    Game cheats and the ai rolls too many fives and sixes while you roll ones and twos. It's not very tactical and kinda weird to play with all that hopping like a monopoly game. Just slide the fricking counters instead of all this hippity hop hop.

    Graphically I guess it's ok but it needs more levels of zoom as even zoomed in the closest I can hardly see the icons on the untis and it should
    Game cheats and the ai rolls too many fives and sixes while you roll ones and twos. It's not very tactical and kinda weird to play with all that hopping like a monopoly game. Just slide the fricking counters instead of all this hippity hop hop.

    Graphically I guess it's ok but it needs more levels of zoom as even zoomed in the closest I can hardly see the icons on the untis and it should have hover tooltips telling you what those icons on the unit do. Since there are so many it's hard to memorize all of them.

    I was disappointed it didn't have a random map generator and there's only so many combinations of units and leaders you can take on a mission. Plus, if you don't take a lot of leaders you'll get crushed by the side that has 4to5 orders per turn and you only have 2 or 3. Orders are important for doing things per turn. The more you have the better chance you have of winning. I don't like this feature either as it's too overpowering and pretty much forces everyone to go with units that give extra orders per turn and the planning card which gives an extra order as well. It promotes as usual powergaming not strategy or tactics.

    My recommendations is wait for something else,. You'll be able to get a lot of great games for christmas for $20 vs this one and only one.

    The game has great promise but very basic pallet of units available considering how long it has been released and many bugs persist tears my score down. Will update my review when the game starts to become as fun as the cardboard version.

    Single-player campaigns will probably entertain you with their strategic puzzles for 6-10 hours, but after that… You expect to see feature-rich multiplayer in a digital version of a board game, but, alas, it’s not the case here.

    Heroes of Normandie combines elements of turn-based strategy and board games very well. The element of luck plays too big a part on the strategic gameplay, which makes it rather frustrating.

    Heroes of Normandie makes a difficult transition from board game to video game, and because of this it looks and plays a lot like a board game.
