Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition Review (Crazy-AK47)
This game recives negative for removing original from sale, this is just an overpriced "patch"
I've spend 88 hours in original and I'm dissapointed in this "definitive edition"
Game is less optimized than original. 6GB RAM in reccomended is a joke for a game that originally could run on a toaster. It was a game for DS with just 2D sprites. How it is possible? It contanly stutters on full HD resolution when original would run smoothly. OK I had to add game in NVidia panel and game stared working smothly but still I don't get that 6GB RAM requirment
Also sound transition compared to original is broken, there's no smooth transition between tracks they just cut immidiatelly. It feels bad compared to original.
From new thing that were added: New Hero Euny and that's it. UI got an iprovement, like dedicated skip button or "back" option in skirmish menu (in OG you had to use ESC). Those are small changes that could be simply added to original game.
New artwork - it's a mixed bag. I like new artworks of Lasir or Edric and NPC characters, but artowrk of Heroes are just bad like Azexes, or whatever happened to Aidan. I like new Fiona. Anwen is obviously censored compared to original artwork. There should be an option to switch between new and old artworks, it's just upon you if you preffer older or newer artworks.
Game receved more localisations but It doesn't affects me but it's worth mentioning.
There are some balance changes but I would had to play the game again -it also affect multiplayer but I've never played this game on multi, so to me changed nothing - Are there still any online players?
Is the game good? Yes but it's just an overpriced patch. If you have original don't bother (unless you really want to play as Euny). Tbf people who have the original will receive (timed) -55% dicount but temoving original games for the sake of "defective" editions should be forbidden. It's just an ass move. There's nothing that would justify this "definive" edition. They even kept original cutscenes...
1 New Hero, some new artworks, few UI changes, some balance changes and new localisations - just an overpriced patch, that's it
