Description
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.
▶ Born from Passion ◀
What started as a Kickstarter dream with just €53 has evolved into a deeply engaging strategy game, a testament to the determination and passion of its creator. Hex of Steel is more than just another war game—it's a labor of love crafted with the input of a dedicated community.
▶ Why Hex of Steel Stands Out ◀
• Constant Evolution: Over 400 updates and counting. Hex of Steel is continuously refined and improved, ensuring a fresh and balanced experience with every playthrough.
• Dynamic AI: Engage with an AI that reacts to your every move, providing a challenging and fair experience without resorting to cheats.
• Expansive Scenarios: Command your units across massive, meticulously crafted maps that cover Europe, North Africa, the Pacific, and beyond.
• Endless Customization: Tailor your experience with over 50 policies and doctrines, from military tactics to occupation strategies. Toggle optional settings like zone of control, realistic supplies, and fog of war to suit your style.
• Epic Campaigns: Lead your core units through branching, dynamic campaigns that allow you to rewrite military history.
• Cross-Platform Play: Seamlessly battle friends across PC and mobile platforms with cross-platform multiplayer.
• Limitless Creativity: Design your own scenarios, units, and maps using a suite of editors, or dive into infinite replayability with the random scenario generator.
• Strategic Depth: Employ diplomacy, forge alliances, declare wars, and negotiate truces. Your strategic choices will shape the course of the game.
• 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.

The battlefield awaits—are you ready to command?
What’s New
Version 7.7.5
ADDED
• Game has been translated in a brand new language, although very niche, players who speak Catalan are going to be happy, we can thank Divadov for his work! Enjoy!
CHANGED
• Overdue rework of the settings menu. It really was a mess, it is now much more organized!
• Improved balance of Europe 1939, as well as a significant geographical rework. Also, Italy will now join the Allies when Rome falls (to the Allies). Romania will now properly join the USSR upon capitulating when being invaded by the USSR (instead of just capitulating).
• AI organized retreat/defense system. It will now much more intelligently pick defensive spots or retreat when being outnumbered or in a defavorable situation when losing the war.
• Morale passive regeneration rate (3% to 5% per turn).
• Morale loss from artillery pounding or bombardment now directly scales with damage to HP ratio, with a minimal morale loss of 5.
• Increased impact of morale on retreat of units.
• All italian infantry graphics.
• AI will now properly enlarge its frontline instead of massing its troops in a single place.
• Added major VPs to Stalingrad '42 standalone.
FIXED
• AI's turns slowing down a lot in certain cases (when it tried to calculate a path towards its goal, but none could be found). I am now running a lightweight algorithm (less than 1ms) ahead of the actual pathfinding, which saves hundreds of milliseconds of work down the road. The AI never played that fast, saved that much CPU time, and this allowed me to increase even more the 'tries' (from 5 to 15) when it could not find a path towards a specific goal.
• AI would upgrade its garrisons even though it did not have the manpower for it, ending up with negative manpower (when playing with realistic manpower ON).
• One instance of AI freeze in very specific cases.
• Buying/Requesting/Transferring tiles being part of a capitulation event would not cancel the capitulation (Example: German player buying Paris hexagon, if Paris fell, Germany would capitulate).
Ratings and Reviews
Look on YouTube for the how to…
The developers made their own guide, much more helpful than the tutorial links in game. This game is a triumph of dedication to the genre. Bravo for creating this.
Developer Response ,
Hello !
Indeed, the tutorial is a simplified map where you can play and learn the game on a small scale toying with certain units
The manual explains the mechanics
There also is a great series of 3 videos from Time and Tactics explaining the game, cannot recommend it more !
Thanks for the review !
Cheers
