Silence of the Siren (HoMM like scifi game)

Seen this posted in some of the HoMM communities. Silence of the Siren appears to be a HoMM like game in a scifi universe which is a very cool idea! I remember someone did a scifi version of HoMM called Spaceforce Captains years ago but it wasn't all that great. Hopefully these guys do a better job! The screenshots look pretty cool although I worry about it looking a bit too 'flash game art - ish' (especially battle screen creatures), however the videos show that they're using the hybrid 2D pixel art in a 3D world 'Songs of Conquest' style trick that looks much cooler in motion! Have wishlisted!

Having Fig newtons as a resource is a bold move, lol. I’ll probably give this a try at some point.

Oooh.. new dev diary update has revealed their town screens.. sure enough they're doing that HoMM style too. Nice to see creatures doing stuff outside dwellings. I loved that in HoMM1 and was sad that it didn't continue through the series (other than some dragons in one HoMM3 town) as it brings a lot of life to the towns.

Hopefully all the clones coming out lead to a revival of the series. It would be nice to have a Heroes 8 to look forward to and to see this community have more active members.

They've put out another dev diary update. This time talking about unit upgrades (using their space rat faction as an example) which appears to be handled the same as HoMM.

Looks like things are coming along nicely.. it's nice to see the map and also the base (castle) screen in motion. As expected all base management stuff is pretty much what we know and love in HoMM games.

And a 10min gameplay video too.. I was a bit worried about the graphics before, so am pleased to see they're pulling all the tricks (kinda like Songs of Conquest did) to make the cartoonish assets come to life with animation, lighting and zoom/panning effects (even in the bases).

EDIT: Looks like they've started handing out press copies.. nice big 30min gameplay video here:

I don't have anything about the concept but the artstyle as you said, especially combat, is somewhat depressing. Always will feel like mobile/flash game.

Yeah I struggle with it a bit.. although I do find as I watch more video and see it all in motion and animating that I like it more.. just the frozen shots I feel like I'm looking at a flash game lol.

Meanwhile they've done an article on the rat race from the demos..

EDIT:
------

New dev diary and video! I've said before how I love how they've done the HoMM1 like creatures standing in front of their dwellings system, but now I see & love even more that they also disappear after you hire them! The decoration becomes useful animating reminders of creatures to hire.

Just tried the demo and I've got to say, first "Heroes-clone" that feels like Homm. Even Hero's Hour and Songs of Conquest don't quite get there, but this one does.

Mole music is amazing too.

The leveling up is interesting, I wonder if the "correct" strategy will always be to increase movement or if the other abilities are strong enough

Increase movement isn't that strong, it seems.

And while HoMM 3 certainly was an inspiration, I actually see a lot of other influences.

Game promises to be pretty enjoyable when it's finished.

The mole-men are clearly inspired by real life.


But actually the building screen reminds me of Disciples for some reason
