About Hex of Steel

▶ Command the War. Forge History ◀ Hex of Steel is a deep, turn-based WW2 strategy wargame spanning Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. Command 45 nations in rich, hex-based tactical warfare. Play solo through branching campaigns or challenge others in cross-platform multiplayer. ▶ Why Hex of Steel Stands Out ◀ • Deep Turn-Based Strategy: Classic hex-based warfare with modern mechanics • Dynamic AI: Smart, reactive opponents that play fair—no cheating • Epic Campaigns: Lead your army through branching, history-changing scenarios • Massive Variety: Play as 45 nations, each with unique strategies • Full Customization: Doctrines, policies, and optional realism settings • Scenario Editor & Mods: Create and share your own content • Cross-Platform Multiplayer: Play seamlessly on PC and mobile • Living Battlefield: Weather, seasons, and immersive effects • No Microtransactions: Full game, no hidden costs ▶ Built with Passion ◀ What began as a €53 Kickstarter has grown into a deeply refined strategy experience, shaped by over 500 updates and a dedicated community. ▶ Join the Community ◀ Connect with 3500+ players on Discord to share strategies, scenarios, and experiences. ▶ Important ◀ For the best experience in the largest scenarios, a modern device (iPhone X or newer) is recommended. All devices can enjoy the full campaign and multiplayer features. ▶ Ready to Command? ◀ Whether you're a veteran strategist or new to wargames, Hex of Steel offers a deep, flexible, and rewarding WW2 experience. The battlefield awaits.

What’s new

Version 8.4.14 · Updated September 24, 2026

As of 8.4.14 (this update), the game now requires iOS 13.0 as the minimum OS it can run on. This is not a game restriction, this is an Apple restriction, developers are no longer allowed to push updates for apps targeting iOS 12.0. ADDITIONS • New German unit: Sd. Kfz. 10-4 FlaK 2.0 cm. CHANGES • Bumped multiplayer compatibility version. • Repair/resupply buttons are now disabled when you don’t have enough money/manpower to perform the action. • Units must now be disembarked first before being allowed to be upgraded/downgraded. • Land units in transport ships will no longer apply a supply penalty to regular land units on land next to them. • Aircrafts will now retaliate during bad weather if attacked by another aircraft owned by a player using the ‘All Weather’ policy. • Converting a save file into a playable scenario will no longer overwrite the save file itself, but create a new dedicated file instead. • Rebalanced Iwo Jima campaign scenarios (not enough income and negative manpower). • Fortifications have been added around the Kursk salient on the Eastern Front 1943 standalone scenario. FIXES • Invalid/weird mod name could make the whole mods menu listing fail and not list any mod. • Railway guns had their armour upped from 10 to 30 by mistake. • Objectives window would display the ‘capture all major VPs’ objective/requirement even though all of the major VPs were non capturable tiles (reinforcement tiles, for example). • AI could/would land on land/islands without exits (harbors/VPs) and would remain stranded there forever. • Typo in the introduction text of the Poland 1945 standalone scenario. • Volume of sound effects played from the Units Editor was not using the proper volume setting for units SFXs. • One lone victory point was under Dutch control instead of Japan control in the Pacific 1942 standalone scenario. • Hills damage modifier was not applied to mountain tiles. • Units on mountain tiles did not get the ‘high ground’ visibility bonus. • Unit names were wrongly capitalized when playing without the realistic naming setting. • Wrong text label shown on the scenario start description window when the scenario description was empty. • Some islands/VPs were wrongly placed in the Coral Sea campaign scenario. • Yet another attempt to fix auto move after attack on mobile.
