User Reviews

The app is a faithful, nostalgic port of classic HoMM-style games, offering depth and long play sessions. Reviewers praise faithful recreation, strong execution, and VoiceOver accessibility, with many calling it a favorite for retro fans. However, accessibility experiences vary for blind players, as VoiceOver is supported but not universally usable, and memory/navigation can be challenging. A few updates introduce UI quirks and there is desire for features like map generation. Overall, it is highly regarded with some notable usability and accessibility caveats.
Pros
  • Faithful recreation of the HoMM series that captures the original spirit
  • Deep, engaging gameplay with hours of replay value
  • Nostalgic retro appeal: three classic DOS-era games wrapped in a solid port
  • Good Accessibility support for blind players via VoiceOver
Cons
  • Accessibility remains inconsistent for blind players: VoiceOver is supported but not universally usable
  • Map memory/navigation can be challenging, making it easy to lose track of position

I was a huge fan of the original homm series and have been wishing to play it again on my iPad. Thank you. This is so accurate to the spirit of what made those games so enjoyable. The only other thing I would ask is for the map maker or a random map generator. Latest update has caused some controls to be offscreen in landscape mode and the only way to access them is to turn iPad to picture frame position, turning the iPad 90 degrees. Also, actions during battle are scrolling on right side of screen with no way to turn off. Still enjoy the game, with some irritation.

The whole reason I had this app was for the mobile version of Brogue, or the “dungeon” mode. Really disappointed that it was removed. BRING IT BACK!!!

I am experiencing an issue where I have proceeded to floor 14 but every additional save made is a copy of an old save on floor 10 so every time I come back to the game, I have to start over at floor 10. I’ve tried creating additional saves, but it does not resolve the issue and every file I load takes me back to the same location. The image for the most recent save will actually show the correct location, but upon load it is not correct. I’m not sure if it’s loading some cached save, or if the serialization process is just writing bad data. Hope you can resolve it!
