While, at the first glance, looking like a very similar game to (and no doubt it is inspirated by) Heroes of Might and Magic series, it has developed it's own flavor and that's where this game gets it just right. Graphics and sounds (especially the nostalgia-inducing soundtrack) are both very pleasing and kick you right into the SNES era. For the procedural generation and customization part, it really gives you the depth to every run, you have to choose the right troops to deploy in the fight and you choose the variety of your kingdom's troops according to your hero's specific set of skills or simply by your own preference. While combat is not too tactically dense, it is fun to position your armies and watch them fight the other side, while you focus on your hero's spells to change the outcome of a fight. Definitely a strong recommendation for players who are looking up to experiencing a new game with HoMM/King's Bounty's style. For players who are new to the concept, if you like turn-based/real-time strategy and RPG games and would like to mix them together, this game is for you.
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition in their full glory. Not some new remastered version without the option to play the classic, as it was made to be. Furthermore, you now even have an option to play Warcraft II version which includes anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering, so it could fit to today's big screens. I would love the optional download for old DOS versions of Warcraft II: ToD & BtDP also, but am completely fine with Battle.net Edition. I encourage everyone, please, not to post low rating just because of the price; I know it may be upsetting, but that is not what these legendary games deserve.
