PK2: Remastered 12+

First off, the game is loads of fun, pretty much a little clone of HoMM2/3

The 4$ for the maps, in my opinion totally worth it. I have seen the in-app purchase window pop-up once or twice so far, but hasn't tricked me into accidentally spending money yet.

Here's why 4 and not 5 stars:
Some maps are very poorly thought out. At least one map is literally not finished, another contains a million hidden objects so you think you're stuck until you've clicked all the possible squares. The last map was all fun until the final battle, where it would have taken me real-life hours of running around the map trying to both avoid the ai and recruit an overwhelming army, as the ai had 1.6k mana and lvl 4/5 spells, myself being limited to lvl 3 spells. Just poor design.

Otherwise, really fun game.

I was so excited to get this game and when I found that you only got 4 maps for free I wasn’t concerned at all to pay that. Until I played the game for 5 minutes and found that you pretty much have to pay money via micro transactions to progress in game. The game world opponents and random monsters are far more powerful than your hero. It literally takes hours of skipping to get what little troops you can recruit. All of the games resources are guarded by extremely difficult mobs. I was so excited for this game but realize now the developers have no interest in doing a truly wonderful rehash of a classic. They just want to get your money. So disappointing from a long time Heroes fan.

I adore this game and was bummed when PK2 stopped working a few years back. Had been holding my breath for PK3 but it appears that project died on Steam/greenlight.

Just found this “remastered” version and am ecstatic! Not thrilled to pay for the same map pack again, but $4 is ultimately worth it for the 100s of hours of gameplay you’ll get (again).

One question—on iPhone how do I chose which hex a troop will attack from? If I walk to the hex I want, the Troop’s turn ends without attacking. If I select the enemy I want to attack I don’t seem to have the ability to choose which hex to do it from. Thanks!

Oh and regarding comments about pop ups to buy gold, I got them about five times on one map (the free map where four players all control knight castles), then they stopped.
