Summary
Set during the Second World War, Hearts of Iron is the first ever PC game to truly give players the chance to make decisions that will change the course of history - virtually speaking, of course.
The game map spans the entire world and allows players to take the war to any new front of their choosing. Any nation in the world is playable, but the game focuses on the epic struggle between the great alliances of the new world orders - Fascism, Communism and Democracy. Hearts of Iron is developed by the team behind the award-winning Europa Universalis I and II and brings the same super detail to a modern day gaming experience. Hearts of Iron aims to be no less than the definitive World War II strategic experience.
Hearts of Iron has already received much acclaim from hardcore strategy players from both sides of the Atlantic and quite rightly so. Gameplay alone is epic, and when you include a scenario editor, a deep diplomatic model, an advanced research model, accurate historical information, a strategic military system, a refined multi-player mode and an orchestral soundtrack, it's not hard to see why Hearts of Iron is dubbed the ultimate World War sim.
