"What a cool faction, it's my favorite Lovecraftian theme, cosmic horror, and a disgusting, tentacled abomination from beyond the limits of human reason. I need more of this stuff, give me two, no, three, no, make all the factions in the game like this," I would say if: 1. The Frozen Ones had hired a sighted person as a designer. 2. This was an original setting. We have three cool, colorful, and atmospheric factions – forest spirits, fire beetles, and ice Cthulhus. It sounds like an awesome cast for an awesome TBS in a unique and original setting, where everything can be made beautiful. What has improved by cramming this into the world of Heroes? It's inappropriate, inorganic, and completely out of sync with the series. You could have added one moderately unique faction, but here half of the cast are all these special little snowflakes and not-takusis. What do the Heroes have to do with it? Oh yes, of course. It's a marketing campaign. Look, we brought you your favorite game in your favorite setting, it's just changed a little over the summer, but that's just details, buy our toys. And even if it looked normal. It's a mobile grind in the worst possible way, all the units are equally tasteless and plastic. I'm tired of repeating this, and even if I repeat it a hundred times, they won't redraw anything, but give me back the fairy tale of the first and second games, the high fantasy of the third, the caricatures of the fifth, even in the fourth with its super crooked, lopsided, and hunchbacked models, it was much better, even super similar units and heroes were distinguishable at first glance. They took a little from all the parts, but the plot twist is that they only took the worst aspects =_=" I'm tired of ranting...

Oh yes, I remembered one fan-made town (unfortunately, it wasn't finished) that did something similar, but at least it's not worse and more in line with the franchise: click here.
At least they had designers who knew which end of the stylus to use on the tablet...

They definitely won't do that. Their visuals are immature and primitive, as has been repeatedly noted, and they are clearly aimed at very young children. There's no way they could create truly terrifying and repulsive monsters. They even ruined what was supposed to inspire that indescribable horror.

The horror is that they made another Ashan-themed core race again))).

It's quite hot in Europe right now, so we want to introduce you to a truly cool girl: Glacia. Rising from the depths of the Abyss, she brings a soothing presence to the forest. Let's learn more about her!
 
Glacia is an elemental, summoned from the depths of the Abyss. Unlike most, she is always slow and smooth, not prone to haste.
Her calm nature shapes her ice magic, filling it with a soothing chill. However, behind her calmness lies a quiet threat: those who provoke her are frozen in place, caught in her easy, indifferent control.
 
Specialization: Ice Arrow
Starts with the "Ice Arrow" spell at the Expert level. The initiative penalty for this version of the spell is twice as high. When using this spell, the effective spell power increases by 1 for every 3 levels of the hero.

A mobile game in its worst form; all units are equally tasteless and plastic.

They only took the worst aspects.

What kind of expressions are these? You're a girl. And why, being an educated person, did you suddenly start writing the prefix "super" separately from the rest of the words?

Since we're talking about nonsense here: I really hope they renamed the tentacled women from Concubus, because that word (a hermaphroditic version of an incubus/succubus) implies that they have a penis.

It would be better to replace one tentacle with a penis.

You're saying it like it's a bad thing. Olden Era is just one big penis laid on top of the fans.

Summer is in full bloom, offering some of the most delightful scents! And who knows more about this alluring aroma than the Shaar themselves? Let's find out who they are!
Shaar is a floral fairy, a sentient blossom without a distinct personality. Her name echoes the rustling of leaves and petals in the wind.
Exuding a captivating fragrance, Shaar lures those who inhale it, whispering promises of love, wealth, and power. Although she can take on a human form, her true purpose is to fulfill the will of the forest, instinctively spreading and expanding her influence.
 
Specialization: Charisma
Retains her army when fleeing from the battlefield with neutral units. +5% to persuasion skill when using diplomacy, plus 1% for every 4 levels of the hero.

I wonder if those who write this are aware that plants can have: 1) a defined gender; 2) the same will and thought processes as animals (there have been various studies on this topic), including consciously summoning wasp parasites that are compatible with the filth that is consuming the plant.

Even if you detach yourself from the lore, in Fentoze and Scaifa, the intelligent plants at least have some personality, but here they're just carrying some kind of ficus in a pot on a horse. Actually, I've noticed several times that the heroes in this game lack personality; they're just some kind of semi-abstract thing. Sometimes it's that swarm of worms with the Sylvan, sometimes it's ficuses. Why were even the elementals with Conflux in the third game full of personality, but here it's "Well, it's just a thing that does things, but it's not very intelligent and can't even talk." HOW DO YOU COMMAND AN ARMY IF YOU CAN'T TALK?

Saw a discussion about the system requirements (not sure when they were published). Let's post them here too, maybe someone will have some feedback.

Alright, let me be the first to say it. Seriously, the game has cheesy, outdated sound effects from the 80s and 90s, slow-motion (exaggerated smoothness) both on the map and in combat, and the most primitive visuals imaginable, yet it has incredibly high system requirements for a "Heroes" game. Truly, the apprentices have outdone themselves.
