I still spend inordinate amounts of time playing Heroes 3. It’s been a strong procrastination feeder over the decades, but it also gave me a lot of fun!
I mostly play HotA in HD Mod these days, but I had used VCMI on Android (with SoD). It’s been a bit rough – the client-server thing that it does would have connection issues, the mechanics differed in subtle ways, etc. But I’m also super grateful that it exists.
- SantiagoElf 3y agoSame here. Heroes 3 with HD Mod, but without HotA addiotions. Tons of fun - usually I start a XXL map with 5 computers, I play Kyrre from Rampart and rush to find first the Dragon Utopia get Town Portal/Dimension door and hunt them down the map.
- bombcar 3y agoThe campaigns are fun, some of the custom maps are absolutely amazing, but there's nothing quite like a classic old compstomp.
- stavros 3y agoTry Songs of Conquest. It captures the original feel 100% for me, and is a game I really enjoy.
- IG_Semmelweiss 3y agois this a mod over HD ?
- bombcar 3y agoIt's an early access HOMM-like game: https://www.songsofconquest.com/faq#faq-overview https://www.songsofconquest.com/faq#faq-overview
- chrysoprace 3y agoIt's got some real potential, here's hoping they actually finish it as I've been burnt on Early Access before.
- stavros 3y agoIsn't it already extremely playable? I've been playing it on and off, though I don't know if half the campaign is missing.
- jakderrida 3y ago> It’s been a strong procrastination feeder over the decades, but it also gave me a lot of fun! I remember buying some random Sega Genesis game that had the same effect on everyone I loaned it to, even a couple years after Playstation came out. Nobody was immune and, even after I showed them the tricks to winning, it only got worse. Then I saw my baby brother playing the Heroes Playstation 2 port and I realized it's the exact same game, but was called King's Bounty on Genesis.
- hydrok9 3y agoKing's Bounty was its own game which preceeded Heroes 1
- idrios 3y agoBtw there's a King's Bounty 2 out now that was released in 2021. My dad picked it up recently, he enjoyed it a lot. Combat is the same party-building/grid-based tactics, but rest of the game is much more of a linear/semi-open world RPG compared to Heroes
