The Ultimate Turn Based WWII Strategy Experience On iPhone and iPad

▶ IMPORTANT: Hex of Steel is a graphically intensive game. For the best experience, especially in the largest scenarios, we recommend using a device with a strong GPU/CPU. Devices from 2017 onward, like the iPhone X, should handle these scenarios smoothly. However, all devices can access the extensive campaign mode and engage in thrilling multiplayer battles. ◀


▶ Command the War. Forge History ◀
Immerse yourself in Hex of Steel, a fresh and innovative WWII wargame that spans all major fronts. Command your forces across Europe, Africa, and the Pacific in a game that marries deep strategic gameplay with cutting-edge mechanics.

• Vast Replayability: With 45 playable nations—from Germany to Mongolia to Iraq—Hex of Steel offers an unprecedented variety of strategies and challenges.
• Immersive Environment: Experience dynamic weather and seasonal transitions, complete with stunning visual and sound effects that bring the battlefield to life.
• No Hidden Costs: Enjoy the full game with no in-app purchases or paid content—what you see is what you get.
