Good But Not Great
Graphics - Pretty solid for an indie game. Spell effects are nice and sparkly, Models and the world itself are quite nice. The only real issue I had is that it can sometimes be hard to tell where you can and cannot go when it comes to choosing your path. Sound - Soundtrack is nice and suits the the atmosphere of the game. Sound effects are not not overly varied but they are adequate for a game of this style and get the job done. Story - It's not Shakespeare but there is some worldbuilding and lore to set the stage and it's more than enough to hold the game together and give you a reason to do what you do. UI - The game does not appear to have mouse support, at least not if you have a gamepad plugged in. For this type of game, that is a big miss. Using the gamepad to navigate the interface and menus as well as moving through the world, feels unintuitive and awkward. It's useable but could be so much better with mouse control. Gameplay - There are multiple difficulty levels so it's suitable for beginners to advanced strategists. The battles play out on a grid just like the HOMM games and they feel pretty well balanced. You collect resources, fight monsters and build up your stronghold. It has pretty much what you would want and expect from this type of game. It does include a food system so you have to plan your route in such a way as to be able to gather enough food to keep your army fed or they will eventually weaken and die. I find this a bit annoying but it's manageable. Summary - It's a pretty solid HOMM clone...especially from an indie developer. The lack of mouse control and the food mechanic bring the score down a bit for me but if you are a fan of the genre, it's definitely worth checking out if you can get bast the few little niggles.
