While I adore the Heroes franchise, I feel that Nival played it a little too safe with this one. After seeing them show a bit of originality in their other titles, this feels too much like development-by-the-numbers. To be sure, more Heroes is never a bad thing, but I wish that this game offered more than just a graphical upgrade of the previous titles.

Still, more Heroes is more Heroes, and you can hardly disregard that, particularly if you're a fan of the turn-based fantasy strategy genre. The field for these games isn't terribly crowded so it's a sure bet that those of you who are itching for more hot elf-on-zombie action will find lots of satisfaction here. Just don't expect that the developers have done much more than translate the older games into 3D.
