FAQ
Answers follow the official page, the developer's public replies, and what the current build already shows.
Where do I download Hamburger Hill?
From Wesware's itch.io page. The game is free, and the developer accepts pay-what-you-want support. Windows and macOS builds can use different version numbers.
Can I play it in the browser?
No. Hamburger Hill is a download for Windows and macOS from Wesware's itch.io page. There is no official browser version and no mobile version.
What do I do in the campaign?
Plan an attack on the map, equip soldiers before the battle, and fight it yourself. Take territory, then hold the counterattack.
What can I change in Quick Play?
The official page lists terrain, weather, and opposing forces, and describes battles with up to 64 participants across as many as three factions.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows and macOS. On 30 October 2026 the itch.io files were hamburger-hill-0.7.0-windows.zip and hamburger-hill-0.4.0-macos.zip, so the Mac build is behind. The developer has said version 1 is planned for Steam and that controller support is being worked on.
Is this a simulation of the 1969 battle?
No. The game is set in fictional Granovia. The name and the opening quotation point at the May 1969 fight for Dong Ap Bia, Hill 937. The history is on the blog. Do not read the game's factions as the US Army or the PAVN units from that battle.
Does the game cost money?
The itch.io page says the game is free and that you can pay what you think is fair.
Is there multiplayer?
The developer has said the current focus is single-player campaigns for each faction. Multiplayer is a long-term goal, not a current mode.
