The most classic installment is on sale for only $3.74 during the autumn sale, which is nearly at its historical low. After receiving a generous tip, the tavern keeper said: “This HD version does not include Shadows of Death and Armageddon’s Blade.” Friends who want to play should note that this version lacks random maps, elemental towns, and neutral creatures.
Songs of Conquest
The highest-selling spiritual successor has surpassed 50K copies sold after finishing its EA this year. During the autumn sale, it is priced at $13.99, which is close to its historical low. Given the game’s level of completion, it’s quite worth it.
Pennon and Battle
If you’re not a fan of the pixel art in Song of Conquest, you might want to check out the 3D model version, Pennon and Battle. The game was released before the leaks about Olden Era, but it incorporates many gameplay elements from those leaks, such as the Hive faction, online arena battles, and other designs. In addition to the classic gameplay of HoMM, the heroes also feature external progression, allowing players to spend points on a talent tree after playing a few matches, which makes it increasingly addictive. Currently, there are 5 factions, 6 types of magic, 7 tiers of units, and 3 branches, with the designs of the Mechanical Alliance and the Eternal Night Council being particularly distinctive. Most importantly, the game is updated weekly, and even if you haven’t played, you can suggest ideas in the forums and groups. The initial release was quite discouraging, but most issues have been addressed now. The price is also at a historical low, only $12.59.
Silence of the Siren
The game is a sci-fi themed version of HoMM, introducing initiative to determine the order of unit actions. The consumption of magic for combat and exploration skills is quite high, and even equipping ordinary items requires resource expenditure. Currently, there are 3 races, and during the autumn sale, it is priced at nearly $23.99!
I saw that Renowned Explorers: International Society had a pretty seriously deep sale going on right now. Only $4. It’s pretty interesting game, art styles fun, games got some interesting mechanics, overall I think it’ll scratch a turn-based strategy itch. I recommend it.

Old World base game for me. It got a lot of praise and I love historical stuff.
