I installed this game because it was on sale for 2.49$. I started playing and hated it but for some reason I kept playing. I just closed the game after 2 hours of straight play and I will probably play it again in the next hour... For some reason I just want to keep playing. 1) The game continuity works well, resource gathering, treasures, quest, recruiting... You are always up to something. 2) Difficulty is perfect, if you play wise you will not die but you will be losing a lot of units in your army and will have to go back to town and restock. 3) The leveling system is interesting, with a lot of decisions involved that will affect your gameplay. It was well worth my 2.49$... An ok mix of Fable, heroes of Might and Magic IV.
It was February 1997 when my parents announced that we would get our first computer in the house. 15 minutes later I was at the store buying a PC gamer so I could get some games ready when I get the computer. We only received the computer mid-April so I spent two months reading the same PC Gamer and staring at the CD with the adventures of the Coconut monkey and a demo of Heroes II. So whats the deal? I played the demo of this game, one single map, for 8 months without getting bored.. This game was released in the golden age of fantasy games with the likes of Diablo, Warcraft 2, etc. I give credits to the simple gameplay, nice soundtrack, immersion, this is a feel good game and definately worth 9.99$ BUY THIS GAME
