Heroes of Might & Magic 2 vs Might & Magic IX
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 IX
Might & Magic IX once more takes you on an intriguing adventure, set in a standalone part of the world of Ashan. Here you are a part of shipwrecked raiders and you are set upon a strange path. The Beldonian warlord Tamur Leng is attempting an invasion, and it falls to you to stop him and save this land from the evil intentions of the warlord. Thus begins an adventure that will take you to the very limit. Though in a break from tradition there are very few references or returning characters from the other games in the series.With a different set of options, this has a unique rules set too, once more making it much more standalone than you would think. You get to choose the strengths, races and classes of the characters and from there you can continue to improve them, with many of the tactical elements you know, but with a less polished finish this game, while fun is one of the weaker of the series.
