Good, but needs work

Slightly bellow expectations, but nothing fatal that cannot be fixed, hopefully it will. Goods: * very cool art, both visual and audio * good strategy, motivates to think and plan, not just to hoard troops and brute-force you victory * nice rework of classical game mechanics with a few cool additions * long awaited modernized and improved version of HOMM 2/3, what else do you need? :) Bads: * embarrassingly slow. I get it that optimization is not the main goal for the early release, but guys, this is just awful! I have nice PC with SDD / 16 BG RAM / GTX 2070 / Core I7 and this one plays as if I'm back in high school trying to run Heroes 4 on Celeron 300 with 32 mb of RAM. Unacceptable. * not quite sure if any of the special abilities of the troops actually matter, so far they don't seem to affect anything that much, mb need more time to get it right * somewhat flicky and random magic casting system, not sure if I like it * lack of interactivity on the map, tons of nice animated objects for no reason, cannot interact with them and they just add to the visual noise, unlike in HOMM series, where each object meant something Overall looks like a nice start of a game that could make it. Hopefully more content will be added and issues will be fixed. Best of luck to to the developers, you're on right track!

Not Ready

Tried to love this game, but it is too clunky and unpollished... Will give it a few months, then try again...

Beautiful fantasy turn-based tactics

I never played the old Heroes of Might and Magic Games a lot, because i had my difficulties with getting into the games. But I had a lot of fun with this one. First of all, i really like the art style and the animations. In particular in the battles. The Campaign is fun to play, but have some diffculty spikes and unpredictalbe nasty encounters. I played on the second difficulty level of three and had to know the strengths, the abilities and the weaknesses of my troops. Unfortunately the missions each of the four campagins are not very varied and the story is forgettable. However the four Factions and their Units are well made and differ from each other. Then there's multiplayer support, hot seat coop, mod support, map and campagin editor , alternative game modes like puzzle levels and so on. All in all it's a very well made game with a lot of potential. I had a lot of fun with it. I hope it will be successful and we get some extensions in the near future.

Exciting, but lacking and cringeworthy

The campaigns seem a little shallow and boring, especially the first one. You get your cringeworthy self-righteous protagonist, who never fails to self-engrandaise and mention multiple times how "strong" she is and so on. Every two steps you take on the map there's a bunch more painful dialogue to get through, she never just shuts up and lets you play the game. The game looks great, plays well so far but the starting units are so incredibly boring. Tutorial even tells you how many units can have abilities and to check them out, but you basically start with two types of basic ranged units and one basic melee unit with zero abilities. After some time you get a fourth, which gives a boring stat buff to friendlies and not much else. It gets better but why does this game even need to have so many boring units in one faction?

Magic Feeling Restored

Given most reviews are from the very Early Access period; the game now has significantly more content, polish and complex systems. 4 complete campaigns with overhauled maps; challenge maps, a random map generator, a map & campaign editor; improved UI, significantly rebalancing and improved AI. It feels nothing like the game it was 1.5 years ago, it really starts feeling feature complete without 'placeholder content and oozes love for the genre and basically quality ! No asset flips, but deeply atmospheric pixel art, music and storytelling. And significantly improved 'spells', allowing for way more diverse and interesting battles, even from the start (making it way more fun than in earlier builds). If you're a HoMM fan, this is a must play by now (imho) and it's different enough to not feel like a rip-off or clone, but has the same addictive on-more-turn feeling to it.
