    Don't let the match-3 appearance fool you. It's actually a unique and imaginative strategy/puzzle game, and it's executed very well. It might not have much to do with Heroes of Might and Magic, but it's worth a chance to appreciate it for what it is.

    This game has aged well and will keep you coming back for more. Resolution does not suffer on the 3DS. I cannot wait for the next installment. Awesome work, Ubisoft.

    One of the best games yet for the DS! Anyone who enjoyed Puzzle Quest will like this, because ultimately it's better. The campaign isn't quite as long, but it's less repetitive, and the battle mode provides worthy extra replayability. The graphics are full of oldschool charm, and the music is great. A few tiny glitches have no noticeable effect on gameplay. I hope to see at One of the best games yet for the DS! Anyone who enjoyed Puzzle Quest will like this, because ultimately it's better.

    One guy down there has claimed that you only have to play for 10 minutes to get hooked, but it took me a frustrating two hours. This is no diss on Ms. (or Mr?) "Hailey M," however I would like to stress that if you're not into these kinds of games you will be in for a long haul. Again, not a bad thing whatsoever. Just keep it in mind!

    One of the top 3 DS games I've played. Being a long time fan of the M&M series, this holds the name high. Much respect to Capy and PLEASE bring us a CoH2!!!

    This game blew me away. I got so into the game, it was all I was doing with my free time for the duration of the adventure. This is the best RPG game on the DS, and it may even be the best game of any kind on it. It

    I picked this up intended to have it for traveling this xmas, but it has become a guilty bedtime pleasure. This is such an ingenious combination of match-3 and SRPG that it has been a joy to play from the first tutorial. The high fantasy is well done and the game play is super tight and satisfying.

    Long time series fans rejoice! This is another very strong entry into what has traditionally been a very strong string of games. Making it specifically for the DS may have been a bold move, but it has been a successful one. The team behind this really seem to understand the core series staples and also understand development for the DS very well. The game itself is a prequel for Heroes V, Long time series fans rejoice!

    This game is attractive, addictive, simple to grasp, complex to master. PuzzleQuest meets Archon (C64) meets Magic: the Gathering. Not too many games have kept me playing for a 6 hour session (since I recovered from WoW). Definitely in my top 5 DS faves.

    This game is da BOMB! My brother told me that the Heroes games on PC are good. I got this for my DS and have been hooked for days. The army building and experience gaining are fun and the fighting is brutal. I want to go play my brothers other Heroes games now, I want more of this good stuff.

    Probably the best DS game along with Final Fantasy Tactics A2. This is turn-base Strategy at his finest, there is no other game like Clash of Heroes. After all these years I'm still hoping for a sequel.

    The clever puzzle battles and fast-moving story makes Clash of Heroes easy to pick up and tough to put down. [Nov 2009, p.90]

    Challenging, addictive and excellent. It's our new favourite puzzler/RPG. [Nov 2009, p.67]

    I came in expecting nothing, and ended up having a pretty good time exploring the battle system's many nuances. [Nov 2009, p.115]
