Hearts of Iron Anthology

The first two parts of Hearts of Iron are the most attractive component of this program. The two programmes are very similar to each other, although in the second part a number of very important innovations have been introduced. The changes included both the user interface and, for example, diplomatic options, allowing for even more interaction with other countries. In addition, the number of manageable nations has been extended (to about 130 countries). The activities are carried out all over the globe. Players can choose between full-fledged campaigns as well as single scripts, often with fictitious backgrounds. Both games use a very classic, two-dimensional view of the map, reminiscent of the aforementioned Europa Universalis series.

The next title included in the described set is Hearts of Iron 2: Doomsday, which is a stand-alone addition to the second part of the series. One of the most important options included in Doomsday is to extend the time of the struggle. The game does not end around 1946. We can continue to do so until 1953. The enlargement also includes an alternative scenario for the end of World War II. Some improvements have also been made to the options related to the mechanics of the game. Among other things, the technological tree was extended.

The last product included in the anthology is the Doomsday booster pack, entitled Armageddon. Here we can choose between two fictional scenarios. This extension was previously distributed only in electronic form, subject, of course, to payment of an appropriate fee.
