Nice indie similar to Heroes of M&M

It presents a good variety of units,builds,upgrades and spells. The system to recover mana points is also interresing. Very nice pixel art that rotates slightly with zoom. The plot is divided into 4 acts each with 4 chapters each act for a faction, so it is not very long although being on increasing difficulty it does not last that long either. Also you can create stories with the editor and share them with the community. Among the few shortcomings you have an unexceptional story with characters somewhat similar in certain characteristics but the lore and game world absolutely captivate. The other is the Italian translation which is not perfect but still allows anyone to enjoy the game and I thank the authors for the translation. For these first hours of play also I seem to notice a slight tactical advantage for factions with a more powerful late game and a bit like the last might and magic heroes (but much,much less than these) in the campaign it is easy to be outnumbered. But I reserve more hours of play for a more detailed judgment. For now it is absolutely promoted.

A worthy successor to the HoMM games

I just grabbed this the other day, and haven't played around all that much so far, but I think this is a real gem in the making. The inspiration should be obvious to anyone who has played the older Heroes of Might and Magic titles, and this game makes it clear that it intentionally builds on that. It's a turn based strategy with an overland map and attendant battle maps, in which you pitch characters commanding fantasy armies against all sorts of foes. There are some new twists here, but the basic formula is pretty much the same. Currently there's a bunch of pre-made maps for play against the AI or other players, as well as two campaigns featuring two of the currently avabilable factions. The pixelated retro-ish style is reminiscent of other reasonably new indie titles such as Songs of Syx and Crying Suns, both excellent games in their separate genres, and it also echoes the style of the early HoMM games. I think it works very well, and I commend the developers for going with it. None of the titles after Heroes of Might and Magic III really managed to capture the same sort of feeling, and I think it partly is the reason why the following titles haven't been as memorable. The sound and music do their job just fine and mesh well with all the rest. What content there is is already very enjoyable, and I look forward to further updates expanding on the sorts of terrain (and hopefully an underground map layer!), as well as on more factions, although the ones already in the game feel quite unique and interesting on their own! Normally I'd say the asking price is a bit steep for an early access title, but I don't think that's the case here. If you loved the early Heroes of Might and Magic games, you'll very probably love this. This is shaping up to be a worthy successor title, and a introduction to this particular sub-genre of turn based strategy games.

Sieht schlechter aus als HOMM3

Pixelart ist so eine Sache an sich. Subjektiv bin ich nicht überzeugt davon. Wäre schön, wenn die Grafik mindestens die Standards eines HOMM3 HD erfüllen würde. Sonst ist das Spiel gut und würde fünf Sterne verdienen. Schade dass es optisch so schlecht aussieht.

Quite the potential

Game so far seems to have quite a potential to be a worthy successor to venerable Heroes III. Visuals are nice (though I still have to ask myself why 23 years old Heroes look better), though the map can be a bit too busy and combat phase is lacking due to art style, which was clearly never really meant to be shown up so close. Lack of dedicated town screen is regrettable, but I wouldn't note it as objective negative. Sound design and music is a good - though nothing as memorable as simply epic soundtrack made by Paul Romero. 4 factions are so far nice, with an interesting twist to otherwise typical fantasy base, I especially like the theme of Rana. There definitely needs to be more though, which I suspect will get dealt with as game progresses through the EA. So why just 3 stars? Well, the core of "heroes-like" games is a balance. Which is admittedly very tricky thing to achieve - after all not even HoM&M3 achieved it fully. But there is a difference between fairly balanced game and wholly unbalanced one, with Songs of Conquest sadly falling into the later one (at the time of writing this review!). This should be pointed out, because this is in my eyes a main reason why this game will ultimately succeed or fail.

Reject modernity, return to fun

Super fun game, captures what made the old HOMM games great while being modern and looking stellar.
