    I’ve been playing the VCMI version of HOMM3 (on my iPad out of all places) and it’s so much fun again. This one looks cool but the UI is a real turn off for me. Completely lacks the vibes of the previous games imo.

    I’m more excited for this than I have been for a game in years. It looks like HOMM3 with modernized QOL updates and graphics. That’s really all I need.

      I’m excited about it and have finally found that scratch for my itch with the Heroes of Science and Fiction which surprisingly was true to the old HOMM games.

      Overall this is a great direction because these games have been neglected and forgotten for what feels like decades, so it’s nice to be in a sort of golden era and hopefully these sales continue so it can go even further.

        The 6-8 trilogy is what introduced me to it, so it’s one of those, but it shifts every time I replay them. Probably 7, but I played them back to back a few months ago and 6 does have the more expansive maps to explore.

        4/5 are great too, for the classic grid style ones. I never touched 9, I heard it was pretty bad. I picked up 10 in a sale a while back, and it looks like a pretty good mix of the 4/5 and 6-8 styles (3d, but grid-based). I’ve been really preoccupied with some other long games since then though, so I haven’t tried that one too much.

    I’m prepared to be disappointed, but would like to be pleasantly surprised. HOMM3 with updated QoL sounds great.

    Headline is misleading. It’s not launching, they just doing early access.
