Might & Magic: Heroes VII vs Might & Magic Heroes Online
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.
Might & Magic Heroes Online
Might & Magic Heroes Online , published by Ubisoft, is an incredibly fun and unique MMORPG that features a turn-based strategy gameplay and an intriguing storyline based on the hugely popular, Might & Magic franchise. In this game, you'll need to help the dragon knights keep the peace among the factions despite increasing tensions between them and to discover the cause behind the growing demonic activity within the realm.Playing the game, and hence fighting for your faction, feels a whole lot different in this game mainly because you get the idea that you are actually making a difference despite knowing fully well that peace among factions will never be attained in spite of all your efforts. That said, there are plenty to do in Might & Magic Heroes Online aside from helping the world, including testing yout mettle in arena matches or managing your own city.
Might & Magic Heroes Online is no conventional browser MMORPG/strategy game mainly because it is steeped in the lore from Might & Magic, and partly because it has a turn-based gameplay that's rarely heard of in a web-based RPG. So, if you happen to love either (or both) of these reasons, then you already have all the reasons you need to check this game out. It'll be worth your time - that's for sure!
