MM Clash of Heroes - Better than Puzzle Quest, FF Tactics A2, and all DS SRPGs!

I'm spreading the word!

Special games like this don't come around to often and sadly, nobody cares for it and it doesn't sell like it deserves!

How come nobody talks about this game? I really don't want to see this title only selling 5,000 copies. There was a lot of hype for Scribblenauts with tons of threads and it sold real well. I just wish Might and Magic Clash of Heroes would get that much attention as well.

If anyone overlooks this game, they're missing out!

Just check out some of these scores:

Games Master UK - 9.1

Challenging, addictive and excellent. It's our new favourite puzzler/RPG.

Edge Magazine - 9

Even if the DNA of its forebears is barely apparent, such a bold, brilliant transformation certainly involves something a little like magic.

NGamer UK - 9

A life-consuming wonder-gem.

IGN - 8.9

Clash of Heroes is an all-new experience built exclusively for the DS, and it's hands-down one of the deepest and most rewarding games on the system.

Nintendo Power - 8.5

The clever puzzle battles and fast-moving story makes Clash of Heroes easy to pick up and tough to put down.

Metacritic Average scores:

Might & Magic Clash of Heroes - 8.6

Scribblenauts - 8.0

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 - 8.0

Knights in the Nightmare - 7.6

Luminous Arc 2 - 7.3

Puzzle Quest - 8.2

It's the BEST DS strategy/RPG on the system. It's also, IMO, the best and most addictive puzzle game on the DS as well. I highly recommend this game! It's fantastic and brilliantly made!

Here are some screens:

Some important info:

• One of the most innovative and addictive titles on the DS!
• The quest is 30+ hours. IGN clocked in at 45+ hours and still hasn't unlocked everything.
• Single player spans over five different races: Haven (human), Inferno (demon), Sylvan (elf), Academy (mage), and Necropolis (undead)
• It has multiplayer and the gameplay is amazingly balanced.
• The customization is deep and the different character cl@sses give it great variety.
• The puzzle mechanics are absolutely brilliant and genius! It's amazing how the developers came up with this and made it all work so well!
• Sadly there is no online, but IGN claims that it's still a blast to play with others.
• IGN: "This is a massive game!"

Well done, the game is officially on my radar.

Edit: this game is not that much like Dragon Force. But it does look like a great direction for puzzle strategy games.

For everything Ubisoft does, it makes sense that there's still gold glimmering from their mountain.

just throwing this here... does anyone else think the art (HUD, enemies, characters, sprites in general) look sorta like something from the mana series?BrunoBRS

yeah thought so too, but hmm i didnt find this game too appealing but now i feel like i should try it out, there've been lots of games that i didn't think were good but they were real good :)

Thank you for telling me.:) I'll get it in spring after I'm done with buying Wii games.

I purchased this game last wednesday and I'm hooked! You must try it if you like puzzle/strategy games. This game will last me a long time.

I almost hate to bring this up, but this game will be on sale at Best Buy starting tomorrow for $20.

If you're on the edge, this will likely push you over. First Week buyers can also use it to get $10 from most reputable dealers.

It's great to hear everyone is loving this game! I would've loved to pick this game up for $20. That would've been a steal because even at full price, it's worth every single penny! That's how good this game is!ASK_Story

Color me interested but how exactly does the gameplay work in this game?

KiTN might be deep, but it is also brutal. A game to obsess over for sure.

As far as how this game handles, look here. There is an over world and you walk to confront your enemies. Then in battle you are given a random order of allies to control. At that point, you play a few turns of Puzzle League (Or Puyo Puyo) to combine similar allies to power them up. Only twist is that you can only move units to the end of the line or take units away to become your backup. Combining three or so gives you an extra move and moves all three to the front, where they will then charge the enemy after a few turns.

The hard part is getting past the opponent's allies and hitting him directly. Which is how you take their life bar down. There are spells that help too, rewarding a good strategy with a good hit on your opponent.

thank you and the other two responses. I guess I'll just have to take the plunge. The 20 dollar deal does makes it hard not to anyways.

Looks like a good game.

I picked it up the day before it went on sale :(

That said, at least it's an awesome game and worth the $30.00 I paid for it.

I will say it's one of the better DS games out there.

My interest has been piqued.
