Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Demo on Steam

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is the official prequel hailing back to the origins of the genre-defining, critically acclaimed series of turn-based strategy games. Recruit heroes, conquer fantastic lands, and overcome your foes in this single player demo.

There is also Hero’s Hour, a fresh(relatively) indie take on the HoMM series. One major difference that might be polarising is that every unit is displayed rather than being a single stack, and combat happens live rather than in turns. But you can set it super slow and pause too if need be.

I generally hate RTS, but I really enjoyed it. It’s got a fair bit of content. And so many factions that are all quite different from each other.

I loved Hero’s Hour, mostly because of it was built using Game Maker Studio, that scrappy drag and drop game making tool.
