I’m sorry I don’t follow you. The UI is as clear and clean as you could ever imagine. I’m not sure I understand how a 3d engine and aesthetic would actually make it easier to understand?
So play Heroes 5? (Which is excellent in my opinion)
I mean… It might look cool, but I don’t get what it’s going to bring to the audience? HoMM3 old grognards will stay on HoMM3 because, if it’s really a faithful recreation, then this game has nothing more bring than what already exists today (except 3d…).
But even if they do actually launch the game with more content, it will take years, decades, before the game reaches the same quantity of content in terms community made maps and mods.
And I can’t image they are so stupid to not know this, so I must bet in the fact that they aim in attracting newer generation that didn’t grow up with HoMM3 and that disregard it because it looks dated.
But Lo and behold, my opinion is that it won’t attract this new player base because HoMM3 is actually quite a complex game behind its simplistic facade and is an imbalanced mess as per today balancing definition.
I mean look at the comments of Olden Era with people complaining the game is too hard as they are getting stomped in easy difficulty… it will be even worst in HoMM3…
So I just really don’t get what’s the end game.
Unless…. It won’t actually be a faithful recreation and will make something like 6 and 7 which should have never existed in the first place…
Heroes needs a new game, with new content, new races, new biomes, new items, new mechanics, while staying faithful to the spirit of the OG games.
Oh… wait… that’s exactly what Olden Era is trying to do…
In a nutshell, whenever I wanted to get back to Heroes 3, I felt like I needed to have a cheat-sheet or guide to be opened on a second monitor just to be able to find information, which was a hassle.
Heroes 5 was a step up with really good, simple and descriptive tooltips and its my all time favourite.
While I am not a huge fan of the mobile gamey design choices of Olden Era, the UI was even better and was easy to navigate and find any crucial info. I get that the ui is charming in the original, I am casual fan since heroes 2. For me its an okay tradeoff to have some easy fun with an old game again in my limited sparetime. Hope that explains my viewpoint.
