Heroes of Might and Magic® 2: Gold

The first time i've played Heroes of Might and Magic II was in 1997 on windows95 at my cousin's place in august, oh boy have i missed it 28 years later, this game has aged so bloody good ! I eventually bought Heroes III in 1999 and played it of course much longer than II but i haven't forgotten that game at all, thanks to dedicated developpers and to GOG for the opportunity to relive my childhood and it is exactly as it was when i was a child, HOURS AND HOURS of gameplay, for those who still don't understand the principle of the game, it's a kind of strategy game, tour by tour, meaning your movements, ressources as well as building possibilities are limited so once your moving bar is as good as empty and invested into a new infrastructure in your castle then simply pass your turn and build your own armada with ressources you can find on the map, learn new spells that can be a game changer in battle, find treasures and artefacts, this game offers it all, strategy, combat, magic, several races and heroes with abilities to choose from, Heroes II-III, Age of Empire I, Warcraft II and Tzar The Burden of the Crown, a MUST try ! BUY IT DUDE !

I've been gaming for 36 years and among hundreds of games I've played this one has the best replay value, in the top 3 for algorithms, top 12 for soundtrack, and excellent balance of tachtics and strategy. I have probably logged over 2000-3000 hours total since I started playing it in 1995. User-generated maps available for download. Impressive computer intelligence for its era. Every time I feel like I have mastered the game I find some new angle to develop and explore. There is also considerable replay value in random map generation set on the hardest difficulty.

einfach unvergessliches Spielerlebnis

Really good game, but lacks online game on this GOG version... Too bad!

I love these campaigns. The full motion video and animated mission briefings with full voice action, really put you into the story and the mission of each stage. Finally the fantasy world and animated maps truly bring out the life of the game. Wonderful, the future titles cannot compare to this one, and must stand on their own when compared with perfection. My only wish is that it come to the Mac as I do not have a windows box, so that I may purchase and relive the adventures, curtesy of GOG.
