Olden Era revives a legend with a feature-rich early-access comeback

GamesRadar+ reviewer Oscar Taylor-Kent calls Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era a triumphant return, blending the classic Heroes 3 feel with modern twists.

The campaign is still incomplete and the learning curve can be steep, but the turn-based strategy RPG core is tight and deeply satisfying, promising a strong revival for the beloved series.

Mewgenics blends base-building cat breeding with tactical, turn-based dungeon combat across interconnected acts, rewarding experimentation with hybrid classes and mutations while delivering irreverent humor and a distinctive Isaac-inspired aesthetic; the depth is staggering and highly addictive, though newcomers may feel overwhelmed by its systems, limited early information on breeding and items, and the sheer randomness that can both empower and derail runs.
