Stormbinders (Heroes of Might & Magic like game)

[Blake]

Looks like Slitherine who recently published the Master of Magic remake are doing another fantasy strategy game but this time a more Heroes of Might & Magic game that clearly takes inspiration from Songs of Conquest's hybrid 2D pixel art in a 3D world style.

There's no trailer yet as Slitherine plan to properly announce and show more of it on their next live stream on April 10th. From the early shots I'm seeing on the Steam page it's graphics aren't exactly mind blowing but are promising and hopefully the developers will up the coloured lighting and effects like some of the above games have to polish it's appearance it's in the future.

Modest budget indie HoMM like games seem to be all the craze these days with games like Songs of Conquest, Silence of the Siren, Songs of Silence, and the officially licensed Heroes of Might & Magic Olden Era, so it's pretty cool to have yet another one on the way!

Interesting to see the castle building tree. Looks like armies and castles can have up to 9 unit slots in them too.

I like the idea of having someones underwear hanging in the middle of battlefield. Even if they do not have a special aura it is a nice touch (not literally).

The Stormbinders Showcase event has aired.. Storms affecting the map and battles will be interesting and it's kinda nice to see the changing terrain in the castle screens like HoMM4 had.. but otherwise I'm not seeing much difference to HoMM. Hell the 4 factions are pretty much a rip off of HoMM5s lol! But hey.. looks like fun!

Certainly innovative idea. Well, heroes like games are currently undergoing a spree. What will come out of it is a question.
