Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game

Darkest Hour System Requirements

Published by Paradox Interactive


What we love

1. Developed by a team of experienced modders from the Paradox forum, Darkest Hour is a stand-alone Hearts of Iron game.

2. The game features a mixture of short and in-depth campaigns set across the darkest chapters of the 20th century.

3. Darkest Hour will introduce a new artificial intelligence that is now able to react to hundreds of different situations simultaneously.

4. It implements a dynamic diplomatic system that will allow the player to have a real impact on the course of history.

5. Play from the outbreak of the Great War up until the onset of the Cold War.
