Stormbinders – new fantasy strategy game inspired by HoMM series

Author: Liso1 April 8, 2025 2 Comments

It looks like the past few years have been a real treat for fans of turn-based strategy games in the style of Heroes of Might and Magic. We’ve had the popular Songs of Conquest for a while now, along with Silence of the Siren—essentially Heroes in space. And of course, we can’t forget the upcoming HoMM: Olden Era.

Brand new game was revealed by Slitherine, titled Stormbinders. I’ve been promised that as soon as it’s possible, I’ll get access to test the game. I’ll share more videos after that. Could this be a serious competitor to HoMM: Olden Era?

Developed by Destructive Creations and Innominate Games, Stormbinders is designed to bring back nostalgic players to classic turned-based dynamics, while adding new, innovative surprises. It blends classic tactical turn-based battles with broader and deeper strategic map exploration in a fight for survival against chaotic magic storms. The gameplay is set as an homage to the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

Its unique, randomized storm system adds a new layer of strategy to every encounter. Each time the game is launched, the weather dynamically changes on both the global map and the battlefield, creating fresh challenges for players. Combats unfold on a classic hexagonal battlefield. Success depends on army composition, positioning, and casting powerful spells while considering the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses.

Gathering resources is a key aspect of Stormbinders. Players must manage them wisely to construct buildings that enhance their kingdom’s power, gaining an advantage over enemies as they progress through the campaign.

Building Tree: where you can spend your resources to expand and upgrade your city.

Stormbinders features a wide variety of units from different factions. Players must recruit and carefully select a balanced composition of units to overcome their enemies on the battlefield.

Only the mightiest heroes will be able to battle enemies across distant lands, survive the magical storms, and restore the balance that once held the world together.

Once the hero is selected, players can guide them through the global map to fight enemies and collect resources that will help improve their kingdom in Stormbinders.

Magical storms are unpredictable in Stormbinders. They shift both on the global map and the battlefield, presenting players with new challenges every time they launch the game.
