Awesome WW2 grand strategy game!
After having spent countless hours playing it and enjoying it to the full, I can safely vouch that Darkest Hour is an awesome game and, as far as I can tell, the unsurpassed best in its series and genre. The game is easy to learn, very addictive, wide, deep, with huge replayability and customization options, rewarding although difficult to master It's an hugely improved spin-off of the WW2 grand strategy game Hearts of Iron 2, developed by a small group of aficionados turned developers and published by Paradox. It features an extended timeline (1914-1964) including a WWI scenario, support for higher and modern resolution, a better map with a lot of new provinces, a greatly improved combat system, better and more accurate research trees and OoBs, an overhaul of the AI, including the optional automation of very boring tasks such as resource trade deals, a very cool decision system in addition to the events one (to handle things such as troop mobilizations) and a much better diplomacy and intelligence system. In addiction to this, you get all the usual great features of the HoI series: pick ANY nation in the world (seriously, any one), lead it through fire, flames and strife and write your own history. Finally, it has been supported a lot by the developer, and has a really active and great community. Indeed, its full of great, HIGH QUALITY mods that rival with the game itself, and multiply the fun and the longevity. You have great alternate history mods, like Kaiserreich (what if the Central Powers won WWI?), several others focused on improving historical accuracy (World in Flames, Total Realism), other greatly expanding the timeline (Peace without Victory for the 20s, New World Order 2 for post 1964, Modern Day Scenario...), and even some very good total conversions (Fallout, Fatherland). In short, get this game. It's a must if you a strategy gamer enthusiast, and if you are not, it's likely you'll become hooked after playing it ;)
