Releases into e*rly accessnext thursday. Will it revive the franchise, or will it flop? 1.5 million people have it wishlisted, but how much of that will translate into sales?
Russians play 3 on old shitty PCs that can't run this game and the ones that can afford it are probably just gonna pirate the hell out of it.The specs are actually ridiculous for this game, if it doesn't run on a Steam deck it's not gonna do well.

>>737629335>>737632754sage this gooning thread...fucking degenerates
>>737629335>locking almost every single active ability behind the focus point system is cringe af>don't like the smaller battlefield compared to 3 and the slower unit speeds for higher tier units>the cartoony blizzshit inspired graphics are overall badaside from that, i'm hopeful.
>>737629335This game is unironically too difficult for HoMM3 fags.
>>737633090>cool af looking bird going literally fire supernova versus gay purple blue chicken with weird fucking gems on it
>>737629335Russian developer. It needs and deserves to flop. Don't support those subhumans.
>>737632754A literal example of average player for this game.
>>737629335Looks interesting and like it has a good bit of depth.I'll probably pick it up to see what it's like. As long as it's not $60+
>>737633090They increased the battlefield size from the demo
>>737632806/olden/i;stub:no;boards:v;op:onlyjust trash it
>>737633280>>737633090It's also really fat with tiny wings. You should give them feedback on it. They've already changed several units because people didn't like how they looked. The most significant being the dread knights getting horses instead of some goofy lizards.
What's the appeal?What's the replayability?Why is the game so popular after all this time?
>>737633576thanks anon, i'm too stupid and lazy to do it myself. fuck russian ziggers
>>737629335>Early Access>No controller supportIt's pure shite innit?
>>737633883What kind of sicko wants to play HoMM on a controller?
>>737633883controller fags are like linuxfags of input methods lul
>>737633883>HOMM>controllernigga wut
there is a remote bank summon spell, cool
What faction will you play, /v/?>Temple (basically Castle, but sun-based)>Necropolis (same old, but vampire-themed)>Schism (ice elves Cthulhu faction)>Dungeon (practically 1:1 from the previous games)>Grove (mixture between Rampart and Conflux)>Hive (Inferno reflavored as the Zerg)
>>737629335No reason to not auto-battle everything, so the game is boring and samey
>>737636282I'm a bit worried about all the neutral magic making map traversal trivial, but on the other hand, troop transfer chains are one of the most annoying and time consuming things to do.
>>737636404I liked Dungeon and Schism in the demo. I'll also be giving Hive a shot, because playing a pure melee faction sounds like an interesting novelty.
>>737629335>1.5 million people have it wishlistedhttps://impress.games/steam-wishlists-sales-calculatorspit balling
>>737636494I can see auto battle becoming a major noob trap with the way it is currently implemented. A skilled player can easily outperform it, but new players will see no reason to fight manually as they will perform worse than the autobattle, and never actually learn how to fight properly.
>>737636648It'll probably be lower for being early access.
>>737636404Schism seem like cool guys
>>737636404I'm going with Dungeon and Schism too. First has the best presentation overall and amazing units and second one is fun to play. Communion mechanic for them is great. Jellyfish and Fat Bastard a cute
>>737633536should make it even bigger desu. like 11x15 and increase unit speeds for the faster units to compensate. i still remember creeping massive walker armies with the hit and run dungeon chicks in 5. it was kinda stupid but really fun too. also need to rerelease the demo instead of pushing this stupid pre early early access shit for streamer fags.
>>737632754She looks like she pozzes human boys
Thoughts on the Angels design?Feels a bit generic compared to 5th's anime boys and 3rd's bulky old men with wiggly swords but it couldve been much worse. They could've been 6th game's angels
>>737638629Sentinels of glory are the actual angels. The Temple angels are living armors they use to cope with the fact that real angels dumped them.
>>737636404i gave up homam after the debacle that was homam4
>best game in the franchise is a spin-off puzzle gameI'm mostly joking but this little thing had no right to be this good.
does this game have actually good battles, or is it mostly just get the bigger army than the enemy and autoresolve every fight?
>>737638945In classic style gameplay, against AI especially, you can still lame it out and snowball for sure. There a lot of unit abilities and synergies, it's more efficient to do a strat, than just pure biggest number every time.You are also limited in upgrading every unit in the army easily, due to Alchemical Dust resource being scarce.There are a bunch of game modes with victory conditions or limits to combat passive play.
>>737639625Alchemical Dust and Policies were great additions IMO. The combo skills less so but I enjoy them anyway, picking good skills is probably still better but I like the exodia style setup being an option.
very cute that you can get to dragon utopia in the tutorial
>>737638881I'm happy that somebody else recognizes this masterpiece.
