In our next F2Pmeter we check out how free to play Might & Magic Heroes Online actually is. The game is a strategy-focused quest-based RPG set in the exciting Might & Magic world where players can play as the Haven or Necropolis faction as one of two different heroes; a Hero of Magic or a Hero of Might!
As ever all our games start at 100% and lose points depending on how many of their features require payment, let's see how M&M: Heroes Online handles our test!
No. The game is completely free to play and can be accessed through your web browser.
No (but...) ― -5%. There are no subscription options in the game, but multiple Premium Perks for individually purchasing certain licenses or Combo Shards to give players boosts and benefits for a certain amount of time, such as 1 day, 7 day and 30 day.
No. There are, as of yet, no expansions and all updates are provided free of charge.
Yes ― -5%. Players must buy premium currency (Hero Seals) which they can then use to buy new character slots, different Packs that have a number of customization options, resources, random hero equipment drop boxes and licenses (e.g. letting players view the details of an enemy army before battle). The lowest number of seals a player can buy is 4000 for $5.77.
Yes (but...) ― -5%. Some of the items that can be purchased are Relic artifact equipment to equip your character with, which can be purchased with Seals, albeit it is still a random chance that such a high quality item is acquired.
No. There are no restrictions to the user interface.
Yes. Both playable factions are available to all players, though players only have one free character slot and so can only play both factions (each of which has two classes) by purchasing Seals.
No. All trade features and vendors are accessible by F2P players.
Yes ― -10%. Players are able to stockpile resources and Prestige Points and they all have limits that players are able to expand by spending multiple thousands of Seals. Inventory is also limited in a similar style, starting with 15 slots players must spend 2,999 Seals (worth around $4.50) to expand to 20 slots and beyond.
Yes. There do not appear to be any areas that can only be accessed if purchased, however some mechanics are hindered when defeated in battle, players can purchase a License to allow them to retry a battle that they have lost.
No. There do not appear to be any limitations based on anything other than level.
Yes ― 10%. The game has interesting combat mechanics and a strong narrative story, however, there are obvious major benefits for those players willing to spend money in the game that go beyond simply trying to supplement cash advancement for those players that lack time.
M&M Heroes Online gets an 85% in our test.
