The game which started one of my favorite series
User Rating: 8.2 | Heroes of Might and Magic PC
Heroes of Might and magic is a great series of games, where you have move around the map collecting resources and artifacts, and also fight your enemies and hordes of monsters. The gameplay of the first game is still good 12 years after, and it hasn't changed much over the years in the later parts. The gameplay is like combined turn-based strategy and roleplaying which was a very original idea in 1995. So gameplay is very simple, but still an excellent one. Graphics of the first one are very similar to Heroes II, and was great compared to the time when this game came to market. My opinion is that Heroes I has still very colorful graphics, which are very nice to look at. Sound of the game isn't so good anymore, but its not awful. Some of the musics are great and some are annoying in my opinion. The fighting screen heroes I is far worse than in Heroes II, III, or IV. The worse part is that, your units look so big, and it ruins some of the gameplay. In heroes II the fighting screen was made better, by making the units much more smaller. The story of Heroes of might and magic I is not well explained like in the later series, so some people may be annoyed by this, but the story is essential if you wan't to know what happened before II, III, IV and V. Heroes I is an great game, but there is one very big problem. The four factions are not equal. When castle is an awful faction that has bad and slow units, Warlock is superior to all factions with dragons, hydras etc. They made this mistake in heroes II too. That annoys me, because I don't want to play as warlock , but If I want surely win, then I have to take warlock.
Still Heroes I is a great game, which Started a great series of games which I have been playing all my life.
