Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

Хотел бы написать хороший отзыв, но нет. В игре очень много проблем. Самое плохое, что разработчики, скорее всего, не осознают этого. Возможно, следует ещё подождать... И так: - Репетативный геймплей. Генератор карт не интересный. Всё одинаково от матча к матчу. Нет того, что сможет повернуть ход игры или, хоть как-то, определить глобалюную стратегию. - Отсутствие отыгрыша. Эти герои исключительно пошаговая стратегия с закосом на киберспорт. Писать истории не получается, как это было в Героях III. Если вы тут за отмосферой "старых добрых..." - вам не сюда. - Паршивый баланс фракций. Например, 300 фавнов убивают всю армию некроманта с 500+ стеками, просто с одного тыка! Для несведущих, фавны - юниты первого уровня. - ИИ Сумашедший. Он не даст вам шанса. Не потому, что он умный, а потому, что у него будут бонусы, которые вам никак не преодалеть честной игрой. Он может пробить охрану и забрать ваш город за 2-3 дня первой недели. Разумеется, придёт он с 150+. Это не матчи с ИИ, а симуляторы рестартов. ...и да, если ты "некромант", то в этой игре они самые отстойные. Удачи, о великий Лич!

First of all I am happy that HOMM is a finally thing again and for that I am thankful because I feel that this game started the resurrection of the franchise. You can feel that the creators of this game were truly trying to create a worthy successor of the original series. They took the core elements of HOMM3 and 5 and kept everything what made them great. It is obvious the people who created Olden Era love and value the original games.It is also remarkable how the developers were listening to the feedbacks and are making constant improvements based on it. I would give a mixed review if that was possible but because it is not unfortunately I can't recommend this game at this state. -Graphics:For me visually the game is not desirable to say the least. I've never really cared about graphics but I just cannot take a game seriously which looks this cartoony, it ruins the immersion for me. It reminds me more of a MOBA or WoW than a HOMM game. The charm of HOMM was the sometimes dark/gritty realism. The UI is just terrible, outdated and impractical. Meanwhile the advanture map is a chaotic mess. -Innovation: I feel that the studio wanted to please the fanbase so badly that they were not willing to take any risks. Maybe for this reason the game lacks any meaningful innovation, they played safe. Mostly same game mechanics, same everything but still executed poorly. They were focusing solely on the nostalgy factor and for this reason this game won't be really able to attract new players, now there is a competation in this genre. Ofc there are new factions, new spells, new features etc. but these are just not enough to feel that it is truly something new. As I heard there will be a HOMM 3 remake so this was a good opportunity to create a HOMM game which could have stood out. -Story: The dialogues and story feels like it was written by a 10 year old. I know people usually don't play such game for the story but that (and the music) was my favorite part in HOMM 4. In my opinion it really gives incentive, reward and meaning to move forward in the game. - AI: The AI is just terrible, on easeir difficulties AI bascially does nothing and let's you win on harder difficulties AI spawns at your town after 2 weeks with a full army and destroys you. The AI is simply unable to make logical and strategic decisions, the difficulty is artificial and achived through "cheating". I feel it is a consequence of focusing too much on PvP and neglecting PvE. Overall I am sad because this game had so much potential but it just not there. The world of Olden Era is simply soulless and doesn't have the charm of the original predecessors.

The more time progresses, and the more I read about the vision for this game from the developers, the more sceptic I become.

I'd say right now 6/10 with very much potential but give it a year of features, not polishing but features. Does anyone play this game for the PvP? - Game does not have a fulfilling PvE (AI is dumb as a bag of rocks that cheats (no way they got that army form the cities I just claimed from them)) - Co-Op don't exist, playing with a friend in PvP is all fun and games until you step on their territory and it becomes very turn-based and you know what? unplayable for friends just having fun. - Being on the same team with your friend (nop, don't exist) - Completing a game gives nothing more than a button to main menu, no stats no nothing (not even a one more turn please to just have a little post-game fun) - Also no explanation on anything, hover on creature to check name? nop, what does a stat do I guess il hover over it and get nothing

Игра интересная , но в режиме одного героя не возможно зайти поиграть с кайфом, огромное количество шаблонов в которые ты не хочешь играть . Почему нельзя сделать поиск по определённым шаблоном ? сидишь ливаешь, чтоб поиграть в то что хочешь.... На мой взгляд ужасное решение разработчиков -10

I hadn't played HOMM3 since it was still relevant, and I felt nostalgic and went for it; at the start it was decent, decided to start the campaign only to find out the dialogue, writing and voice acting is so horrendously bad that it put me off from playing the game again. My biggest regret is that it took me 2 hours of gameplay to get to that point.

PVE.PVP数据分开很难吗。PVP平衡很必要，但是别来单位PVE。

Never buy this game! Why? : 1. One Chapter - you can play in one day. 2. Single maps are boring. Last one was good but bugged. 3 PvsP. This where I quit the game. Please do not play ARENA or any other like Single hero or Classic. The Leaderbords are fake. Sometime apears "priviliged" players or bots, I can't say, with army and artifacts you cannot obtain anyway! I have played 320 hours. I am done. Have fun and stay frosty my friends.

制作组既然不把PVE玩家当人，那你们等PVP玩家给你们好评吧，这个差评我先打了
