Heroes Chronicles: All Chapters

I played through the first two chapters of chronicles and I have to say I was somewhat disappointed. On the positive side, it is still good old HoMM3; the writing is very good and campaigns make sense.; and there is quite a nice of variety in terms of heroes and castles you command. On the negative side, I felt that the level design was much worse than in the original HoMM3. As others pointed out, the game feels way too easy. Also, the level design felt rather boring and unoriginal. Because of that, some missions felt very tedious. Overall, I only recommend it for big fans of HoMM3.

I won't go into detail much, but you should be aware of this: The campaigns are pretty easy if you're a seasoned Heroes 3 player. If you rush to the end as you normally would you'll loose some of the story as a lot of it is eventuated (I'm sure it's a word) as timed events. Take your time is what I'm saying. In many maps I ended up just passing a few weeks worth of turns just to get all the events. Buy it.

Heroes chronicles was clearly developed for the fans of HOMM3. I had purchased online all six chronicles from 3DO just before they went bankrupt and managed to also nab the two free downloadable chronicles before they disappeared forever...or not quite so, it would seem! Thanks GOG! If you loved playing Heroes 3 into those late nights as I did, you'll love these chronicles as well. As mentioned already, they are all simply campaigns and no RMG. Honestly though, this is just fine! If you buy this, it's because you love HOMM 3 and you would therefore already have the other "missing" features with the original titles. The play is the same, but the stories are great and involving. The price is very reasonable for what you get. I had paid $20 for each chronicles when purchased online and was not disappointed, so $10 for everything is a great deal.

The writing in these chronicles is top notch. I cried on most episodes, characters are so well developed. THe minus comes from gameplay cause it forces you to end turns just so you read the whole story ) - and I found it a bit too easy (but I've been playing Heroes for a decade) I'd love to see a movie from these episodes, if some1 can get them to a director, trust me, he's say it's gold.

I loved every part of it, I really enjoyed playing and the story is brilliant! I don't agree with those before me, maybe it's better if they exaggerate the difficulty of a game and make it unplayable? This happened the Heroes III as well. Need a challenge? Go to the dark souls! But this game is for people who want a great story, who want to play it easy, enjoying it all. This series and the Immortal Hero gave me that, which I am happy about.
