Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

我很喜欢这款游戏，这个游戏最大的卖点就在剧情了，但游戏没有中文，而剧情也是靠大量的文本支撑的，我们中国玩家只好去网上下载“民间汉化”，但也会遇到兼容问题导致汉化乱码，只好去玩盗版的游戏，因为盗版的游戏完美兼容汉化，于是造成这样的局面：大量的中国玩家虽然购买了这款游戏，但是却又单独在网上下载盗版的中文化游戏，希望GOG能为这个系列的游戏添加中文，这对于官来说应该不是难事，甚至不会有成本，因为民间有很多现成的翻译好的文本，正式加入到游戏的语言中，让中国玩家能够真正的玩到正版的游戏

感谢英雄无敌4的盗版带给我和儿时的玩伴当年无比的快乐，欠3DO一个正版和一句谢谢。

While Heroes 3 is clearly the best, Heroes of Might and Magic 4 remains to this day to be my favourite. It has the greatest soundtrack of the whole series. While some don't like the art style, I find it quite beautiful in the 2.5D format, though I can understand why people prefer the fairy tale book aesthetic of HOMM2 or watercolour paintings of HOMM3. This also includes the two expansions which I never had the opportunity to play before back in the CD days. I like how the factions are themed on philosophy instead of simply geography, Life, Order, Nature, Chaos, Death and Might. I also like how hereos can participate in battle and become absolute demigods, especially in the campaigns. I also like how the spellschools are more specific to each faction that really highlight their themes (read the spell descriptions, they really encapsulate the respective factions well). The campaigns in the original really stand out to me as they all read like classic pulp fantasy novels. I can't speak for the expansion campaigns. It is truly remarkable for all the game's faults it came out as well as it did as did considering 3D0 and New World Computing went under so shortly after it's release. The way I describe this game is like my love of mint chocolate chip ice cream. While I won't always go for it, it is my favourite ice cream flavour that floods me with nostalgia of my childhood. This game for me is mint chip, in PC game form. I love it to pieces.

Me and my brothers (I have 6) hook up every year and play this in a big old lan party. Its a bit of a family tradition and everyone gets involved eager to see who comes out on top this year. Being an older gamer my reactions are not great but this is a lot of fun. Maybe not a new fangled 3d game but five stars from me!

Most people I know didnt like this one as much as all the others, because it was different, and because the developers changed things.. i loved it, and still do :D
