Hex of Steel
Anecdote
Created by independent French developer Sebastien Maraux, Hex of Steel is a true love letter to the classic hexagonal wargame, in the tradition of Panzer General and Steel Panthers. The title stands out for its encyclopaedic ambition: over a thousand modelled units, dozens of documented campaigns, a free scenario editor. The player manoeuvres armies on hexagonal grids, with a rigorous simulation of terrain, weather, supply lines, and morale. The approach is aimed at serious wargame enthusiasts, with no concessions on tactical depth. Sessions range from a short one-hour scenario to a long campaign spanning several dozen hours. The title covers the Second World War in its entirety — European, African, Eastern, and Pacific fronts — with particular attention to faithfully reconstructed historical operations. Available on PC, iOS, and Android under an affordable premium model, Hex of Steel offers exemplary cross-save functionality and feature parity. The functional art direction prioritises strategic readability over visual flourishes. The international wargame community particularly appreciates the scenario editor, which multiplies replayability. The French developer maintains a direct dialogue with his community via Discord and specialist forums. Free updates regularly add new units, scenarios, and interface improvements. For fans of classic wargames, Hex of Steel represents a remarkable work of authorship. French hexagonal pride in serious mobile wargaming. A title made with passion that deserves recognition from enthusiasts of the genre.
