Yes. Mine as well and then heroes 3-4. I do no have bad opinion on the series overall there was better or worse additions but each was unique in some way. This one looks like a modernized heroes 3.
"mobile game look" is my exact same, sad thought. The graphics are a mess. Hopefully the unrevealed faction is tower, need me some more shirtless Solmyr :)
Is anyone else underwhelmed by this art direction though? The details of the models are lost due to how small they are, and they’re profiles aren’t strong enough to define them.
Why why mobile graphics!??!? We been waiting for years! It looks like it was meant to be on mobile and the developers were lazy to change it... Plz Plz make it at least HOMM5
It does look better than 6 & 7 but they still somehow cannot grasp that atmosphere that made HOMM 3 the best. IDK what is it, but maybe if they made the design less cartoony, and made the effects more subtle?
Something about the city graphics, which should be the main focus, reminds me more of a mobile game. I'm willing to give it a try though being a lifelong fan of the series since the very beginning. Hopefully it has a demo, or I'll have to try other means to test it.
Dude, how are people missing the fact that they have studio Unfrozen helping with this? They're the ones that made the super underappreciated reverse darkest dungeon game Iratus:Lord of The Dead...definitely pumped to see how this turns out

"And then The Sword of Frost and Armageddon's Blade clashed! A blinding flash! Another turn of the page. The destruction brings earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and deaths uncounted. And acts of bravery too. Just when it seems we are doomed, we flip the page once more, and countless fortunate refugees flee through portals into another world. Is this the end of our tale? No. We are the pawns of fate. There are still many pages to turn. And to all things comes a beginning."
Finally a modern heroes of might and magic where you can actually see objects of interest on the world map. That cartoony artstyle with black outline really helps. And no unnecessary detail to obscure items either. Very nice!
The only thing I‘m sad about in regards to leaving Ashan is that we will loose sanctuary. They were my favorite faction in 6 and I was very sad when they didn‘t return for 7.
