Whatever, let's just do the lazy thing where I list the good things and the bad things. It's not fundamentally flawed, but it is in execution. However, looking back, with the virtue of time and Ubisoft's Heroes V for comparison, I have to say the game is actually pretty good. My 10 year old self was mostly in the second camp. I wasn't really part of "The Internet" at that point, but as far as I understand there were two pretty distinct camps, those who liked the changes and those who didn't. But whereas M&M IX is universally considered to be a bad, unfinished game that is mediocre at best, Heroes IV was far more divisive. 3DO, the parent company of New World Computing is slowly sinking into the financial toilet (Oddly enough, Army Men games weren't doing so hot anymore) and in order to inject some revenue they have NWC release Heroes IV and Might and Magic IX early. It came out in 1999, sold very well, and other than an unfortunate incident involving the expansion (basically, the internet is full of idiots), is kind of amazing. Heroes III is generally considered the highlight of the series, and I wouldn't disagree. So anyways, perhaps some more context is in order. Bad PS2 game I bought because it had the name and not much else? You guessed it. Where is my icon of the skeleton dude from? Heroes. Why do I like Strategy games so much? Heroes. Which gave me the inspiration to blog about it, as well as the fact that it is now available for $10 from GOG.com For those who couldn't tell, Heroes of Might and Magic (hell, Might and Magic in general) is one of my favorite game franchises. Ma25 Comments Not so much ruining my childhood now as it ruined it then In one of the more random things for me to do since I stopped playing Dragon Age 2, I've been playing a surprising amount of this game. Don't have a GBC? Well, this is a perfect excuse to pick one up.Ruining my Childhood (Heroes of Might and Magic IV)
Dedicated fans of the series will definitely want to pick this one up as there is material that is exclusive to this GBC-only release. The object is to gather enough material to create an entire army, taking your force into battle against those of enemy warlords. In addition to the new hero types, there are an amazing 30 total character classes for monsters those you control and those you fight against. Choose from a selection of unique hero types (including eight new ones) to take through this epic quest, gathering resources, creatures, and additional party members along the way. Now you can take the power of the influential HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC series with you wherever you go, challenging yourself with the intense action of this awesome sequel.
If you love role-playing games, you're sure to be jazzed about the fact that they've started releasing more of them for the Game Boy Color.
