It's quite possible that they won't be included at all. I haven't even seen regular elves yet, and the game's events will apparently take place before the Day of Fire Tears.


Well, it's turn-based, that's obvious. As for the visual style, I'm not sure. HoMM is valued for its interesting world, and the elements of that world should match the overall quality.

Realism doesn't limit the concept artist's freedom; it just gives them a sense of reason. If a warrior is covered in more armor than they weigh, or if their weapon makes their center of gravity incompatible with maintaining balance, then that's a failure.

I can easily accept the stylish look of the Seraphim because it reminds me of advanced magical technology. There's a logical explanation for that. But how do spikes on their back allow the Tormentor to torture its victims?

I would say that's an unprofessional approach. I would expect such a design from browser games, but not from a mainstream title of one of the most famous brands in the world.
The model of any creature in the game is just an approximate model; you can compare, for example, how the archdevil looks as a game creature in the fifth installment and how he looks in the introductory video – much more realistic and brutal. And if he existed in reality, it would be even cooler. The spikes covering the Tormentors are supposed to work on the principle of a porcupine's quills; we don't know and can't know how the Tormentor looks "in reality," just as we don't know how a knight looks. The model may be one thing, but something else may be implied. And in general, in a fantasy world, everything is based on assumptions, and all discrepancies with the logic of the real world are interpreted as something commonplace.

Sounds like comforting a Dungeon fan.
No, it's just logic, and the developers hinted at it in some interview.
