This is basically a re-skin of the Pocket Kingdoms 2 map of the same name, but lovingly developed for modern mobile devices. All of the games graphics have been completely redone from scratch over 4 years. Textures are sharp, colors pop, and the world comes to life in a way that PK2 never quite did. "Fat finger" mode appears to be gone, but on my iPhone 5 the game is more responsive and hitboxes seem more precise, and Im not missing it. So the game an upgrade from top to bottom - well worth the money. There are also three difficulty levels now.
In-app purchases are limited to gold in case you are totally stuck, so theyre more than optional, theyre an aid that can and should be avoided, unless you want to tip the devs of course.
Speaking of the devs, the game still pauses at the end of the "day" (although very briefly), which tells me that that its built on an engine designed for a new Pocket Kingdoms game. I dearly hope that project ends up happening, because there is nothing better than having a true Heroes of Might and Magic clone on my phone. For the Ironfists!
