Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era

The core of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is as solid as the series has ever been, and though there is plenty to be tweaked and rebalanced in the coming months, this Early Access starting point can satisfy both New World Computing-era yearners and newbies curious to see what the fuss is about alike.

Olden Era delivers high immersion and long-lasting enjoyment befitting the series. Although, as it's in Early Access, some content is lacking, and the UI/UX could be more refined. Nevertheless, it shows promise for the revival of the Heroes of Might and Magic series, and with future patches addressing its shortcomings, it has the potential to become an even better title.

It has been a very long time since a game has been that compelling that I’ve lost track of time so much that I see the morning sun come through my window. I’m getting too old to manage that. Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era did that to me.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era makes a strong early access return to classic strategy, offering deep systems and engaging combat, but still needs polish, balance improvements, and more content before reaching its full potential.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is a successful attempt to bring Heroes of Might & Magic back to its roots, capturing the core appeal fans have been waiting for while taking a strong first step in Early Access. Inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic III, it modernizes exploration, progression, city building, and combat without losing the strategic depth and lasting sense of fun that made the series so memorable.
