About this game

▶ 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. ◀

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.

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.

Overall, fabulous game. I have noticed a few flaws however. The computer player tends to be able to do some fun things tho. Naval units somehow replenish in the ocean, whereas your own ships need to be in port to do so. Makes the game harder than it needs to be. On the whole however, this very much reminds me of the old SSI Panzer General series. It was very well worth the purchase.

I've been playing this game a ton lately. I really enjoy it. i love all the different maps and scenarios and the ability to make your own. i also like the art style. i hope to see maybe some more content added in the future. maybe some early post-war vehicles and aircraft? i dont know. It's your game after all, so if it's meant to be strictly ww2, then fair enough. im happy with that. but yeah, it's a great game. It's my favourite game on moble devices, in my opinion.

Worth every penny. Reminds me of the times when I bought everything SSI used to put out on PC. Layers of detail, it's obvious how much effort went into this. I have one gripe, a few smaller mobile friendlier maps would be great. The larger maps take so long to do a turn that even playing a few turns on my phone becomes a huge battery drain. Otherwise it's a phenomenal game
