A Guide to Easter Egg Searching First Strike

First Strike Easter Egg:
Hello everyone, welcome back to another post of “A Guide to Easter Egg Searching”. In this week’s post, we will be taking a look at a mobile game. Despite many criticisms on mobile games' poor quality, the game called First Strike Final Hour achieved great success in graphics and the overall game plays.


         First Strike final Hour is a single-player mobile game which allows us to command a world superpower. The objective of this game is to lead your country to survive in a nuclear war while destroying all other nations. The game itself is all about global warfare, however, the message which this game is trying to deliver is the exact opposite. In this piece of writing, we will be looking at many small details in First Strike Final Hour which express its anti-war theme.




After you install this game on your phone and play it for the first time, you will see a message which reads “ EVEN IN 2018, MANKIND STILL POSSESS THE POWER TO BOMB ITSELF BACK TO THE STONE AGE.” This quote is a reference to the cold war era when both the United States and Soviet Russia threatened to destroy each other by missiles. The quote here almost sounds like a criticism that we still can not solve this problem today.
When you eventually win a game, a big “YOU WIN?” will appear on the top of the screen. There will also be a summary of the number of nations destroyed, casualties caused and megatons of explosives used. The question mark after "YOU WIN" is asking you whether winning the war is worthwhile. In fact, even though your country won the great nuclear war, you actually ended the future of this planet because the majority of the land was all highly polluted by nuclear waste and no life can possibly survive there.
   It seems that the game only suggests a grim future, but it is not the case because there is a hidden way to win the game without massive wars. To trigger this ending, in the beginning of a game, instead of expanding your territories and building more arsenals, you need to defuse all of your nuclear warheads and keep the
peace. Other countries following your example will all start to defuse their atomic bombs and eventually, all nations will be able to achieve world peace. If you chose this ending, the game will compliment you on your action and reward you with a large amount of HP.

   


By the end of the day, we hope nations around the world interact in harmony. You should definitely try out First Strike Final Hour yourself; it is free for download on Playstore and Appstore. I hope you can enjoy this post and your weekend, until next time, goodbye!
