Good Game To Play As Communists? HOI? (hexbear.net)

I think I'm just looking for some hope or catharsis lately. What's a good game where I can see some success as a communist group, country, etc?

Would playing as the USSR for Hearts of Iron IV work? It sounds super satisfying to defeat the Nazis in a war, but the game also sounds extremely complicated - well, the one time I tried it (and found a 6 hour tutorial or something like that on YouTube, then gave up).

What do people think of that game? Are there other alternatives to scratch that itch?

There's the recent game where you play as the Mensheviks or Bolsheviks post USSR Revolution in 1917, but I'm still figuring out the German SDP version of the game. My brain isn't ready to learn all the nuance of a new version of that yet, I don't think lol.

HOI4 is good, check out the following mods: Kaiserreich (USA civil war run), TNOMod (WRRF russia) or The Fire Rises (China run) for good commie content

Vic3 kinda sucks for commie stuff. Its just not fleshed out enough for anything fun to happen

Suzerain has some commie paths for both of the campaigns. Use save editing if you want even more catharsis

Save editing?

[–] makotech222@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yeah the game has pretty tight resource management; you can edit your saves to give you more, though.

Oh I was wondering if you meant something like that, or save scumming. Which I've done in many a Slay the Spire game lol.
