarily a bad thing for players. - Developers put most of the singleplayer content in the mobile version behind a paywall in 2022. - New content added to the mobile version in 2022 was not released equally to all players. [*]The Final Atomic Union and Doomsday Smashers require a subscription to play . [*]Ukraine, Mexico, UK, and Pakistan have to be purchased on singleplayer , but are free on multiplayer. [*]Ukraine cannot be released on IOS , as it violates Apple policies concerning international conflicts. The PC version of First Strike is a far more faithful successor while providing a vastly better multiplayer experience. The costs of developing new content on has stalled developers from being able to continue working on the mobile version of First Strike. (A huge mistake despite how fun new features can be). It killed the potential that the game had in early 2021. Compared to the subscriptions and microtransactions on mobile, the PC version feels like a breath of fresh air . In 2024, First Strike PC is the best version of the game.

Good game! It can get boring at times and can glitch sometimes but overall like the style and gameplay. Not really worth the price but when it goes on sale I recommend buying it.
