The olds school heroes of might and magic
And i think here is the problem in the end. Good old games were good cause they had new ideas and new things in it. They broke all the things other games befor came and when you make remake and an old one... You will loose some of it's magic. So To kings bountys fault is that it falls to the old thing (been there, done that) trap.
Now even if the kings bounty that was remade wasn't that good at least the Armored prince was some what better. New units. new other things on the old one. And they made it much user friendlier. Still there are some bad things in it and it's still same old. But at least it's better than the original or the remake.
I think if people want the old Homm I think this is the game for them. And it has some good moments. There ain't that much bad moments in it and it isn't as frustating as the remake was at some point.
