Fun nostalgic game, but dated
HoMaM 2 was my introduction to the series. I played it a whole bunch as a kid, and while I never got particularly good at it, I still had a great time. The graphics are very nostalgic, bright and colorful. The mechanics you recognize from later games are mostly there. Its not a bad game, by any means. What's the big issue then? Well, unfortunately... the sequel. HoMaM 3 is just such a fantastic game, that has everything 2 does and adds to it... I just dont see a reason to really go back to 2 outside occasionally playing a map just out of nostalgia. Its worth checking out, but if you're looking for a real good fantasy turn-based strategy experience, get 3. It has really good fan-made expansion to it that's still being worked on and has content being added to it to this day!
