Paradox Interactive created the grand strategy wargame Hearts of Iron IV (HOI4), which has a World War II theme. By taking control of any country on Earth, players can lead them through historical conflicts or explore other historical trajectories.
You hold the key to victory! In the strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, you can take charge of any country during World War II, the biggest struggle in history. Your ability to govern your country is your greatest weapon.
You will lead your nation to glory by waging war, negotiating, or initiating an invasion from the front lines to the command center. During World War II, you might swing the scales in your favor. Now is the moment to demonstrate that you are the best military leader in the world. Will you change or remake history? Will you do whatever it takes to win and alter the course of history?
