About Hearts of Iron IV
About this game
Take command of the world’s mightiest war machine, managing industry, diplomacy and battle plans to defend your interests and dominate the planet in Hearts of Iron IV.
This grand strategy wargame offers both deep historical gameplay and tantalizing alternate histories as the dramatic events of the Second World War unfold on your computer. Hearts of Iron IV is a compelling simulation of modern war that rewards replay and strategic thinking.
Main Features:
Rewarding Strategic Gameplay:
Manage continent wide battle fronts and a complex research tree, alongside diplomacy and politics. Prepare your nation for the coming storm, transforming the geopolitical landscape in your favour.
Complex Military Simulation:
Give orders to army groups composed of divisions of your own design, driving towards your objectives and managing supply lines. Coordination of air, land and sea theatres is vital to overall success.
Assume Control of Any Nation:
Choose from the greatest powers striving for victory, or challenge yourself as one of the smaller nations simply trying to weather the storm.
Internal Politics:
Choose your war cabinet based on your current needs. Manage researchers and industrialists before the war, and emphasize a military cabinet once the world inexorably slides into conflict.
Industrial Power:
Build factories and ports, and then use those structures to make everything a modern army needs. Plan wisely, balancing future investment against the needs of the moment.
Push the Limits of Science:
A flexible research system offers new weapons, new industrial systems and advanced strategic concepts.
Intense Online Combat:
Up to 32 players can play Hearts of Iron IV, whether competitively or cooperatively, with some players taking control of different aspects of a single nation’s strategy.

I'm writing this review not as a rating of the game itself, but the legitimacy of this website.
When I first saw the prices for some of these games, I was definitely taken aback as to how cheap they were- especially considering some other sites that are pretty grey in this area.
However, now, after purchasing the game (which arrived instantly), I can confidently vouch for fanatical. Genuinely incredible sight.
Also, no, i'm not a robot or a paid actor. I'm a person.

I'm going to keep it a buck, this is an incredible game. I've accidently spent hours, upon hours of this game just being Germany and taking over the world. Played the game and wanted a bit more? Try out the extensive modding scene on the steam workshop, where in just a click of a button you can play during the first world war, or play in the modern age. The DLC all add something unique, so if you ever want just a bit more juice out of your game, purchase some DLC, I recommend No Step Back, By Blood Alone, and Man the Guns as your first picks. Or you can buy a monthly subscription to all the DLC for 7.99 a month.

Great game. I don't have any DLC but it is still very much fun as most of the base mechanics are still there in some form. Unlike EU4 were the base game feels more like a clunky demo some such. There isn't a lot of flavour and events which is a definite negative but HOI4 without DLC is leagues better than EU4 without DLC though it runs worse on my potato laptop.
