Doomsday is doing great across all markets and it's great to see that the interest for the Hearts of Iron franchise is still going strong! Here's a summary of what some are saying about the title for those interested:

"Hearts of Iron 2 is grand-strategic war-gaming that makes CPUs convulse and spreadsheets buckle. But that's nothing new to year-old HoI2 vets, and they'll be pleased to know the Doomsday standalone expansion's everything that Paradox promised..."

“If you’ve never played Hearts of Iron II, now is your chance. If you loved the game, this is probably worth the cheap investment.”

“The only thing that’s doomed here is your spare time, which will take another serious hit with the release of Paradox Interactive’s latest strategy game.”

“The improved AI, extended play, and new features – combined with the $20 price – make Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday a steal of a deal.”
Game Chronicles Magazine 81%

“Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday is a World War 2 RTS game that adds what fans wanted from the first of this sequel.”
Game Vortex 85%

“Hearts of Iron 2: Doomsday is a solid strategy game, rich with layers upon layers of tactical gameplay, that will immerse you for months, even years, especially considering all the user-made content that is springing up. Couple this with the fact it’s only a mere $20, and that makes this title a real steal for the history buffs out there, and may just make some new fans of the genre to boot. Better yet, you may just learn something…”

“As a relative "freshman", one of us, (JB) whilst still somewhat swamped in actual combat situations, finds the other new features of the game both realistic and challenging. The other, (MB) at ease with both aspects, warmly recommends the additional features of HOI 2: Doomsday as a very significant further advance in the evolution of HOI.”
