HoMM 5 - Tribes of the East Review @ Games Radar

by Magerette, 2007-11-04 16:17:42

GamesRadar has posted a review of Nival's stand alone expansion  to the fantasy TB  strategy title Heroes of Might and Magic 5, Tribes of the East, rating it 7/10:

 Other nifty new features include the alternative upgrade patch for units, the ability to retain your heroes, selling artifacts in the marketplace, collecting special artifact sets (hey didn’t Diablo do this a few years ago?) and sacrificing troops for experience. This last bit is nice if you’re trying to quickly race up the level tree, but most players will likely find that keeping peasants around as cannon fodder is more useful than a small experience boost.

Ultimately, Tribes of the East is a solid follow-up to an already engaging franchise. Players with a lot of time invested in Heroes of Might and Magic V are going to appreciate the engine tweaks and thoroughly enjoy giving it a go with the Orcs. Those new to the series however would probably be better served by looking for a copy of the original game and playing through that before moving on.
