I own it, haven't played much but it seems there's no point when Genesis is cheaper, has more content, mods and can be played on a toaster.Very tempted by the $5. It really isn't playable?
I'm wondering the same thing as MicoSelva , are you using 1.4 pounder?
It's playable, and probably the most and best game you'll get at that price. I've completed the campaign twice.Very tempted by the $5. It really isn't playable?
Just started the game. Tutorial battle. One of the enemies gets bugged. 0 Health, doesn't die. He can't move, he can't attack and ending my turn just switches back to my next turn. Awesome game.
Avoid like the plague.
Also did mondblut work on this piece of shit or something? Why was he shilling this Russian abandonware so hard in the beginning of this thread?
Genesis is actually currently $1.49 (US) on Steam.It's playable, and probably the most and best game you'll get at that price. I've completed the campaign twice.Very tempted by the $5. It really isn't playable?
The game was released in a state comparable to a major Bethesda release, but the developer has patched the hell out of it ever since. Unfortunately the developer has also managed to introduce new bugs with just about every patch, and they've occasionally been fairly major.
I haven't played the game with the patch that just dropped, but considering Snowbird's track record and the fact that it is a pretty major content patch (16 new critters, I think, and other stuff), it seems likely it comes with a handful of new bugs, as well as fixes for old ones.
Basically: the game is buggy, but much less so than many games that virtually nobody complains about. And this isn't some mindless crap game, it's the best HoMM-like there ever was. It's the game that makes Heroes of Might & Magic 3 look like a pile of shit. If the genre is remotely appealing to you, you'd be a fucking idiot not to get it at $5.
You could get Genesis instead. Some claim it's less buggy, and while it has less content and won't get the expansion pack that MoTBW will be getting, it does have a supposedly massive and good overhaul'ish mod available. It also costs $5 though, so it's paying the same for less out of the box.
Looking back at our experience, it's quite risky to state that the game is completely bug free. But we hope that today's Eador can be considered beatable, playable and stable.
That's typical Russian work. And I actually don't know why they are so bad.It's patched this time, we swear!
Down with these clowns, this is a total embarrassment, some of the absolute worst QA I have ever seen.
Although to their credit they don't make people pay for the upgrades, unlike the Warlock "2" team.
Because 3d's not been ugly since 2004?Why would you play it in butt-ugly 3d over charming 2d sprites?
