It has been available for quite some time now, and you can already buy it in almost every major CD-DVD store. It was released under the name: Heroes of Malgrimia: "The Lost World of Magic".
I myself stumbled upon a licensed copy of the game in my city and decided not to miss this opportunity and acquire this creation by an old developer familiar to us from King's Bounty 2 on the Russian side of the planet.
The licensed version of the game includes 2 CDs with the images shown here on the box.
Brief preview on the disc box:
Malgrimia is a lost continent, preserving the knowledge of secret magical schools. Its ancient structures are imbued with magical powers. The forests are filled with spirits, and mythical creatures roam the steppes, striking fear into entire armies. According to legend, the Artifacts of Power created by the Lord of Worlds were hidden here. Perhaps it's just a myth? But the further you go, the less it seems like fiction.
"Heroes of Malgrimia" is a turn-based strategy in the best traditions of Heroes Of Might And Magic. However, the key difference between this domestic "Heroes" title lies in the depth of development and the level of detail in the gameplay. Multi-level city development, tactical combat involving several armies simultaneously, independent hero quests, and much more – this is not a series of sequential clicks, but an entire interesting science. It will take more than one day to grasp all the nuances of the game. A large-scale fantasy world can captivate fans of the genre for a long time.

The first few minutes of the game were memorable not so much for the uninspiring music, but for the interesting gameplay, the atmosphere of well-implemented innovations in the genre, and a slightly visible pixelation when zooming in, which is implemented very interestingly and impressively.
Later, I decided to write a more detailed review of Malgrimia, as I quite liked the game. I will finish it soon, so to be continued... and please wait;)
