I found a new strategy wargame “Pennon and Battle” on Steam. It’s surprising to see that there are still teams willing to make games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can’t help but remind me of the good old days when I used to play H3.

    I do not remember purchasing “gems” with real currency in the “good old days”

    It has so many micro transactions it’s obvious the game’s a cash grab on player’s nostalgia. Oh, and you cannot play it offline even in single player.

    My advice: avoid

      Also the GoG version of classic HoMM3 is perfecty playable and has the complete edition with extensions.

      Prefer this to the HD edition on Steam though, that one only contains base game and can’t be modded.
