    This Game is bugged to death like every other Paradox Game, it doesnt even run properly on multiplayer. You have to be a computer scientist to get it running via IP and even then it has major desync problems. Absolutely not worth 10€.

    I was curious for the WWI scenario, but was a bitter disappointment. Logistic problems, and troops attrition exist ONLY for players, computer send his troops like a unstoppables waves. Some nations (like ottomans) are in start condition too critical...and scenario starts in 1914...you have time only to send your troops to te front...and not all of them will arrive in time.

    Diplomacy is the same of the others heart of iron, with all them problems...BUT...do commercial pact for some resources is impossibile (with ottomans, germany and italy i was unable to import steel)...
    In conclusion ther'are better heart of iron to play...buy it only with steam sale if you want    … Expand

    Beginners will be overwhelmed by numbers, facts and statistics, on the contrary professionals can romp with lots of new strategic possibilities.

    The only drawback of Darkest Hour is that it has only two starting points – 1914 and 1936. If you are completely new to the Hearts of Iron series, this is game you need.

    Darkest Hour is not just a spin off, it is the real heird of Hearts of Iron 2. A believable and dramatic walk trough the most epic and dramatic moments of the 19th century.
