As Hexis's strength grows, so does his negative effect on nature itself. Earthquakes, floods, storms, and more have begun to spread across the kingdom, and it is up to the five heroes to stop Hexis and somehow reverse the damage he has done. [3DO]… Expand

    If you love the series this is a must have.

    The game disappoints with a lack of new heroes and new units. I still give this one a recommendation to fans of turn-based fantasy strategy games.

    Adds a good deal of new content to play through: six massive single-player campaign games and a whopping 30 additional scenarios. But not much else.

    A rather uninspired add-on to a rather uninspired sequel, which could only really garner an uninspired review.

    A fine piece of work, but a little hastily put together...Due to the lack of a random map generator and due to the limited replay value of the maps, the most you can get from the expansion is a week of playing.

    A disappointing expansion for Heroes IV. The few new items available could've easily been available for free, while the biggest change to the game - multiplayer -- is already free.

    It's a lot more of the same - the same grinding disenchantment. [Feb 2003, p.80]

    Heroes of the Storm is not your typical MOBA, and that's a good thing.

    The team play here is key, the support are not forced the ADC's ****    Heroes of the Storm is not your typical MOBA, and that's a good thing.

    The team play here is key, the support are not forced the ADC's **** and the length of each game is way shorter and ALWAYS winnable even if you fall far behind the enemy team.    … Expand

    I think the real add-on this game has are the new campaigns which are very good, a LOT better than the ones that came with the original hmm4.

Gotta love that each campaign is to prepares one of heros you will use in the for a final battle, this really adds some flavour to the campaign since u have to balance them.… Expand

    For a campaign it's a ok DLC, but very average.
    Major flaw is that they add only a few new units without new castles... What ?
