This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I found a new strategy wargame "Pennon and Battle" on Steam. It's surprising to see that there are still teams willing to make games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can't help but remind me of the good old days when I used to play H3.

I do not remember purchasing "gems" with real currency in the "good old days"

It has so many micro transactions it's obvious the game's a cash grab on player's nostalgia. Oh, and you cannot play it offline even in single player.

My advice: avoid

They’re literally remaking HoMM 3 now.

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 11 points 6 months ago

Also the GoG version of classic HoMM3 is perfecty playable and has the complete edition with extensions.

Prefer this to the HD edition on Steam though, that one only contains base game and can't be modded.

Got a source for that? I'm not aware of anything like that

Not OP but you should check out VCMI project. It's finally got a 1.x release after some decade+ of work. Fixed castle limit issues of the originally to free up modding potential and they're making improvements to enemy AI.

Also works on Android.

a) That's not a remake, it's a separate game b) Please don't buy it, made by russian devs that have been funded by oligarchs with ties to the russian government
