The true successor to HoMM3. Have yet to find a better hex-based game.
It's a great combat and expansion-focused strategy.

Nailed it

Epic game about epic dragons

Incredible game. Has a huge amount of player engagement and strategic thinking that paradox games or total war could never even compete with. You're given unrestricted freedom in recruitment options and planning, limited only by available resources or capability. The turn based system rewards you for patient and careful actions, with an ironman-style save system punishing you for bad ones. The whole formula is done so well.

To top it all off, you're thrown into a delicious soup of mythology and history which can leave you mesmerised for hours; the sprites are beautifully designed, and the music is breathtaking.

why can't i stop playing this

Frustrating sometimes but you know, the battles are pretty epic m8 that's if you get chance to see anything before everyone's ran off

Spent tons of hours putting time and effort into getting to a point where you can finally go out and explore the world
Got disconnected at sea
Lost everything
Nice

Could have done better with the rocks.

Bad game

The game has a rich and unique setting that invites you to explore its world. However, you are held back from any enjoyment by the irritating gameplay: battles consist of praying to the RNG Gods, and having the choice of what skills to take are essentially pointless since there are only very few ways to progress. It's so inconsistent that the game doesn't even know what it's trying to be. A true shame.
