You get better support for this game right here on the Steam forums than you get for corporate games that cost twice as much! Not that it's needed much, the game is excellent as-is.

Sept. 2024

Such an amazing game, very well put together. All I found myself wanting was more of it. The Campaigns and Scenarios are nothing short of amazing and crazy fun. Counters are beautiful. Where game also truly shines much more than Matrix or Slitherine games is the amazing Mullti-player support which is absolutely top tier. I know the author has put so much work into this title I feel bad for being a greedy human but I hope the author of this amazing titles drops a DLC that has a Global Map like other WW2 Grand Strategy Titles, make it a DLC and I could not toss cash at it fast enough. Also, advertise better, you are hiding this gem from the Community.! This is a sit down version of chess in a Military setting...........easy to learn the basics but skill and critical thinking is needed to rule the board. I'm in love with this game.

July 2024

I am really enjoying Hex of Steel, this game reminds me of the old military board games from the 1970-80s digitized. I had an issue with the game and raised it with the developer, not only was he responsive, he was able to fix it and he sent out a hot patch within 30 minutes. I have never had customer service like that with a video game in my life. A huge thank you to "A Corsican Frog"!!!!.

Excellent on-line version of the Classic Avalon Hill board games. Nice to not worry about accidentally bumping into the board too.

April 2024
