Heroes Chronicles: All Chapters

So easy even 10-year old myself would take this as an insult. It was an already established game back then but it still tries to hold the hand of the players at early levels like telling "visit all learning stones, because it is good for you". Sigh. AI is as aggressive like a half-awake sloth. Starting bonus choices make no sense. There are maps which can be done in 2 weeks (without any optimization). The lack of any challenge makes the game like a chore. Two things made me give 3 stars: Heroes 3 is still a bit like pizza or sex, plus the storytelling is really great.

Boring and easy campaigns.

On the one hand, it's the Heroes 3 we all wanted. An actual campaign with each faction instead of a measly ~2 missions per faction. On the other hand, the dialogues and stories are just outright childish and dumb. It's like a PC game stooped low to the literacy standard of a console game. Like the dialogues of diablo1 dropping to diablo3.

Just a couple of warnings: 1- If you don’t like playing as my least favorite class - the Barbarians (Behemoths, Cyclopes, Rocs, Orcs, and Goblins)… don’t buy this because those are the troops/heroes you will command all the way through. 2- As with all Heroes Campaigns, each successive scenario has an extremely low, and easy to reach, experience cap. You max out early on in each scenario and eventually get to a point where the levels are (in my opinion) much lower than they should be for the degree of difficulty. Even on the “easy” level. So I bought it, played it and deleted it. I would recommend that you purchase something else. Something more re-playable. (i.e. something with more variety to it.)

I played a lot of Heroes of Might and Magic back in the day. It was an ok game that was fun to some extent as I was discovering the world of fantasy PC games but after some time playing it, you will probably want to move on. These eight "games" are clones of the gameplay of HoMaM 3, nothing new to the table, they should be billed as "expansions" not games. If you really really love HoMaM 3 then this one is for you, otherwise you will get bored in a few minutes.
