* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': Near the end of ''Stormblood'', the Eorzean Alliance unleashes all of its long-ranged firepower to breach the nearly impregnable gates of Ala Mhigo and take the fight to the Garlean forces occupying it. Ul'dah's Thaumaturges' Guild unleash every fire and ice spell in its arsenal to soften the gates up with rapid heating and cooling before the Maelstrom and Temple Knights fire every cannon they have. Although such a formation nearly falls to the threat of the Garlean air force, the timely intervention of [[spoiler:Hien, Yugiri, and the Xaela of the Azim Steppe]] ensure that the attack works, setting the stage for the liberation of Ala Mhigo.
-->'''Pipin:''' Give me hellfire! Give me Ifrit's bloody inferno! Now give me a Coerthan winter! Enough ice and snow to bury a behemoth! All cannons, fire at will! Let no man say we neglected to knock!

** The [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Buster Gundam]] has an aerial SP attack that is so hilariously excessive in sheer output of dual shoulder launched missiles as well as hand carried guns that it can lag a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 PS3]] straight into single-digit framerates when used. Its partner, the Duel Gundam, is not ''that'' much better with its Assault Shroud letting it fire the ShoulderCannon and missile launcher as well as the beam rifle all at the same time. The Calamity Gundam gives in to the violent urges of its pilot and lurches blindly back and forth firing all its weapons as its SP attack. Freedom and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Strike Freedom]] appear and are BeamSpam death machines. Infinite Justice becomes one too when it triggers its [[MechaExpansionPack METEOR]] SuperMode's SP attack. All three suits are shown firing everything they have, both in and out of cutscenes.

*** The second movie, ''The Wings of Farewell'', ends with [[spoiler:SMS and the assembled NUNS fleet opening fire upon the Battle Frontier with their Macross cannons, completely obliterating it. It would all be well were it not for Alto being unable to escape the ensuing crossfire, though WordOfGod says that he survived]].

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsEmpireAtWar'': One of Admiral Ackbar's unique abilities allows him to designate an enemy target, which leads to ''Home One'' and all nearby ships to open fire on it for massive damage.

The phrase "alpha strike" originates from UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, where it referred to a US aircraft carrier deploying its entire air wing to attack a single target, unleashing massive firepower at the cost of leaving the carrier basically defenseless for the duration of the attack. The term was eventually co-opted by tabletop wargamers, using the definition presented here.
