Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

Does not work on large wide screen: gives black window and sound only (Windows 10). Fixed with setting screen resolution to 1014x768 before launching the game. Nice game and especially soundtracks! Чёрный экран на широком дисплее под Windows 10. Починил установкой разрешения 1024x768 перед запуском игры. Классная игра и отличные саундтрэки!

Big HOMM fan throughout the years and really enjoyed HOMM IV. Graphics are solid, music is great, gameplay is fantastic. If you're looking for a game that will suck life from your bones and keep you glued to your PC then pick up HOMM IV. You won't regret it, but wife/husband/boyfriend/girfriend/kids/boss might...

Heroes of Might & Magic 4 is a flawed but underrated turn-based strategy game. Like the other games in the series, you recruit armies of fantasy creatures and fight tactical, chess-like battles. Heroes 4 was rushed, which means it's not as polished as the rest of the series. The AI is probably the most notable deficiency. It does alright, but you'll undoubtedly see it do some boneheaded things. Some minor but obvious quality-of-life improvements are missing. There are no major problems, but it's enough to comment on. A lot of major gameplay changes were made from the earlier games. Heroes 4 has the most RPG elements in the series, to the point where you can forgo recruiting monsters and instead wander around the map with a party of adventurers. This is so much fun that it makes up for some of the changes that I didn't like, such as getting rid of unique bonuses for each hero. Instead of starting with cool special abilities, you make your hero unique over time. It's not a bad system, but heroes feel more interchangeable. Some other aspects of the series were also streamlined, making this one of the easiest HOMM games to pick up and play. The graphics are pretty good, though the game doesn't support modern widescreen monitors unless you're willing to install an unofficial patch. The music is amazingly good and is worth the game's price by itself. In keeping with the streamlined nature of the game, the tactical combat isn't especially complex, but it's a lot of fun. The campaigns are also fun. Recommended if you enjoy both classic CRPGs and turn-based strategy games. If you're not into CRPGs, this might be veer too far away from the classic TBS formula for your taste.

GET IT!!!!!! only homm i still play on the regular. i love being able to mix and match abilities on my heroes and see how many units they can take down by themselves. there is a lot of depth in this game with the addition of heroes on the battle field, the many skills leaders can learn, units per faction, resource management, and simply trolling a buddy by stealing mines. doubt they have multiplayer anymore but man was it amazing back in the day. i just wish they could find the magic they had with this game in the later installments. i keep buying them and they keep getting worse.

Thats my first HOMM game and still after so much years I love it. Chaos Campaign in original game is the best one in all of HOMM games IMHO.
