“The worst part of a binary system is, whether or not you should play this game depends on you. If (a) you played Heroes of Might and Magic and you got *really* into the pvp and wish the game was finer tuned for balance;…”
“I think its too early for me to simply call it a good game. Just played 3 hours or so. Maybe im a bit biased bc i like this type of game in general. Obviously reminds me a lot of Heroes and other similar titles. Theres…”

“the basegame is ok. the gameplay is ok as well, but nothing to be amazed about. the pixelart is stellar and the controller (steam deck) support is amazing! but, the writing of this game came of as really really bad and…”
“Great pixel art. Campaign is uninteresting and gameplay is a slow drag. I regret this purchase.”
“It is hard to recommend this game. It's a decent game with some beautiful art and lovely music and sound design. The creators also had several good ideas to make it an unique entry into the strategy genre and not just a…”

“Love the game. I am a huge fan of Heroes 3 Might and Magic and this one gives a very similar experience. Magic mechanic is pretty unique. The only thing, I find tactics a bit simplified as there is no wait/defend…”
“I completed each mission in the story. I think this is a great story strategy game. Reminds me allot of Heroes of Might and Magic 3/4/5 which were my favorites. This game has enough changes that it feels different. I…”
“With 153 hours played on this game, something would be wrong with me if I didn't like the game xD xD If you are a Heroes of Might & Magic fan, you HAVE to play this game. It builds on the tried and true formula, and…”

“Wow... never would have imagine leaving a negative for this game. But... here are. It game is "all bark, no bite". Visually good, audio very good, the mechanics are consistent. But by turn 30 I'm bored out of my skull.…”
“It has been ages since I played HoMM 3 and I could not get into further HoMM sequals. But this Hommalike is really something, it adds some nice fresh mechanics, has increased depth and some great pixelart. Honearable…”

“Def recommend for players who like this style of game. Even rec for new players. Some great quality of life changes to the genre since I played Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Had a blast solo and coop. Local and online…”
“This game is great. as a Heroes of might and magic fan this was a breath of fresh air. I've been playing a lot of custom matches with my friends and family and enjoying pushing our luck with scaling up ai difficulty.…”
“I love this game, I love to see it get expansions, it even inspired ubisoft to get off their ass and make a competitor so in my eyes SoC revived this genre. Definitely one of the prettiest games I've played, works…”

“The game really has to stand on its story, there are 1000000 might and magic clones, and this one didnt try very hard to be unique. Even the units are just straight up the exact same as every other clone. The factions…”
“5/10 I played on the third difficulty and dropped the game after ~2 hours. Coming from HoMM , this just feels like a weaker clone that made me appreciate the HoMM more. Combat is shallow, ranged units are overpowered,…”

“I love the game, but... I mean come on... AI dumbly cheating on higher campaign difficulties, we're already been through that with some HoMaM games. Why do we have to still pretend to have a fog of war when AI clearly…”
“Wanted to really like this game but some of the unit design choices are just weird and lacking. The contrast between well designed and not well designed factions is jarring. Even then, I could forgive it if the story…”
“This isn't HOMM, but it'really good. AI needs work: The higher difficulties give so much free stuff to the AI it's unreal. It sometimes just ignores loot on the ground, but it will go out of it's way to take a mine”

“Love the game. One thing i would like is for them to put more campaign oriented dlc or content in to the game.”
“Сначала мне не зашло, поиграла пару часов и думала уже скипнуть, но потом решила все-таки хотя бы одну кампанию пройти и втянулась. Из плюсов: прикольная графика, музыкальное сопровождение, интересные юниты. Из минусов:…”

“It's very beautiful game made with love and a lot of efforts. One thing bother me though, I would want map generator, with random things. Because it very fast became too repeptetive.”
“It is important to keep in mind that this is an indie game and not expect AAA quality, but it does what it does pretty well. The story structure of telling basically one event from 4 perspectives is very interesting and…”

“I never liked strategy games. They require thinking, and thinking is not exactly my strongest suit. Bought this game because the pixel art is gorgeous. The music is gorgeous. The fantasy atmosphere is gorgeous. My strategic abilities are not gorgeous. I tried to get into it like…”
— a player, Steam review · 98 hrs played“Great TBS (Turn Based Strategy) game. Very similar style to Heroes of Might and Magic II, III and V. Also somewhat similar to AoW (Age of Wonders) 2/SM, AoW 4, or the Disciples series. If you are unfamiliar with these type of games: They are basically part classic 2D RPG (lots…”
— a player, Steam review · 126 hrs played“Game is excellent, homage to HoMM and a unique interesting magic system. Learning the different factions and units is simple enough and it also has a fair amount of depth. You take command of a "Wielder", a magic user who imparts his strength to his troops and there is a pool…”
