Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition Review (_Orxnds_)
So This is going to be my 1st steam review but i really have to put my thoughts out here because this is getting ridiculous.
1) Original Owners of the Game HAVE to buy the game again to continue playing with all their progress reset
which makes no sence since the changes of the definitive edition could've just been added to a small dlc pack
2) While new portraits are nice and all there isn't an option to use the old ones from the settings menu.
3) Balance changes and QOL improvements are basically non-existent (except for the "Open hero Menu" before a battle which is pretty nice but thats pretty much it)
4) Exact Same Story , Dialog , Battles , everything , nothing new added in singleplayer which removes the freshness and originality (If it had any to begin with) of this re-release and makes it boring to replay the entire story so you can get items and characters for MP
5) Very short duration for each singleplayer faction (took about ~ 2.5 hours to complete sylvan faction and even less for fortress which is good for MP players since they will do it once and thats it but removes any replayability for the classic slow-paced players and the new players who enjoy SP more than MP)
6) No new singleplayer trinkets , units , bounties , map areas , more interesting fights (like the one in the tree in the sylvan story or the inn fight in the fortress one) or generally new content , its basically the exact same as the base game.
7) MP Changes include 1 new hero....and thats basically it.
So What are you paying for exactly? well , you are getting new portraits (that you are forced to use since there isnt a change portrait option so this might not even be a plus) , 1 new hero and the Villain DLC (both of these are MP only) , some promised QoL improvements that i havent found yet (except for the hero menu one) and some balance changes who are doing absolutely nothing and have zero impact on the game.
in my honest opinion they shouldve either made this a "new" game so people who had the original wouldnt be forced to buy the new one to keep playing or they shouldve just simply made it a dlc which is an optional thing that you dont have to get.
Edit : Forgot to Mention the Frame Rate problems , sound problems (including the fact that songs get cut randomly or sometimes have very bad transitions) and also the fact that you can only have up to 4 saves for the Singleplayer campaign which isn't enough to save the start of each faction since there are 5 factions in the game.
