Take charge of history’s greatest war machines in Hearts of Iron IV, a grand strategy wargame that challenges your strategic abilities and political insight. Refight World War II at the head of nation from the time period, building up an industrial powerhouse and a diplomatic alliance that will effectively wage war on ideological opponents.



Hearts of Iron IV is more than a historical simulation. Alternate historical paths open up with almost every decision you make, from small ones such as where to launch your attack to crack open Fortress Europe, to large ones, such as whether to re-establish democracies or long forgotten monarchies.



In Hearts of Iron IV, you can plan the military strategy almost down to the rivets, as you design division templates for your armies, research new modes of production and means of destruction, set out factory instructions and pursue political objectives. Almost no part of the war goes untouched as you guide a nation of your choice through humanity’s darkest hour.

This purchase comes with the Hearts of Iron IV base game as well as three expansion packs:


  • Death or Dishonor: focuses on eastern and central European middle powers
  • Together for Victory: focuses on British Commonwealth nations
  • Waking the Tiger: focuses on China and Japan

THE BEST HISTORICAL GAME EVER

Hoi4 is a great game and after 500 hours i can recommend it to anybody that is interested in history. Base game is ok(i mean it is not fun to play base game for too long) but after u start to add steam workshop mods and buy dlcs game becomes even better. You can enjoy it with yoour friends or alone. Focus trees are really good but some nations have even better focus trees then others. If u are intersted in history or ww2 i recommend u this game.
  • A lot of mods and unlimited options what to play
  • very good optimised
  • Very good dlc
  • Too much dlcs and they are expensive
Hearts of Iron IV is a WWII strategy game (the best out there). It focuses on historical accuracy, but you can always turn historical focuses off, and you can recreate history. There are also mods, a big community. Overall a PERFECT strategy game.
  • Fun
  • Best strategy game out there
  • Tutorial isnt very good
very good
  • Funny game
  • Community is very cool
  • You learn history
  • Very hard game
Bought 2 codes for my friends and I got them instantly and they were fully functioning. Great website with great UX, highly recommend. Purchase did not take longer than a few seconds and the key was given instantly and shown clearly.
It's a very good, immersive game, hard enough for new players, but once you get the hang of it, it's very satisfying to play, and allows you to develop your strategy in a video game.

On the negative side, the AI is very annoying during peace conferences, which are very random and affect the quality of the game.

The DLC is very good, but a little expensive for my taste.
  • Cool strategie
  • Very realistic
  • Tech trees and political game is successful
  • Peace conference with the AI is broken
  • Some mecanics that are very hard to master

Downloaded game is incredibly laggy and it's not computer's fault because it far surpasses the recommended specs. I have tried everything to make it work but every time I boot it up, I can't go an entire in-game day without a massive lag spike.
  • can be fun
  • laggy
At first It kept on saying processing The product For the longest time I even had to time the next day to play it Then it complete Then I had another Issue Finding the key Luckily We managed to find it Overall this game is really good and it's really fast to get it on steam?
HOI4 allows players to experience the story they already love in a new way without losing any of the beauty from the original game. New and old characters get their chance to shine through and steal your heart, even the ones you never expected to. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and maybe you’ll even feel a sense of justice for the infamous Allies in the end. But one thing you won’t feel is regret in picking up HOI4, as it’s truly the best HOI title, if not one of the best video games, I’ve ever experienced to date.

It's a lot of fun but super hard. its a game that you can spend 30 hours on and still make no progress and expand your country but with enough knowledge you will think its super fun. I think it's worth buying and giving it a try
  • Fun
  • A Realism
  • Good poin
  • Really hard
  • Too much time investing
  • Solo play

