First Strike: Final Hour



First Strike: Final Hour (Also known as FSFH or First Strike HD) was an update that was released on May 31st, 2017. This update brought many new features including diplomacy, more superweapons, as well as bringing First Strike to PC/Mac.

Major Changes
Final Hour was one of the biggest updates to the game, coming with all-new (Full-)HD graphics, improved device compatibility and more bug fixes.

While the game was in a very playable state, some major bugs plagued the quality of life, such as Saving and then Loading a game from a savegame would not (usually) work.

Final Hour was the first update where First Strike was available on PC/Mac and despite high hopes for the game on steam it did not perform as well as its mobile counterpart. Meanwhile on mobile the game was released with the original app as well as on a new "free version" of the game. While the Free version contained advertising, the ads weren't played in a way that would interrupt gameplay and were shown following a game or when the player voluntarily accepted it. The original app would eventually become the "Classic" version of the game following the Classic Update.

Superweapons
Final Hour added 6 new superweapons to First Strike: the Kali Storm, Dirty Radium Bomb, Damascus Burner, Hypersonic, Global Strike Trident, and the Semey Launcher. Players were now allowed to research both of their selected superweapons in a game. No more superweapons have been added since Final Hour.

Diplomacy
Prior to the Final Hour update, Blindflug held a survey to ask players what features they would like to see in First Strike. The most popular answer was diplomacy. This update added a system to allow players to sign non-aggression pacts with other Superpowers.
