Heroes of Might & Magic 4 vs Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Heroes of Might & Magic 4
Heroes of Might & Magic 4 takes the game you love, and destroys the world you play it in. A prophecy fulfilled sees a devastating explosion that smashes the world, and yet portals appear to transport some of the people to safety, and here you get a blend of new and old heroes, with their own agendas and politics forging new civilizations and cities in a different and strange new place. And so, as the Reckoning has destroyed the world of Enroth you are set to discover Axeoth for yourself in one of 6 individual campaigns.There have also been serious overhauls to the game systems as well. The hex map is replaced with a much better defined and detailed square map. The skills system is better defined and now you can place your heroes in one of 40 different classes and subclasses. Best of all you can now play your heroes in the battlefield, and use more than one. These dramatic changes have made for an amazing new experience, and one that really adds something amazing to the series.
Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 saw a new developer take over, and as such a world reset. Here you have the gameplay you love, with the tactics and development you want with a host of new characters, stories and the world of Ashan. There are 6 campaigns for you to play each with their own special characters and story that introduces them and are a lot of fun to play. Discover the darkness of Inferno, the Elves of Sylvan and the sheer power of the Academy.This fully 3D game brings a host of the classic gameplay among new features and controls that both simplify the game and make it much more streamlined. Though you still have the map hunting, town burning grid based gameplay you love. Altogether a fun game, despite the new setting and a lot of the old traditions came through in a really great way.
