Strategy games are no strangers to political struggles. In fact, that's basically their whole thing. Hearts of Iron 4 is no different, as you take control of any nation in World War 2, to see if you can recreate history—or change it. Despite being nearly a decade old, developer Paradox Interactive is still publishing regular updates. The next expansion will focus on Asia, and the last two developer corner updates have shone the spotlight on China and the Philippines. This time, it's Japan's time in the sun, and Paradox explains its bespoke new system for unraveling the chaos of the 1930s.
