Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game

The hate that THIS one in particular is getting is so forced. Do your due diligence and read reviews made more then a month ago, no one was saying anything negative about this game other then the fact that it isn't a total sandbox and will naturally follow a more historical path unless you heavily deviate from it and you know enough about how the game works to know how. So it isn't literally just like an alt-history simulator out of the box where you can be like "Oh I'll just make Germany communist, America communist and the USSR right winged and see what happens". Like that was basically one of the only "complaints" I saw about this for YEARS. This is absolutely one of the greatest strategy games ever made. This one specifically, Darkest Hour, is a mod for HOI2. Idk why brainlets keep acting like this is HOI4 or something and review bombing it. I want the literate among us to notice that this HOI game, unlike others, has a different name as the developer then it does the publisher. Martin Ivanov is the developer of Darkest Hour and he did a phenomenal job at this mod and it is THE definitive way to play HOI2. I say this with an additional 100 hours on vanilla HOI2. This mod ad…

not good at all Rome Total war is better.

game has a really bad interface and is not enjoyable at all. i know it's old but still, it's almost unplayable.

Not worth for a map painting game. Too shallow and unoptimized

My introduction to Hearts of Iron, and not a bad start.

Martin Ivanov got his version of HOI2 to work on modern PCs, but it's still the same boring slogfest that the others are. I can't even call it a map painting simulator because you'll be doing more gazing at spreadsheets and crunching numbers than anything else. A nicer looking map is all you'll get outta this one. Just avoid and find something else, straight simple.
