    The re-hash of its predecessor Warlords 3 Reign of Heroes. This is essentially the delux edition and some. New maps, better AI, new campaigns etc. Easily the best game in the series imao.

    The art style and music still hold up in 2021, although the game could do with some love in the networking department. More modern multiplayer ease-of-use would be amazing.

    In my opinion, this is the benchmark of turn-based strategy games. Great campaigns and scenarios to challenge you. A diverse range of heroes and armies to control. The random map generator is the highlight for me as it gives the game endless replayability. The game is 23 years old at the time of writing my review and I still find myself playing it!

    One of the oldest games I have that I still really enjoy playing 25 years later. It’s got just the right amount of complexity for me…games like Civilization are great, but for me are too much like having a job in real life. WL3 DLR just hits the spot perfectly.

    Only reason it’s not a 10 is because there are some very minor bugs (I can’t even remember them right now, but they don’t affect gameplay or enjoyment) that will never be fixed because the source code has apparently been lost for decades!    … Expand
