The ultimate spin on the Hearts of Iron series. More Detail. More micromanagement. More global strategy.

I only used this for playing Kaiserreich and it was worth it. Weighted more towards events and pop-up decisions than extreme micromanaging but only slightly more than other HoI games. Good times.

Great game. A little hard to figure out going in for the first time, but over time you learn more and more on how to play this game and you quickly enjoy this game a lot more. 10/10 would recommend.

I rem spent hundred of hours in the past... But somehow I think I never managed to master it. Grand strategy games like HOI are really another beast... And I am sux at this genre lol Basically In this game you are the leader of a nation and you should lead your nation in early - mid 20th Century era, especially in WW2 era. In Grand Strategy games you should take focus on economic stuff and plan a long game because like history teach us, Alexander the Great conquered not only with troops but also with logistics and politics. Pros: - DH upgraded the best of HOI2 - We can invade another county and create your own superpower country :D Cons: - Dated graphic and need a little tweak to make the UI feels normal in modern resolutions. Final Score: 4/5
