Well, yes, the reviews here are mixed, and there are even some positive ones, much to my surprise... Never mind, sarcasm isn't really appropriate here. After all, I'm the same sicko who considers the fourth installment the best part of the Heroes series and only loves the third one for its graphics. But what's really interesting is the user himself. He registered and immediately started singing praises to Olden Era, offering ridiculous arguments and clearly suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Not suspicious at all.

I tried it.
For about an hour.
It felt like a "mediocre" attempt to get into the game, but it's not for me.
It didn't grab my attention.
Maybe we've just gotten older.

What kind of issues need to arise for them to start inserting almost the entire creature into the portraits, instead of just one head (or several, in the case of a hydra)? The portraits are just a mess. Don't they see it themselves?

Mo_n_T mentioned on the stream that they have already fixed/will fix this in the version under development.
And in the column of heroes on the left, it would be better to only display close-up portraits. They reduced the size of the detailed image in Demo and put it in circles: everything blends together, and you can't see anything.

Something like this, but arranged in hexagons.

But they did it like in the early games, following the fans' requests and preserving traditions. In the third game, the portraits often showed the creatures from the waist up! Only there, the pixel art was beautiful, with expressive, bright colors, and a cool, stylish design, not this gray mess on a gray background, but that's just a detail. Be grateful; they could have made them full-body, like in the first two parts. Even when reduced to a size of 2x3 pixels, all the units remained recognizable. Lost technologies of an ancient, highly developed civilization.

I like the classes in the fourth game.
I never managed to reach them, by the way. The system is complex, although there are noticeable bonuses, like 10k per day.

Yeah. What's with you and "unfrozen," who parasitized their one and only game, "Erectus," with "Darkest Dungeon"?
For them, this is a unique and essentially the only chance to earn international recognition in partnership with such a publishing giant as Ubisoft, and they will go to great lengths not to miss it. ))

Judging by all accounts, their CEO and their team genuinely love this franchise. And, plus, as far as I've read, they have been actively collaborating with fan development groups for Heroes 3.5 and other similar projects.

Well, yes, the reviews here are mixed, and there are even some positive ones, to my greatest surprise... Okay, sarcasm isn't very appropriate here, after all, I'm the same sick bastard who considers the fourth part of the Heroes series to be the best, and only loves the third one for its graphics. But the user himself seems... interesting. He registered and on the same day started singing praises to "Olden Ere," giving funny arguments and clearly suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Not suspicious at all.

No, you're not the sickest one; the sickest one is me, a fan of the 7th installment.

I used to hang out on the Heroes forums of AG (I was even a moderator for the 7th installment). If you remember, there were very respected forums, in my opinion, the best collection of information on all Heroes games of all time. It's a pity that they are no longer around.

Now, this is the only forum that is still somewhat alive, so I came here.

But honestly, I'm surprised that expressing a positive opinion about "Olden Ere" immediately leads to an attack on the author's personality.

A clear example of excessive detail, as I mentioned. For icons, a separate art style is needed, specifically for icons, if you want portraits that show the creature from the waist up, and to avoid it looking like a scribble. What is that in the lower left corner? A jellyfish?

People have been on the internet for 20 years, it's paranoia.

Okay, I believe you. Sorry, I was being unreasonable. But you have to admit, it was pretty suspicious, registering and then immediately posting to praise Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. No one criticized Artz for saying he liked it, but he's been here for ages, and it's clear he has his own opinion. But this is a brand new account.

But I didn’t say I liked it. Rather, the core gameplay appealed to me, which is hard to mess up, but the visuals and some other details weren’t particularly impressive. However, the core gameplay was good in almost all installments, at least for their time (I’m not taking the opinions of die-hard fans into account). Although the older parts are outdated in this regard, in my opinion. But visually, they are better than everything that came after.

You've written a lot about the advantages, but I'm just sitting here and complaining about the cosmetics 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, the mechanics in the older parts are really outdated. In such cases, I sadly remember the first Heroes games, which are very beautiful, stylish, with cool unit designs, but due to the lack of many familiar mechanics, they are completely unplayable for someone who knows how it could be. But I can still play and enjoy the second game.

Okay, I believe you. But admit it, it was super suspicious to register and immediately start praising Olden Era in your first post. No one criticized Arza for liking it, but he's been here for ages, and it's clear he has his own opinion. But here, it's a brand new account.
A person with a humanities education, and they write "super suspicious" as one word! And in general, why so much obscene language? Have you forgotten how to speak normally? P. S. I can't say anything good about those who write negative reviews about the game. I can only repeat what I said before – you haven't played the game enough. I didn't like the game very much when I finished the first map. I even put it down for a couple of days. But then I decided to try playing it again, and after that, having figured out the game, I realized that it would be the best in the series! And none of your negative comments will affect that. They don't like the interface, they don't like the bugs... Of course, they don't! And who would actually like that? But keep in mind that you haven't even played the early access version! Keep that in mind and evaluate only the "mechanics" of the game. And they are amazing! Have you seen what "5," "3," and "4" looked like at this stage of development? No. And I haven't either. But I'm almost certain that it wasn't better than the game we're discussing. P. P. S. I also liked "7" more than "5" and "3," but unfortunately, it crashed when playing on the largest maps. But "Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era" will surpass "7."

Dude, sit down, this might be a shock for you... But I have a technical education, not a humanities one 🤣🤣🤣

Hey, take a seat, this might be a bit of a shock for you... But I have a technical education, not a humanities one.
I remember from a long time ago that you mentioned having a humanities background. Regardless, you always seemed like someone who wouldn't write the prefix "super" separately from the rest of the word.
