Heroes of Might & Magic 2 vs Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Heroes of Might & Magic 2
Heroes of Might & Magic 2 returns you to Enroth, where Ironfist has claimed his kingdom and reigned with honor, but now he is passing and he leaves his 2 son’s Roland and Archibald. Of course there can be only 1 king so the drama begins and it is Archibald who becomes king, though in such a way that leaves the Hero of the story Roland a chance to return and claim the kingdom. Thus begins a stunning game full of action, adventure and all the gameplay you love from the first.There are now 6 factions for you to play, each with their own heroes and abilities. There are also new powers and abilities for your heroes to use, a revamped magic system and the more choice in how you play your game. You still have the hybrid gameplay mix you love as well. All in all an epic game and a great sequel and addition to the story.
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
