Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

Heroes of Might and Magic 4 is the best game in the series. Yes, 3 gets all the love, but 4 improves on 3 in so many ways. The units are all very unque, all having special skills and abilities that really make the tactical combat shine. Everything is perfectly done from fantasy archetypes, like a pack of harpies that can swoop in from across the battlefield, attack, then fly away before a retaliation. The mage units actually have spell lists. The Heroes are on the battlefield fighting and becoming super powerhouse units themselves. The new tactical combat system is a huge improvement over the chess board layout of the rest of the series. And the graphics are amazing. everything looks so well colored, and expressive. The units look like 3D models rendered as sprites, a popular techinque at the time that makes the visuals really pop. And then there is the soundtrack. The game is worth the price just for the soundtrack alone. This game features the legendary Paul Romero's very best work. Its audio bliss. Then there is value. There is hundreds of hours of content in this Complete edition. Plus 20 years of high quality fan made maps to download, from epic battle maps to full on RPG's. The best map editing tools of any Heroes game. There is also a super quick HD patch that is super easy to install and gives you super crisp HD widesceen. If you like Heroes, or 4X, or strategy games in general, you do yourself a diservice not to own and play Heroes of Might and Magic 4 Complete.

Please release a patch for a decent Win10 performance. The game freezes and stops working at all. the game itself is 10/10

During battle, there are times that the game crashes. It is really annoying to save all the time because of the fear of losing your progress and it is also annoying to have to actually terminate the application yourself when it crashes, to relaunch it again. In any case, the game is the best of the series in my opinion, but with a HOMAM3 with both expansions competing against it really hard. In any case, if the game will be fixed, I will give it the stars it really deserves.

I like it. All the negative reviews come from the fact gameplay was changed from 3. That is fine. It is a fun game in its own right. I took off a star because the game freezes randomly in a battle sequence. I have researched by this is and the general concensus is HoMM4 does not like multicore especially on Windows 10. Someone has released a so called for for this: https://www.gog.com/forum/heroes_of_might_and_magic_series/graphic_gl_wrapper_for_all_heroes_heroes_of_might_and_magic_1_2_3_4_and_chronicles_for_better_wo I turned off cold CPU as it still crashed (but less often) after using the dll, so we will see.

5代之前估计这作的评价可能仅高于初代。但不影响它作为一款极具个性的策略游戏在整个英雄无敌历史上闪耀自己独特的光辉。
