Today we’ll talk about the Heroes 7 game, an overview of which will be given later. To begin with, the first part of the series appeared almost 20 years ago. In total, more than twenty projects related to this virtual universe have been created.
Manufacturer
Ubisoft has prepared the Heroes 7 (Beta) game for all fans of the series. We will not do a separate review for the test version, since very soon after its appearance it was also complete.
Development
We already know who created the Heroes 7 project. A review of the game should begin with a description of the process of its development. Over the seventh part of the series worked studio staff from Germany - Limbic Entertainment. Prior to this, the specified team worked on official additions. This time, the developers carefully studied the many criticisms of the fans and tried to correct the shortcomings. On the official forum of the game, before its launch, a special section was created where everyone could express their views on the future of the famous series. The company also conducted a number of important surveys, reworking some areas during the creation process. It was thanks to the fans of the series that the dark elves became the sixth fraction in the plot, although initially this place should have been taken by Inferno. The Devils also returned to the Heroes universe. However, later - in a special addition to the game "Heroes of Might and Magic-7." The review of the plot can be reduced to the fact that it covers the time interval between parts 4 and 5. We will talk more about the development of events below.
Plot
Empress Miw perished. Empire Falcon greatly weakened, it literally crumbles into pieces. Around the young Ivan built the main storyline of the game "Heroes-7." The review will continue with brief information about it. This is the Duke of the Griffin family. He is not yet sure whether to take part in the struggle for the throne. However, the Shadow Council, with the participation of all allied factions, decides to support Ivan. Thus, he becomes the new head of the Alliance of Light. From this moment begins the struggle, during which the duke will become a real strong and wise ruler. The plot is divided into 7 campaigns. Each tells about the best hero of one of the factions. The main character of the seventh story is Ivan himself.
Heroes 7: Gameplay Overview
We are waiting for several fractions. Each has its own skills, abilities and capabilities. Initially, there are six. The Alliance of Light is represented by people whose leader is Ivan. Mighty sorcerers run the show at the Academy of Wizardry. The rebellious tribes appear in the form of fearless orcs. As for the ancient undead race, it is here called the Necropolis. The Forest Union includes elves. The Dark Elves created the League of Shadows. As the plot progresses, new factions come into play. Each race will have its own heroes, as well as unique units. Let's say a few words about their composition. The units of each of the factions include 3 base characters, 3 elite fighters, as well as two champions. Various combat vehicles will appear again, known to us in the third as well as in the fifth parts of the game.
Surprises
When traveling on a map, you can customize the interface based on your own preferences. Now you can move menu items to personalize the game window as much as possible. Creatures in each of the cities will be added locally. They can be transmitted through caravans, but the process will require a certain number of resources. In total, we are waiting for 12 schools of skills for heroes. Levels are also provided. Three schools allow you to achieve the title of "master".
The project introduced restrictions regarding the construction within one city. You cannot organize a couple of structures in a castle to attract champions. The same applies to some other buildings that provide significant benefits. The game works on the basis of the Unreal 3 gaming platform . The player was able to assign the most popular spells and skills to the cells, thereby providing quick access to them.
The number of characters depends on the city of their employment. The wheel of abilities and skills of the hero has been redesigned. The hero receives points that he is able to spend on choosing a skill or ability or gaining access to levels or schools.
The game was announced in August 2014 during the international exhibition of electronic entertainment. The official website was opened immediately after the event described.
An elven faction was added to the game based on the results of user voting, in which it defeated the Northern clans. Another survey was conducted in which the dark elves defeated the demons.
The official release was scheduled for September 2015. Pre-ordering the game could be done ten days before its official submission. In turn, the Ubisoft product key was distributed on the appointed day of the presentation. Soon, the new product appeared on Steam. Now you know everything about the Heroes 7 game, an overview of which we presented today.
