Comments on Hex of Steel for Android

★★★★★ Steve Stanley · Sep 7, 2025

I hope I don't offend War Frogs Studio by saying this but this game is a must-have for fans of the old Panzer/Allied General console games from the early 90s. I have been looking for someone to make this game for decades. I can't believe it only has 5K downloads. I only wish I had known about it when it was on Kickstarter. The only complaint I have is that there's no way to toggle the hex grid on/off. Otherwise, absolutely 10/10, will highly recommend to all (don't mean to gush 😎).

★★★★★ Miguel Chavez · Jul 11, 2024

This is amazing one of the best mobile strategy games, love how many scenarios and things you can do.

★★★★★ Richard Liu · Oct 6, 2026

This is hands-down the best WW2 game available on mobile. No ads or in-game microtransactions, lots of content, and the developer is actively supporting the game. The game plays similarly to the classic Panzer General series, but beneath the surface there's a very well-designed system of logistics, morale, and manpower. My only complaint is that the campaign gets too easy for the player once you've accumulated a large core force (15+ units), so I would recommend starting in 1942 or later.

★★☆☆☆ James Rice · Sep 30, 2026

When Germany invaded Poland, they out matched the Polish military. Poland didn't have the resources available to challenge the German forces. But in this game, Poland is able to outmatch Germany, build a superior force, and counter-attack with a numerically superior force. What a turn-off. This game sucks.

★★☆☆☆ Mik Jms · Jun 19, 2026

Nearly impossible to figure out, learning curve too high. Not very mobile friendly. Needs a better tutorial - accidentally wasted my move turn trying to look at unit details, then couldn't do the next task of moving units because out of moves.
