Elemental Heroes

Apologies for the short review & playtime. After logging in & getting to level 2 which was all of 2 minutes I was prompted that the servers were coming down. Anyways: Logged in. Completed the tutorial. Levelled up. Recieved pop up that wouldnt go away insisting I upgrade my resource capacity & after using the resources gathered during the tutorial to upgrade I am met with a "buy gems to increase size" Uninstalled. Rag on me as much as you want for the short "review" but when it really is that quick to see what kind of game it is then theres not much to say.

Edit - I have changed my review. After the 24 hour PvP immunity was up and I was playing the PvE part of the game, I saw that you're forced into PvP no matter what so that you cannot even play the PvE part of the game. As soon as someone decides to attack you you're thrown into the game and if they have spent more than you, you will lose, you will not have a chance. So then you lose charges. Ok well that would be fine except when you go back to the PvE part of the game to get more charges, someone attacks you again and you're forced into PvP to the point you eventually lose all your charges and then you're forced to spend real money to recharge them. It's a vicious cycle. You cannot get more charges because people are constantly attacking you. This is a shame because it's a decent game otherwise. This ONE point will cause the game to fail. For this reason alone the game is heavily P2W and is why I must give it a negative review.

Heroes of Might & Magic wrapped into a P2W + MMO type styled game with cheap graphics and slow gameplay.

After a few hours of playing it, I'd say this game is pretty fun, quite fills a gap in the era of turn-based strategy games. This is almost only about battles, so if you want a game where a dense series of few-minute battles follow each other then you will like it. On the other hand if you want something with complex quests, story and game world then this game is not for you. Pros: - it loads & runs quickly even on mediocre hardware - simple to learn, no complex game world, limited number of unit types - the battles are fun (if you like Heroes3-style battles) - I don't feel it to be pay-to-win (with money you can progress faster but no money-only feature, and the game is enjoyable without paying) Cons: - 2D retro graphics (not everybody likes it) - lack of in-game help and documentation, and the UI needs improvements in general - not much configuration options on the settings pane To sum up, this game is for you if you like battles in turn-based strategy games, but you don't want things like city building, overcomplicated game rules or complex game world. This is something you can play for hours, but also when you have only 5 minutes for gaming.

Looked like a lot of potential... Loved the first few moves I made... Then loaded with Shop, buy this, buy that... Trying to find a way to grind, for some exp, or matts... Lv 3, then LV4 to beat... I'm LV 1... So I try Arena... 1K pages to run through... Looking for a Newb to fight... Maybe I'll gain some exp or something... Overwhelmed with questions, I go back to main map... Maybey I'll find reasources to lv one of my cards... Blocked all directions... Be it Mountains, A cave I can't get in, along with Creatures way... WAY higher LV then I could possible reach. So I decide to buy some Diamonds... It's then I realized... No, if I need to pay first 5 min, and not be hooked in first 10-20 minutes... I will look for somthing else to play and spend my money on. Honestly... What ever happen to easy, for a long time... Then once I get it, then the level of difficulty increases?

По сравнению с другими клонами 3х Героев эта еще ничего,правда от Героев тут только общие принципы остались. Юниты переделаны под карточки (карты прокачиваешь за ресы). 10$ за месяц премиума по нашему курсу крутовато для такой игры (да и без курса - многовато...) Премиум покупать не собираюсь,так вроде играть норм без доната,но подозреваю что на больших левелах в пвп решает донат.

Amazing game if you like it!
