Extremely enjoyable... Hard... & Extremely intriguing... This is a real mind work game... Simply... EXCELLENT
As i said , i didn't play Heroes Of Might & Magic V more than 1 hour, so i m supposed to be new to these kind of games, but it turn out to be wrong as i played Final Fantasy 7 & Final Fantasy 8 on PC which are based on the same battling system, except for the fact that in FF you upgrade the health & level of you fighting units, while here, you increase their numbers thus increasing the total of their healths & also, you can't upgrade their levels, but you can replace them by higher level units & your the number of additional squads depends on the level & leadership of your hero...
BUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTT:
& I wish to highlight this BUT, in this style of games the most enjoyable thing is the troops movement... You don't just go during your turn & attack someone who is far away from you with a melee unit , then simply return back to your initial place like FF because it's not logical or because FF assume that the space between you & your enemy is always close.
Really the control of the troops movement is one of the most enjoyable facts in the battling system because me, myself, i won battles only according to movements on battle field... & here , to make the thing more difficult, you can't place your units on the battlefield before battle simply, but you need to acquire an ability (which come so late) called KNOWING TACTICS to gain the advantage of placing your units on the field before starting the battle...
It was so challenging & so intriguing when you go and fight an enemy who is much much more stronger than you & you finally defeat him using your mind, your movements on the terrain, your abilities management & your counter measures & gain in compensation a lot of experience....
About the music, the music is normal & suitable to the environment which is the fantasy environment of Dragons, fairies , knights, orcs, goblins...etc.
About the graphics, they are so amazing & so beautiful & the colors are really cheerful... You can never underrate such game graphics although they don't use so much effects...
About the vocal assessment, there is no voice acting as most of the these kind of games...
& Usually, if you're not battling, the game is going as an RPG build...
A real nice challenging game , which push you to work your mind & take your hat off...
