Spanning from the outbreak of the Great War up until the onset of the Cold War, Darkest Hour introduces deep historical simulation mechanics, refined artificial intelligence, and expansive scenarios. Players can rewrite history across iconic global conflicts while managing military strategy, economic production, and diplomatic relations.

Whether through diplomacy or military conquest, your ultimate goal is to restore order and establish supremacy in a world plunged into chaos.
