User Reviews

Hex of Steel is praised for its deep, turn-based WW2 hex strategy, strong AI, and a nostalgic Panzer General feel, plus active developer support and fair pricing. Common drawbacks are bugs and stability issues, suboptimal mobile UX with PC-tailored manuals, readability challenges, and weak onboarding/tutorials that hinder newcomers. Overall, it’s a strong, deep strategy title with room for polish on mobile and in performance.

Pros

Deep, complex WW2 hex-based strategy with a large unit roster and maps.
Active, responsive developer with regular updates and strong player support (Discord presence).
Solid AI, challenging scenarios, and high replayability across campaigns and standalone scenarios.
Nostalgic Panzer General–style feel with a fair, one-time purchase model (not pay-to-win).
Rich campaign variety and a good balance between offline and online play.

Cons

Persistent bugs and stability issues; players mention needing more frequent fixes.
Mobile/iOS experience often PC-centric: controls, manuals, and shortcuts not optimized for mobile; UI can be awkward with device notches.
Readability problems: text is very small or unreadable on some devices.
Onboarding and tutorials are weak; new players report learning curve and insufficient in-game guidance.

Recent reviews

Not sure why my review is gone. Anyways, this is a fantastic game. Its deep and complex but it’s presented well and has good QoL features One quick note for the dev is that the last version seems to have disabled the save on lose focus option. This is a useful shortcut of swords for a quick save when you’re not using a keyboard.
