Critic Reviews for Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger
To be honest, Waking the Dragon is worth it for the National Focus trees, new general mechanics and decision system alone. If you have the slightest interest in the Chinese theatre during World War 2 and have any intention of playing one of the nations or warlords, you'll be missing out on so much colour and richness by not having this DLC it'd be a real loss. If, like me, you have little to no real knowledge of what the heck was happening over there during the war, Waking the Dragon will school you real quick and in that beautiful, delicious way that only Hearts of Iron IV can.
On paper it sounds more interesting than it truly is As far as DLC goes, Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger is merely sufficient as it gives a variety of Asian countries to play. Like previous DLC, many of these countries are practically unplayable from a balance perspective, but ones like China provide a unique take. This expansion will do little for those who did not like the base game, but those in love with the game will like this.
Hearts of Iron IV: No Compromise, No Surrender is one of those HOI4 DLCs that feels dense, but mostly in a good way. It doesn't change Hearts of Iron IV dramatically like Hearts of Iron IV: Götterdämmerung or No Step Back, but it does deepen the game in ways that longtime fans will immediately appreciate.
