A disappointing and derivative addition to the gamut of fantasy based real-time strategies

With only three maps and an online matchmaking system that looks like a ghost town, there’s not much going on in the game’s multiplayer matches either. Still, despite its shortcomings, we’re hopeful that the series will redeem itself in its future titles by showing off the sci-fi/fantasy crossover goodies hinted at in HoAE. But with its clumsy combat, dim AI and generic plot, HoAE fails to add anything new to the already crowded fantasy based RTS genre.
