Might and Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition

Might & Magic: Heroes VI is, as the name suggests, the sixth installment of the most popular series of turn-based fantasy strategies. This time Black Hole Games is responsible for the production, the studio which has created Warhammer: Mark of Chaos.

The plot begins 400 years before the events from the fifth part and offers a truly epic story. Angels play the first fiddle as they embark on a conspiracy to reignite a long forgotten war with the help of an Archangel who was killed years ago. This legendary general has now returned from the grave to seek revenge. Under the guise of preparations for the coming demon invasion, he begins to unite the people of Ashan under his banner. Only the people of the Gryf dynasty can stop him. Its members are unfortunately not bad herbalists. The eldest sister, Anastasia, murdered her own father, Prince Slav, and when the death penalty was carried out on her, she returned from beyond the worlds. Now she leads hordes of Undead, sharpening their teeth on foreign territories. Her twin brother Kiril has sold his soul to the devil and commands the Inferno faction in his name. The heir to the throne, Prince Anton, has allowed himself to be seduced by the Archangels and leads a heavenly crusade with their blessing.

Might & Magic: Heroes VI traditionally is a combination of turn-based strategy with RPG elements. During the game we have to explore huge maps, collect tons of resources and build extraordinary cities. We can develop heroes, recruit units and fight battles on the beautiful battle maps. The game also offers a lot of freedom in playing characters thanks to the introduction of a reputation system, which strongly affects the further course of the game. A big attraction is an expanded bestiary filled to the brim with new dangerous monsters.

The gameplay takes place in turn-based system and its basic assumptions resemble those present in the previous part. However, there are many improvements and changes. We abandoned the separate city screens in favor of presenting them directly on the map. Thanks to this, one glance is enough to judge how developed a given town is. In addition, after conquering an enemy castle we can now convert it into a city of our own faction. For example, conquering Heaven with demons, with one click we can turn it into Inferno, so that we can produce allied units and gain bonuses for defense.
All this has been shown with modern 3D graphics, and an additional plus is the extensive community aspect, which allows easy correspondence and competition with friends.
