Might & Magic: Heroes VII vs Shadow Kings: Dark Ages
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.
Shadow Kings: Dark Ages
Shadow Kings: Dark Ages allows you to enter a fantastical and beautiful 3D world where the forces of good and evil do battle! In this game, you’ll need to set up a strong economy as well as a strong army to carry out offensive excursions or even to defend your city from the frequent orc invasions. Build and upgrade your resource producing buildings and keep the productivity of your citizens high to ensure a stable flow of resources to fund your war efforts. Recruit and train a formidable army, consisting of units from all 3 major races in the game, namely the men, dwarves and elves, to defeat the shadow warriors once and for all and reclaim the land.Shadow Kings: Dark Ages is unfortunately no longer available, and we suppose this is probably why you're searching for a fun alternative game to play. Well, if that's the case, then you're in the right place!
