Though nothing you won't figure out a couple of hours in, it is still annoying considering the game's complexity. Unfortunately, the tutorials never go much beyond "basic refresher." The tutorials offer a fantastic, if somewhat wordy, overview of the game but leave out some important play details. However, even if you're an expert, it's a good idea to work your way through the tutorials if just for the basic refresher course. If you have experience with past games, or games of a similar ilk, you shouldn't have too much of a problem jumping into the game. Most of Hearts of Iron III is micromanaging aspects of the war like economy, troop movements and everything else I listed above. For instance, if you use a certain unit type often, research and development will go much quicker for related tech trees. There's also an organic sense of unity running through all of the game's systems. It's amazing how much Paradox was able to squeeze into the game without it buckling under its own weight or becoming too much like an interactive documentary.
You'll see a number of well-known political faces as well as era-accurate technology and politics. Countries start out in more or less the exact situation they were in at the start of the war. Hearts of Iron III may lead to a few fantastic situations, but the game manages to cling close to historic accuracy. In short, there's a lot to do and Hearts of Iron III does a good job at making the information relevant and easy to get to. At home, you'll manage your war-time economy and research new technology to help give you an edge, while abroad you'll order troops, develop diplomatic alliances with other countries, move troops and even participate in a little espionage against enemies. Playing as the larger countries yields bigger bonuses, but it's fun and more interesting to take a smaller country and make a global splash.Īs hinted at earlier, gameplay primarily involves combing through menus and maps in order to move your nation's plans forward. Every nation that participated in the war is available, as well as a few smaller countries. In Hearts of Iron III, you play as the leader of a country during WWII and play through events beginning in 1935 and ending in 1947.
