I have no idea why there's so many negative reviews for a literal free to play game which is similar to things like advance wars/xcom. May not quite have the refinement of those games but it's still excellent. No massive bugs, generally well written dialogue and intuitive quick mouse gameplay. I do find the unit balance a little off for some units, goblin shamans are super annoying and there's a high chance you'll lose a scenario to them if you're not careful. Although it does allow you to replay the previous turn and hopefully find a way to not lose. Your hero units are very OP though so can usually just mow them down and there's items which feel a bit cheaty to me, so i generally didn't use them unless the scenario was like "use this scroll" and it actually made sense to do so. It is reasonably easy even at free to play, seeing all you usually need to upgrade is the heroes and 1 or two key units and you're able to fight scenarios to farm extra gems/gold if you want an extra push. Anyway, well worth a try if you enjoy games such as battle of wesnoth/advance wars in particular. For those looking for similar try battle of wesnoth, also f2p with similar gameplay elements but more …

Игра Hex Commander: Fantasy Heroes - это увлекательная пошаговая стратегия, которая порадовала меня своей продуманной тактической глубиной и разнообразием. Возможность выбирать между несколькими фракциями, каждая со своими уникальными юнитами и способностями, добавляет реиграбельности. Кампании интересные, сюжет хоть и не самый оригинальный, но достаточно цепляющий, чтобы мотивировать к прохождению. Графика приятная, хоть и не самая передовая, но вполне соответствует жанру. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, управление удобное как на сенсорном экране, так и с использованием мыши. Особенно понравилась система развития героев, позволяющая кастомизировать их под свой стиль игры. Несмотря на некоторые недочеты в балансе юнитов (которые, надеюсь, поправят в обновлениях), Hex Commander: Fantasy Heroes - это отличная игра для любителей пошаговых стратегий, предлагающая много часов увлекательного геймплея. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет качественную игру в фэнтезийном сеттинге.
