Good strategic turn based fantasy game
Never played with HOMM 3 so I can't understand all the comparisons down there So, I speak only for this sort of mix D&D+Warhammer (Dungeon army is embarassing from this point of view). I start with a consideration: I find the turn based system more intriguing since it forces you to develop strategic and tactical thinking in place of the more technic skills that require real time (in Warcraft and similars, winning or losing is entirely up to the quickness of acting, more similar to an action than a strategic game). So this is a huge pro for me. To the game: the Campaign can be a little boring; the story isn't anything new. Multiplayer vs AI is quite challenging on hard difficulty (yeah, the AI cheats a lot... but knowing that you can take some countermeasures), easy and normal are for starters (1-2 plays is enough), heroic is too much frustrating (resources are too low...), only for hardcore players. All races have their characteristics and their tactics and is very funny to try every aspect and every use of the hero skills. Multiplayer vs humans: don't know, couldn't find anyone... Maybe the community is dead? Duel mode is a little pleasant adding that helps you to elaborate tactics with a pre-formed army. The new race is a little unbalanced but quite funny (the funniest for me remains Sylvans and Dungeon). Some mechanics are clunky and frustrating, based entirely on luck... for example the random encounters of creatures on map, spells in towns, magic artifacts, and the heroes' skills tree (in 30+ plays with Inferno I've NEVER been able to obtain the ultimate Gating skill, even knowing exactly which other skills were needed). But for these inconvenients there are tons of mods and a great map editor so the players can try to balance the problems and create his own maps and campaigns. So, a good game - not a masterpiece of course - that can offer you nothing more and nothing less that a lot of hours of fun.
