Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 10 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Réécrire l'Histoire -y compris de façon politiquement incorrecte- en développant des approches stratégiques audacieuses, voilà ce que vous propose avant tout Darkest Hour (version optimisée de l'excellent Hearts of Iron II). Malgré sa complexité hautement chronophage, je considère Darkest Hour comme un bijou qui ne saurait atterrir dans n'importe quelle main. En précisant que je n'ai jamais réussi à accrocher aux épisodes ultérieurs, plus fades et insipides à mon goût : on n'y met pas le même cœur à l'ouvrage en y jouant. Et leurs politiques ruineuses de DLC n'arrangent rien. Un point spécifique doit être souligné à mon sens : le souci accru de réalisme dans les derniers "opus" ne reproduit pas ma fascination "autistique" pour chaque partie de Darkest Hour. Rares sont les jeux vous donnant l'opportunité de proclamer l'avènement de la RDA dès 1933, après tout... Entre autres options plus ou moins atypiques à explorer.
this game is not for the weak
grafica pessima inoltre il gioco è troppo difficile e incomprensibile
muy bueno el juego,un clasico, se los recomiendo a todos los que le guste este tipo de juegos,ademas los hechos historicos estan muy bien hechos,bueno en si se los recomiendo a todos
Bardzo lubie te grę, jest wciągająca. Lubię ten rozwój i potem starcie z 3 Rzeszą. Oczywiście robię sobie przewage technologiczną i przemysłową. :)
Vergesst Hoi 3: Zu komplex um der Komplexität Willen. Vergesst Hoi 4: Zu "casual" mit zweitausend DLCs. Nehmt Darkest Hour: TIEF in den Systemen, aber LEICHT zugänglich. Einzige Wermutstropfen: 1. Kann hintenraus microlastig werden und 2. sehr stark geskriptet (ähnlich Hoi 4). Insgesamt wie ein Skoda Fabia: Niemals sexy, aber egal wie alt - zuverlässig und ein treues Gefährt...öhm...WW2-Gaming-Spaßbringer.
really fun
