What players say

Great game, though I would recommend "a new phase" modpack as there are some huge imbalances that absolutely drive you crazy on impossible difficulty if they aren't addressed

The combat gameplay being very similar to HOMM is strangely addictive. If you like HOMM combat and troop management you will love this.

Have you ever had the experience of being dragged to a pub you didn't particularly want to go to, only to stumble upon that one drink which completely set you off, and before you knew it, you'd spent the next six hours flailing around the dance floor like a madman, only to finally emerge from the trance to find yourself lying on your own couch with a splitting headache, unable to work out how or why any of that...
