STRIKE THE EARTH!

Never ever played this game, but it keeps popping up in both my brain and my YouTube feed... So now is the time!

Im guessing from what i can see that the graphical version via steam is to be preferred, although the old school version has so much charm to me. Whats the consensus on these two versions?

And, as always, wish me luck ๐Ÿ’ซ

The steam/itch version is simply better. It has graphics but you can turn them off and then is the same as the free online version.

I mean yo can download the free version and check it out but without graphics is a really tough game and the UI doesn't scale too good without the graphics. I 100% suggest to pick the premium version if you can :)
