Heroes IV has a lot of new additions, but ultimately, it still plays like a Heroes game. That's definitely a good thing, as the Heroes formula clearly stands the test of time in Heroes IV and is every bit as enjoyable as it's ever been in previous games. An overly cynical (and not entirely accurate) way to assess the game would be to call it a revamped version of Heroes III with a new coat of paint--or many, many layers of paint. However, it's really to New World Computing's credit that the developer was able to incorporate so many new and interesting features into this sequel while still making sure it kept all the core elements that made all the previous games so great. Heroes IV is clearly a worthy successor to the series and has very clearly been worth the wait.
