унылое дерьмо.очень легкая игра
Not only does it recapture the excitement of exploring and battle that I felt from the original game(s) but it also iterates on the gameplay that feels unique. I'm looking forward to seeing this game polished up to 1.0 and perhaps grow further still!
Это одна из лучших стратегий, что я пробовал в своей жизни. Чувство, которое ты испытываешь обыграв своего друга интеллектом - неописуемо. Десять бессонных ночей из десяти.
bardzo fajna
A great game, but came too late.
La jugabilidad es muy fiel a Homm3 combinado con Homm5, totalmente recomendado, tiene todas las mejoras de calidad de vida que tienen los mods, va en buena dirección. Los graficos son muy "cartoonish" pero te acostumbras, al principio parece dificil de leer el mapa, la ciudad y todo, pero cuando te acostumbras, ya lo entiendes, más o menos la misma dificultad de que HOMM3.
This is my personal choice for game of the year (with the caveat that I'm an rts gamer at heart and I'm not the target audience for things like GTA 6 etc.). I am recommending this game to people who enjoy a detailed and sharp tactical experience, rts and roguelike games, and this title won't appeal to everyone -- but if you like tournament-tight pvp turn-based strategy games then this is probably your new fix. As a long-time age of empires 2 player (on pvp ladder and campaigns), I've finally found digital crack called Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era (HOMM OE) and I've been obsessed. This game is criminally underrated and I hope it gains in popularity as it nears its launch window. PROs - A strategy game with enough depth that I can theory craft outside the established meta to some extent and still come away with a viable strategy. - 6 factions and ~100-120 commanders to pick from. - Hoplets (literal beer hops that became enchanted by raw nature magic and turned into fat pixies) - The most generous free demo I have ever seen. Some players have 200 hours of free gametime in the demo alone, which already feels like a near-full product. While the demo is slightly different from the actual game (and is an older build of the product iirc), I still put in about 20 hours over the course of two weeks and found that I enjoyed the demo enough to try the full thing and I am not disappointed. I really think this is a game you have to experience and sit at the controls with for a bit to 'get it.' CONs - If you're looking for a fleshed out pve experience it simply isn't where it needs to be yet. There's an act I of the campaign and it's pretty good. That said, most of the pve I do are custom games I set up either solo or with friends, usually to practice for the pvp side of the game. The devs roadmap is set to develop that side of the game before launch window, however. - The pvp balance is still a work in progress but this is a minor issue imo. Every faction is still viable and most commanders are viable too. There is currently too much power in RNG / item drops in the pvp side of things (but not to an extent that ruins the experience).
这才是续作嘛
This game is way too hard for casual players. It's not fun. I tried playing on easy and go into an "Easy" battle. Very hard to not lose units. Maybe easy difficulty shouldn't be that hard for bad players like me.
I lost countless hours, maybe days, to this game while in lower and middle school, exchanging seats with my best friend as we played at the same computer. It looks, feels, sounds, and hell probably smells, exactly like the original game and I'm just in love with it. It's perfect. Nostalgia aside, the campaign is great and as I wait for more of it, I'm having just as much fun playing the solo stories. Love it!
