HoMM 3 is an amazing game, and developing characters while learning the ins and outs of each faction is really fun.
Heroes Chronicles takes the core game, but gives you an overarching story throughout each chronicle, with each one encapsulating Tarnum's experiences with one story arc.
The concept should work; however, some bland and downright poor level design, combined with the boring repetition of playing the same faction for 8 maps straight, and a mediocre story, made playing this a chore.
4 missions in and I have decided to stop.
I remember the storylines and quests from the core game being better, if you are looking for a good single player HoMM 3 experience, this isn't it :/.
The second mission in this was ROUGH, large maze like map, with a lot of fetch quests that need to be done in a specific order. And almost all the fetching revolved around grabbing creatures from generators around the map, but usually only 1 would be available, so I spent literally weeks waiting for more to recruit to move to the next part.
I almost stopped playing and consider this done right there, but I beat it, lets hope the third mission is great, if not, I think im done with this game.
