So no one has mentioned this game. I have been waiting for a post but it seems to be getting missed. I never played the original but I have played some of Heroes of Might and Magic, and as popular as that is I thought some of you might jump at this $39.99 title.
This game is absolutely fantastic, if a bit old school. It uses high resolution graphics which are impeccable. The gameplay resembles Heroes of Might and Magic , espeacially 5. This is all about the gameplay.
The story is translated (from Russian or German) and it shows, but just a little. Much of the story is basic, fetch quests, save the princess stuff, but the game plays excellently. Character developement options abound. The combat gets increasingly complex as the game progresses and you gain abilities. You can choose your own path to a certain degree; not as linear as many modern games.
The fault most express over the game is that it uses text in place of speech and video to tell the story, which is why I call it a bit old school. It does not bother me so much but reviews I have read seem to suggest I'm the only one.
I just want any Heores of M&M fans, or similar should jump on this game really it should not be missed...
It is quite lengthy as well. Worth every penny.
