Heroes of a Broken Land
I did not play long, so this isn't a fair review.
Overview
Heroes of a Broken Lands is a turn-based 1st person party dungeon crawler. The bulk of the game takes place exploring dungeons and fighting monsters. There is some overland travel and there are towns to visit.
Why I Bought It
One of the first games I ever loved was Wizardry, and this has a similar feel. While this game is superior to Wizardry, the adventure genre has had 40 years to improve. Wizardry does not stand the test of time. It helped shape the genre, but has been long surpassed.
Why Does It Have Such Good Reviews?
Honestly, I don't know. Maybe it's a gem that you don't understand until you have played 10 hours. People compare it to Civilization -- I have a hard time believing that.
Recommendation
I'm not sure how it ended up in my library. It's currently $15, and that's more than I would pay for this game even during a 75% sale. Maybe it was 90% off and I couldn't pass it up? In any case, nothing the screenshots or reviews say make me think my impression is incorrect. "Addictive game" doesn't mean "good game" if you are just mindlessly pushing buttons.
