In Command Center Earth, your job is to drift a missile through punishingly difficult asteroid fields in order to intercept and destroy incoming meteors. Remember though competition is fierce on the leaderboards so speed and precision are paramount! [ 2 MODES • 25+ LEVELS ] Test your skills drifting the ISJ-10 across 2 unique game modes and 25+ challenging levels. Be warned, though, every mode has its own demands and each level is more punishing than the last. It will take precision, determination, and grit in order to complete your mission. [ SIMPLE DEMANDING GAMEPLAY ] Operating the ISJ-10 might seem straightforward at first glance, but perfecting its movement is the real challenge. So buckle up and prepare to sharpen your skills - you will die a lot! But don't worry, the Command Center is well-stocked with missiles, making failure just a routine part of the business. [ PICK UP & PLAY ACTION ] Command Center Earth has been designed from the start to be easy to get into and easy to get out of. With zero loading screens, the game seamlessly transitions from menus to action at the click of a button. Waiting for a few friends to join your lobby? Why not attempt to beat Yuma for the 25th time? [ COMPETITIVE LEADERBOARDS ] Every level has been painstakingly crafted to ensure players can compete on a high stakes leaderboard. This starts with the fact that each level has been designed to be fully deterministic across machines! Find a small passage through a few meteors that no one's discovered? If your skills allow it, reap the benefits and shave off seconds from your leaderboard time!

Verdict

First Strike's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 33) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
