How to play Land der Hoffnung on Mac

Game summary

Land der Hoffnung (german for "Land of Hope") is a real-time strategy game that could be best described as a The Settlers clone. Playing as the leader of the small, but overpopulated country Breehn, you are tasked to lead your people to a better world. Over the course of 40 missions, you'll build settlements, train units and wage war just as you do in The Settlers.

Play Land der Hoffnung on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Land der Hoffnung on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
