Back in 2005, when the PC World War II RTS Hearts of Iron II was released, the game was praised for its deep, involving gameplay and excellent replay value. At the same time, the biggest criticism against the developers at Paradox was the sometimes overwhelming learning curve of Hearts II, which left novice and moderate players scratching their heads in confusion. Fast-forward three years to today, when we had a meeting with Paradox developers to talk about the latest game in the series--Hearts of Iron III. The first thing they mentioned they were working on? Making sure that learning curve is far less steep than before.
Paradox reps told us today they were roughly four months into the development of Hearts III and making sure new players can find success early on in the game is one of the primary concerns for the development team. As a result, expect to see slightly scaled-down missions in the early goings, with fewer forces to command, as the game attempts to acclimate you to the idea of fighting multiple fronts. In fact, to that end, Paradox hopes to let players be as hands-on or hands-off as they like; if you're not ready to fight multiple theaters of war, you can always assign the AI to handle several fronts for you, while you micromanage the theater you are most interested in.
A gentle learning curve doesn't mean that Hearts III will be a simplified game. In fact, it seems like the plans for this game will be ambitious as can be. Just as you might expect, you'll be able to play as the heavy hitters in WWII--Allies, Fascists, and the Communists. But what will certainly get historical RTS fans chomping at the bit is the fact that you can also play as countries who had little or next to zero input in the Second World War. Want to play as Poland and try to stave off the German blitzkrieg for a week or two longer? Go for it. Want to try to play as Costa Rica? Have at it. Want to play as politically neutral Switzerland? Well, we're not so sure about that one. In all, there will be more than 150 countries to choose from in this game, all of which will have a slightly different take on the global conflict.

  • @MrLongbowman I know your comment is 2 years old but there's not really any in depth gameplay they can show =P

  • I figured since no one commented on this for a whole year I might as well right this comment just to keep it fresh

  • A bit late on the response I know, but the game now would cost you 30-40 USD.

  • how much does the game cost?

  • Sweden rules!!

  • god how i love fps and strategy pc games

  • coh woots

  • You can for example,totaly recreate german assault on USSR controling historical german 150 divisions,with all generals commanded every division, or army,in the same time fight in Africa with Romell and wage war on the Atlantic with subs giving orders to Donitz.Complete ww2 theater.

    Its not turn based game but time flows.

    If one wants to see what will be if anything gone other way in ww2 thats the game.There is no second best ww2 grand strategy behind this game.Its the only of its kind.
