Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era – PC Preview

Thumb Culture's preview praises the campaign, skirmish and multiplayer modes for faithfully recreating the old-school turn-based hex formula, with city building and hero progression working well together once past a steep early learning curve. The review criticizes an unintuitive, dated interface with inconsistent left/right-click controls, and finds the strategic depth, diplomacy and combat customization thinner than genre peers like Age of Wonders 4 or Total War: Warhammer II. Overall verdict remains positive, calling the game enjoyable and recommendable despite some repetitiveness.
