HEARTS OF IRON 3 REVIEWS HOW TO
Thus sometimes making knowing how to maneuver more critical to victory than fielding the strongest units you can get. It is a "game" that is as much about knowing about what units to field but also how to field them(sending an armored division in a forest province won't do it any good) and how to manage your logistic as well(such as knowing where your supply lines runs, to make sure these don't get cut by enemy maneuvering). This is much more about positioning your armed divisions throughout the various provinces of the current field of battle to encircle this enemy or spearhead through that other defensive line with armored divisions before maneuvering said units to cut another enemy unit's supply line so you can take it between the hammer and the anvil with another division. So, as mentioned, you'll never see the individual soldiers under your orders, instead managing the divisions they are part of from province to provinces. Your battle field isn't a town or an hilly region, but quite literally a whole country that you invade or have defend yourself against (in which case said battlefield is yours or an ally's country). As such, you never see the individual soldiers or squads that make an units, since the battlefield is done from a world map point of view. To start easy, We'll begin with combat.Īs mentioned, combat in Hearts of Iron is managed in the division scale. As such, the game is less of a "WW2 grandscale game" than it is literally a "WW2 Simulation" game in that you basically get to simulate WW2 itself rather than just minor aspects of it. Warfare, but also diplomacy, production, technology, intelligence, politic. See, Hearts of Iron 3 put you in charge of everything. In fact, due to the nature of the game, managing armies is only a very tiny fraction of everything you can do.

So, what happens once you've chosen your country? Well, a few things, but it's mostly up to you, really. though some are recommended more than others for obvious reasons of being easier to involve in the war) and the date at which you wishes to begin. Your playground, quite literally, is the world as that is pretty much what you "play" over, starting from your country of choice(which choice of starting countries pretty much number in the hundred.
Gameplay in Hearts of Iron 3 is played in the very grandscale. So here's a more in-depth evaluation of the game: Summing Hearts of Iron 3 to just this however would still be doing it a disgrace.
This is a game that see you directing brigades and division on a world map (literally spanning all populated continents) quite reminiscent of the strategic maps used by WW2 commanders. This isn't a game that sees you controlling individual soldiers, squads or even companies. To sum it rather quickly, Hearts of Iron 3 is a grand strategy game set during WW2. but that doesn't have much meaning except for someone who actually played the previous titles or had heard of them prior. Obviously, it is the third opus of the Hearts of Iron series. Hearts of Iron 3 might not be for everybody, but that is certainly not to say that there isn't a certain level of brilliance involved with what it does.
HEARTS OF IRON 3 REVIEWS SERIES
Instead, I write this for the people who, like me, had never had the chance to lay my fingers on a game of this series before and for whom considering to buy this game would be the first experience they have with the series beyond having simply heard of it.

First, let it be known that this review is not written in the scope of someone familiar with the Hearts of Iron series, but rather someone who is quite new to it despite having often heard of it from friends and acquaintances who are themselves familiar with the series.
