Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
About
Take charge of history’s greatest war machines in Hearts of Iron IV, a grand strategy wargame that challenges your strategic abilities and political insight. Refight World War II at the head of nation from the time period, building up an industrial powerhouse and a diplomatic alliance that will effectively wage war on ideological opponents.
Hearts of Iron IV is more than a historical simulation. Alternate historical paths open up with almost every decision you make, from small ones such as where to launch your attack to crack open Fortress Europe, to large ones, such as whether to re-establish democracies or long forgotten monarchies.
In Hearts of Iron IV, you can plan the military strategy almost down to the rivets, as you design division templates for your armies, research new modes of production and means of destruction, set out factory instructions and pursue political objectives. Almost no part of the war goes untouched as you guide a nation of your choice through humanity’s darkest hour.
Death or Dishonor: focuses on eastern and central European middle powers
Together for Victory: focuses on British Commonwealth nations
Waking the Tiger: focuses on China and Japan
Man the Guns: focuses on naval features and alternate history paths for the United States

After 662 hours in Hearts of Iron IV and owning all the DLCs, I can confidently say this is one of the best grand strategy games I've ever played. The amount of depth is incredible. Every country offers a different experience, and the DLCs add so much content that no two campaigns feel the same. Whether you enjoy historical accuracy or creating completely alternate histories, HOI4 gives you endless possibilities. Learning the combat system, logistics, production, diplomacy, and naval warfare takes time, but that's exactly what makes every victory feel rewarding. One thing I didn't expect is how much HOI4 helped me in school. It genuinely improved my knowledge of history and geography. I became much more familiar with countries, borders, capitals, historical events, and World War II in general. It made history classes more interesting and even helped me remember geographical locations much more easily. The modding community is also amazing. Mods like Road to 56, Kaiserreich, Millennium Dawn, and many others add thousands of extra hours of content. If you're willing to invest time into learning the mechanics, this game is absolutely worth it. Even after 662 hours, I'm still discovering new strategies and having fun. Highly recommended!

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 23: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

No matter what I do, what I try, what DLC I buy, I just can't seem to understand this game. I even had one of my friends teach me how to play, He watched and told me how to do various things. After near 200 grueling hours in this game I just can't seem to understand it. The main problem is I dump so many hours building up a save to around when WW2 starts, and then just lose it all due to some mistake I made in like '38 or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's an incredibly unfun experience. And I really Don't understand how it gets such a cult following. I've done so many things to try and like this game. I wish I could honestly get my money back. I try to play as germany, blitz through europe, then get overwhelmed by the soviets, So i decide to try out the soviets, Build up the whole game for when Germany comes knocking on my border and despite All my preparations I forgot to build the forts on our border which led to literally everything I've trained just being annihilated and the loss of like a 6 hour save. I wish there was like a tutorial or something that would like help me understand it better. I've tried videos, peers, online discussions and it just doesnt click. Leading to an incredibly unfun, and infuriating experience. Another thing is I genuinely hate how horrible the frontlines system is in the game. Its clunky, and borderline confusing at best. When you start to lose your frontline it just crumbles very fast because of how near braindead the ai for reinforcing tiles is.
i don't know whats going on
la mejor parte es cuando atacas una provincia defendida por una division con 42 divisiones de infanteria y 5 de tanques
