Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

I played about a half an hour of interrupted gameplay that was caused mainly by stability issues. The game looks and plays fantastic if it actually could stay online for more than a few minutes first. I watched reviews of this game, I played the older games myself. But it seems this one never got the TLC needed to make it compatible with current generation PCs. This game barely functions on windows 10, any compatability settings or precautions to enable older games to work doesn't help 100% of the time with this game. It should work fine on older platforms but windows 7 and above it will have difficulty running. The game will crash frequently when you get it to run, and if you can't get it to run it will simply not even boot or just white screen.

the devs haven't updated this game or whomever has the rights to it now to work with hd resolutions i would be much more happier updated the game to work with hd screen resolutions but overall the game is good

This game tried to be something it isn't - good. It tried too hard. The graphics were fairly decent, I'll admit, and some new things here and there gave a nice new change. But overall, I feel like it failed to become as good as its predecessor - if not better. And I am not very good at making long, detailed reviews, but I am sure most HoMM fans agree with me when I say that HoMM III was far better than this one.

This game is broken, plain and simple. Sure this title has a few more additions like giving certain monsters the ability to cast specific spells from an actual list. And the graphics are nicer. And there are a few issues that I could overlook like having no more creature upgrades and, in general, having less individual army units then Heroes 2. But there are two problems that take out any resemblance of strategy or tactics out of this game. The first one being that heroes are now playable units during the fights. This may seem awesome, but this means that whoever goes first and whoever has the most archers can and will kill the other player's hero in the first or second turn (even the computer does it). And when your hero dies you can no longer cast magic as well as give your units those awesome stat bonuses. There is no realistic way to protect yourself from it and in all likelihood your hero will die in any serious fight. Try strategizing around that! The second game breaking mechanic is that neutral enemy units now have an ability to move around on the map after the player's turn. This is easily countered by making sure to stop your army just outside of their range. But what that also means is that you can now use small armies made up of literally 1 soldier to lure out a horde of dragons guarding a gold mine or an artifact and capture the mine/collect resources/pick up the artifacts without ever having to fight an enemy. This completely throws the game's resource management out of whack.
