HoMM 5: Reviews @ Fragland, Game Over

by Dhruin, 2006-06-21 00:13:00
Head to Fragland for the latest Heroes of Might & Magic <a href="http://www.fragland.net/reviews.php?id=793" target="_blank">review</a>, which carries a score of 90.8%:<blockquote><em>On the map the traditional strategy tasks are executed: maintaining your cities, recruting new troops collecting resources, improving your stats (moral, luck, etc.) and also gaining experience to increase the level of your hero. To do this you fight a group of creatures or another hero and his army. The game switches over to another screen for these fights. You're literally sucked into it, so no loading screens. In the heat of the battle the newly acquired spells and abilities can be tested out. Your creatures also have unique abilities, for instance ghosts aren't always hit because attacks can go right through them.</em></blockquote>...meanwhile <a href="http://www.game-over.net/reviews.php?id=1063" target="_blank">Game Over</a> went for a score of 80% in their critique:<blockquote><em>Now we have Heroes of Might and Magic V. New World Computing is no longer the developer. Instead we have Nival Interactive, probably best known for games like Silent Storm and Rage of Mages. Ia "!ve enjoyed the Nival Interactive games that Ia "!ve played in the past, and so I was optimistic when they took over. But unfortunately, the switch in developer is the only major change in the game.</em></blockquote>
