    Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition is a belter of a puzzle game, with a lengthy campaign full of clever ideas.

    Sometimes games hold up, and this is one of them. Though I absolutely loved the original, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition brings a classic game to exhilarating modern life. Not only does it feature complex and nuanced strategic gameplay, but has an engaging story and tons of replay value. My only small complaint is I wanted to spend even more time in this world, and would have loved some sort of endless rogue mode. But that said, even if you never heard of the original, all strategy fans still owe it to themselves to check out this amazing adventure.

    If you enjoy a bit of RPG and strategy in a game and enjoy yourself a match-three game, you will be well-served by Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. I can’t tell you how well it stacks up compared to the DS version, maybe, but now it’s available on more modern devices and it’s still fun. What more could you ask for?

    Clash of Heroes' optics and audio are rather sobering, but its narrative and its extremely refined gameplay still make for a unique turn-based tactics game.

    Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition is still a good game. The Definitive Edition lacks some quality of life improvements that would have been appreciated after 15 years.

    There is a lot I enjoyed with Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. When I’m winning, I like the gameplay loop. The art is fantastic, and looks great when I play in hand held mode. Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes starts out as a welcoming game. After a few battles, I begin to see the cracks. Enemy heroes I play against are two, sometimes three, levels ahead of me, something that is not easy to overcome. The random drops of units on my side don’t feel equal to the ones my AI enemy gets. I feel like I’m always on the defensive during the campaign. But the multiplier is excellent, pass-and-play is exactly what I want in a game like this.

    When it’s at its best, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition delivers an enjoyable fantasy tale that is accompanied by a unique gameplay system. However, overly random elements mar the player’s sense of agency within these battles, greatly diminishing the thrill of victory and leaving them wondering if each defeat was truly deserved.

    Might & Magic - Clash of Heroes DE is a fun 3 match strategic game. The story seems interesting. The 2d art is well done. The interface worksMight & Magic - Clash of Heroes DE is a fun 3 match strategic game. The story seems interesting. The 2d art is well done. The interface works well. Everything is fine until you get to the third world, the Necromancer area. This is where the combat has no balance at all. The game become difficult because the area is empty of any occasion of progression apart one random enemy at one specific place that you have to grind. Boring and repetitive. The Ai (if any really exist) has large advantage at this point. The music is not very varied, that gets old quick. I give it 55%. I would have give it better if the dev didn't get lazy after two area.

    Update: the problem of balance repeat itself into the last two worlds. You can eventually get over it. But the way of doing so, feels like it was done to prolong the game. The last boss is at level 15, and all your characters are max at level 10. Absolutely unfair, since you are stuck at that point.
