Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition

Not much of an upgrade over the HD remaster, but Might & Magic: Clash Of Heroes is still one of the most unique strategy puzzle RPGs around. It's also one of the hardest strategy puzzle RPGs around, and your fun mileage may vary.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition is a worthwhile remake of a somewhat obscure puzzle classic. Its clever integration of light RPG elements on top of the puzzling action gives it an impressive amount of strategic depth, while the rotating cast of characters and factions offer plenty of variety in unit types and playstyles across its run. Add this to a strong multiplayer component, and you have a game that easily justifies the cost of entry. Though we were put off a bit by its difficulty spikes and the woes of RNG, this is ultimately a game that we'd give a strong recommendation to anyone looking for an interesting new puzzle game to add to their Switch library.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition brings us back this interesting and addictive spin-off of the beloved Might & Magic franchise. Although it does not surprise with great innovations, its formula is still as addictive as in 2009, and it is a unique proposal that combines puzzles and strategy in a satisfactory way. If you are a fan of the franchise or strategic challenges, this title should be in your collection.

For console gamers, or those who haven't dealt with this title before, this could be a really good and surprising production, especially if you're looking for an unusual puzzle game that can be easily dosed into short sessions. On the other hand, for owners of the original, an item that can be skipped, because in my opinion the changes made do not justify the higher price.

If you missed the Nintendo DS original and the 2011 HD version, consider this your third and best chance to try a previously overlooked gem.

Might & Magic – Clash of Heroes: Definitive Edition's nearly perfect combination of puzzle and RPG elements make for engrossing gameplay that's only occasionally hampered by frustration with the components that involve random luck. Whether this is your first playthrough or a double (or even triple) dip, it's not to be missed.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition from DotEmu is a decent game thanks to a clever mixture of RPG, puzzle, and strategy structure. It has a compelling storyline that reminds you of an 80s/90s RPG gaming world, and it has plenty of characters to play around with on the battlefield. It falls short with unbalanced gameplay that always leans towards enemy advantage and the control mechanics that can be incredibly finicky at times.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition adds a strategic twist to the match-three formula that makes it a blast to play. Whether battling through the meaty single player campaign, facing off against friends and strangers online, or having a quick battle alone, there’s plenty of fun to be had as you use your robust roster of units to dismantle your enemy’s defences. It adds a deceptively deep amount of strategy to the otherwise straight-forward match-three formula, but in doing so offers one heck of a satisfying puzzle experience that’s easy to pick up and play, but very, VERY hard to put down.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes has held up very well despite many similar games coming out in the intervening years. It offers a high level of depth in its battle system that keeps you coming back, and is especially well suited to the Switch's handheld mode that makes it easy to say "just one more battle."

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes: Definitive Edition is simply a fantastic adventure that any puzzle game fan should go on.
