Hero's Hour

This is basically Heroes of MM 2, but with more fun and chaotic combat

Same issues as already mentioned: the difficulty is completely random and the AI cheats. There's no handcrafted campaign and those auto-generated skirmishes are all over the place with your success depending mostly on your starting position and resources you'll have access to. Unlike in HoM&M series, you're often not given any time to compensate or conquer the land around, as within a week you can be ganked with multiple armies vastly exceeding any units you could gather even theoretically. That doesn't happen always, but you have no way of knowing if the game is going be fair each time. The battles are chaotic and hard to read with estimated difficulty score being vastly inacurate, but that might be just mine distain for micro management. I really wanted to like it, thinking it's somewhat of a Heroes clone, but it's not. I have no idea why does the experience differ so much for different players, but I'm disappointed.

Game is fundamentally broken. There is a 'building planner', and you can select the buildings in your main town screen to build them. Sometimes you can build a building in the planner, but not by selecting the building, and sometimes it's the other way around. I tried playing two games, one game the monsters and such were around a power I could fight, the second game everything was 'impossible', so I just couldn't actually fight anything or gather anything. Apparently they are working on Heros Hour 2... Considering they can't even get this one working, I highly doubt I will even look at that one.

AI cheats its own face off. Did multiple maps, team combos, even tried playing with modded factions. The AI cheats so friggin much that I played every single game I played the AI came to wipe me with armies that are double my level, and 3 times as large before week 1 is even over. Avoid buying this unless you like losing.

This game is very fun if youre interested in finding out how to break the game. Its engaging, challenging and every faction and hero type adds a unique playstyle. Like magic? find a way to cast spells that cause multiple echo casts and rain hell on the map for minutes on end with your massive mana pool. Want unstoppable troops? use consume to eat your units and gain huge permanent stat increases. My only recommendation: create story driven quest lines.

Cool concept but its just not fun. AI cheats and balance is bad.

It's no HoM&M
