M&M: Dynasty Tweeted

[{CH}ArticleBot]

Recently, a Twitter account dedicated to "Might & Magic: Dynasty" appeared. There's not much info there yet, but it mentions such things as "strategic turn-based battles" and three factions from the world of Ashan: Haven, Dungeon and Stronghold. You can keep up with the Twitter account @DynastyMight here.

It clearly follows EoC strategy, hopefully it won't take years to launch here. In China the game is running for quite some time. See the page:

Yes, it's mobile game only, again.

My Lords,
What really makes MMD? Let's take a look.

#1 - Strategic Turn-based Battles
#2 - Multiple Factions
#3 - Build Your Capital City

I really like like they did Queen Catherine
(Apart fact, that's completely someone else)

Oh boy... Another mobile game set on Ashan...

As long as these two words remain in the description of an M&M game, we know it probably won't be good.

What a terrible fate for the once greatest franchise in the history of computer gaming...

Yeah, felt pretty much dismayed, again. I don't know how they manage that. Almost all heroes are humans, no matter which faction. They say it's turn-based, but not far, in another twit, they mention real-time battles, so what interpretation comes from that? 3 factions available so far, 20 unique creatures! (they wrote as if that was a blast) Collect heroes! (now that's the thing) And don't forget to gimme mony! (implicit everywhere)

... this time I won't even try it. The only thing that could be worst would be EA buying Ubi.

Apart the fact that all of them look as if they have never seen battle.

A 15 year-old Catherine, so we're getting an origin story apparently.

There are some videos on Youtube. Some date back to 10 months ago (and have a Chinese UI and voiceover), while others (in English) appeared two weeks ago.

The game is for Android and iOS.

To be fair, it looks better than H7. And that's probably a bait.

Yup.. pretty much echoes my sentiments. Rolled my eyes and groaned when I saw the news. Although I just watched a video of it and it doesn't look half bad.. kind of impressed actually.. if only there was non mobile version without all the microtransaction cr*p!

10+ years ago yeah sure but considering the recent excellent PC C&C remasters 'modern EA' seems to be doing better job with old licenses than Ubi lol! Ubi is going to exploit M&M for years to come in every chinese mobile game format it can think of instead of actually giving the fans what they want lol.

Okay... I can understand that from a purely technical standpoint. The graphics are quite good for a mobile game.

As for everything else, though, the videos confirm what I had feared: Dynasty looks exactly like a watered-down version of the Ubi era Heroes games -- with their bloated skill wheels, heavily cut down resources (like in Heroes 6), and the unnecessary combat shenanigans. Stylistically, it's the same story: mostly recycled music and sound effects and that terrible art style mixing Warhammer and anime aesthetics.

These are all the elements that put me off the Ubi M&M games.

Plus, micro transactions, hohohoho. That 'gorgeous' battle gameplay is a bait, purely still. A lot of things based on actual time to be done (like buildings) ... these things scream: Boost me! Only 2,99!

Yup THAT is what puts me off ever bothering with it.

[BB Shockwave]

Yet another dumb chinese mobile game? Does Ubisoft NOT have any developers in the west anymore?

[BB Shockwave]

Aren't these just the same Heroes VI and VII models? I would recognize the crappy new Basilisk with the Goblin rider anywhere. And the Dungeon has the Heroes VI "50 shades of purple" look.

[Panda Tar]

Yeah, reused assets, songs, consumers, everything in a single package.