  • Fun
  • Beginnerfriendly
the best game i have ever played. would highly recommend it. the mechanics are insanely elaborated, and the gameplay is very intense. it's a must have for any world war 2 enjoiers or tacticians wanna be out there
It is a good game I've been playing it when it was free weekend and i really liked and now i want to buy it but please put it back in stock i've been waiting past 4 days for you to restock it. I hope you put it back in stock
  • One of the best games ever
  • Cheap
  • Able to rewrite history
  • Not in stock
This grand strategy game puts players in control of a nation during World War II. The game's mechanics are deep and complex, and the level of detail is impressive. It's a great choice for fans of the grand strategy genre and history buffs.
  • Highly detailed and immersive gameplay
  • Robust tech tree and research system
  • Wide variety of nations to play as, each with their own unique challenges and opportunities
  • Steep learning curve and complex gameplay may be intimidating for new players
  • The game's mechanics can be overwhelming at times, with a lot of micromanagement required
  • The game's performance can suffer on lower-end PCs or during large-scale battles with a lot of units on the screen.
This game is a good strategy game and I'm not even really into strategy games but it is a bit money hungry for example some dlcs include content that i feel like should be in the base game already but despide that it still has a lot of content and it also has lots of great mods on the workshop made by the community (Road to 56, The great war redux, Cold war etc.). But I would recommend downloading player led peace conference mod because the AI usually makes some disgusting borders.
  • Great strategy game
  • Lots of content
  • Broken AI
Fantastic.

Live the WWII with all posible countries. Ensure your allies and fight for your faction. Change the history or repeat it. The future is on your hands.

Great system each patch improves even more the game.
  • Lot's of hours of fun
  • Hard to start
Base game dont recommend, now the game with all the DLCs is a good game, only down side is the amount of DLCs that are available to have a better gameplay... its awefull trying to buy a game and you see that you need lots of DLCs to the game to be better in every way.
  • Trully strategy
  • Better visuals than HOI3
  • Somewhat good community
  • You need all the DLCs to feel like a proper game
  • DLCs cost too much
  • MP has lots of cheaters
It takes some time to getting used to all the game mechanics, but once you've understood the basics its a lot of fun. Even after 600+ hours I'm still learning something in each session. Just love that game! In addition to the very nice vanilla game are there tons of mods.
  • You dont need to have DLCs in order to play with others who have them
  • Many DLCs
I have this game for three years now and I am not bored at all, if you like strategy games and you have patience this is a game for you! I recommend it to anyone who is interested in such games. Hearts of iron IV lives forever!
  • It has so many things to do and you are constantly learning about them
  • it is not a game for a few hours or a few minutes
I would recommend Hearts Of Iron 4 to anyone who has some patience learning the game mechanics, since for starters it may feel a bit intimidating and hard, but after learning the basics I promise you will get hundreds of hours of fun.
Nice, fun and educational type of game, I really recommend it to everyone who likes strategy games. There is nothing else to say, I immediately liked it because it is WW2 based and because I had fun experience with strategy games.
  • Education
  • Entertainment
  • Takes time
  • Multitasking
Well, I don't have time to be a leader, commander-in-chief, diplomat, state farm manager in one person. The game could be more casual without losing any abilities. There is nothing wrong with multi-colored keys like a children's piano. Same what happened to the last Crusader Kings. Instead, the interface is gray as a time of action. The player experiences on his own skin all the bureaucratic red tape. And without a lot of free time, this navigator system cannot be ridden. Based on this, the game is great for those who have retired. I pay tribute to the historical scenarios and the authenticity of the maps. I would like to open the game and for it to play itself.
  • History
  • Design
Its simple enough to learn for beginners. Quite active with updates. Amazing community, amazing moders. The only thing that is bad in the game is the unbalanced Axis AI-s, and the dumb Soviet AI. My favourite game btw.
  • active with bug fixes
  • Unbalanced German AI
You can re-write the history, i like it , a spend lots of time for this. Some important nations don't have own special focus tree ( austria, hungary) and you can change the history whit those countrys...
  • great game
  • good price
  • hard begining sometimes
  • Some nations don't have own special focus tree
Very nice game to play with your friends!! 100% recommend
If you like ww2 this is a game for you if you were looking for one.
It is very good game to learn to multitask and such.
It is just a overall good strategy game.
  • Nice game with friends
  • Good strategy
  • surprisingly fast to learn
  • Hard to master
It's a lot of fun but super hard. its a game that you can spend 30 hours on and still make no progress and expand your country but with enough knowledge you will think its super fun. I think it's worth buying and giving it a try
  • Fun
  • A Really good strategy game
  • Very hard for beginners and people with no strategy game experience
AWESOME! Bought this game a few weeks ago. now i cant stop playing it, it is related to the history form 1936 til 1970 i guess. me and my friends stop playing a match after 1942. because then we start a new macht. I should consider to buy this game
  • Great
  • Fun to play alone
  • But even more fun with friends
  • online can somethimes be lagging
