Silence of the Siren Reviews

if you're a fan of heroes of might and magic style gameplay, this is that but sci-fi, with new ideas on unit mechanics. very fun so far

Heroes of Might and Magic in a different theme, with many nice additions, reworked ability scaling, still a lot of things missing and a lot of things that could be added, pretty much what you wait from Early access. In order to boost the gameplay even more i would suggest the devs to take a peek at the heroes vWOG possibilities( 3.d upgrade for final monsters, commanders, loans, base converts, in depth abilities ->like spying) One of the best games to give actual Heroes wibe in a different upgraded and new theme. Absolutely recommend if you are fan of the genre

HOMM fan, favorite is 3, but I love the series and similar games like Kings Bounty. This game is really looking good in early access. It's got more content to add, features to tweak, etc...but what a fantastic start from the devs!

A fun game similar to the old Heroes of Might and Magic games.

really good HOMM3 feeling. with a little more map diversity and a few more skils it wold be toptier

Excellent spiritual successor to the Heroes of Might and Magic series, particularly 2 & 3. It's still in EA, but there's enough content here easily for 60+ hours. The writing is spot on, and I found myself chuckling a few times thanks to the tooltips and extra bits of lore on units and buildings.

+ The game is fun. There are only 4 factions in it now, but they are quite different and each has its own unique features. Due to which it is cheerful to play + Campaign and factions lore are interesting (be sure to read the description of units and faction buildings - it is definitely worth it) + The music is simply gorgeous. + At first, science (local magic) seemed weak, but in fact it can easily change the entire outcome of the battle by 180 degrees. It has enough funny features - Not enough information. For example, out of three attributes, only combat power normally says in numbers what it does. Because of this, I initially underestimated science quite a bit. - There are not enough separate modes of the global map for resource buildings, buildings of interest and resource extraction in the ground, etc. Note: I hope developers will change the current name of the game (Heroes of Science and Fiction) to the original (Silence of the Siren), or something more euphonious. For example, Heroes of Space and Science, or Heroes of Strength and Science.

This game is huge drawback from HoMM3: devs removed many features like hero specialization, nerfed magic. Thou there are few interesting ideas like day-night cycle, consumables and building on global map, it’s not more than small features and routine, not game-determining mechanics. Just compare to SoQ where almost every aspect was reworked: magic, army, town development. Despite the name, this game have nothing to do with science and fiction. Same dwarfs, knights… For some reason junta of moles operates the way any other human state does. Same for undead that (surprise!) look like cyber insects. Why are they cyber, why are they anthropomorphic? Even more – they look like skeletons, not bugs. Just compare them with bugs from Olden Era or at least Planetfall. Optimization is far-far beyond science and fiction. NVidia 4070Ti works at full load like in Cyberpunk on HD with ray tracing. Unless approach is changed and developers introduce some new ideas (game mechanics) this game not worth time and money.

This is a very competent Heroes of Might & Magic clone in a sci-fi setting. The art style is gorgeous, the unit and faction design shows a lot of creativity and the game has a sense of humour. An easy recommendation for any HoMM enthusiast. I like this game even more than Hero's Hour and Songs of Conquest (which you should also check out, if you are looking for other HoMM-likes).

Clearly a love letter to HoMM3. Shows a lot of promise though there is still work left to do. If you're a fan of Heroes 3 but ran out of content, this is a must-try. If you like sci-fi themed turn based strategy games with RPG elements, again, a must-try. In the 4X genre, this game is more like Heroes 3 than any other, and that's a big compliment. Some constructive criticism (keeping in mind the game is under development): The city soundtracks in this game are on-point, but the overworld and battle tracks leave much to be desired. The Fossorian unique ability is busted, it makes them by far the strongest option in an otherwise fairly balanced game. The AI on the hardest setting is still rather inept (just like in Heroes 3) The idea of the stratosphere is neat, like the Heroes underground area, but it feels underutilized. Overall a lot of fun and well worth the price. Keep it up devs!
