About Hex of Steel
I'm 21 and this is my first game ever, so just keep that in the back of your mind while playing before judging too harshly :) (Formerly Operation Citadel) Discord where you can talk to me, and all the players : https://discord.gg/tavRA6W With a failed Kickstarter campaign and 53 euros in our pocket (nope), my brother and I decided to get the game done even with all odds against us. Hex of Steel is a WWII solo and online cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android) wargame that covers all fronts and countries. How does Hex of Steel compare to other wargames ? I'm glad you asked ! The game features a plethora (over 1400) of units. You are probably thinking "Yeah but like any other wargame out there like Panzer Corps or Unity Of Commands has that many units". Why then should you be getting this game, and what would you be missing on ? All the in game easy-to-use editors: Create or modify any tile, unit, country, or map you want. You will be using the same tools I used to design the game. No more, no less. HUGE maps (up to 72.000 tiles) representing entire FRONTS. Such as : The Pacific, Europe, Eastern front, Italy, Germany, and more ! LOTS of mechanics : Supply line, encirclement, weather (rain/snow with FX), season changing, capturing enemy units, bombing cities, diving with submarines, attrition and many more ! A Random Scenario Generator with a lot of parameters ! Unit customization : Want to equip your plane with a drop tank so it can fly further ? In Hex of Steel, you can do it, and much more Modding tools included in the game A game with NO paid content whatsoever. To hell with DLCs and money-thirsty devs ! BOUH ! Your ideas / wishes realized. Countless players have contributed to this game, if you have ideas, good, or less good, please contact me Instant (or almost) answer from the developer himself. I am here for YOU The possibility to play against the developer and kick his ass and have your victory registered in the leaderboard for everyone to see :) Thank you to all the players and the amazing community I have !
