$39.99
Open on Steam ↗US Steam price, checked 5 h ago · Lowest we’ve seen since Oct 20, 2026: $29.99
A Heroes III/V-inspired strategy game with a strong core and attentive developers. The cheating AI and PvP-focused updates hurt solo play, so skip it if you want polished PvE.
Great for
Heroes III/V fans, hotseat and PvP players who accept Early Access roughness
Main risk
AI cheats with huge armies or does nothing, and PvE content is thin
