Might & Magic - Clash of Heroes: Definitive Edition Deluxe Edition (Switch)

Might & Magic went through a lot of phases, but Clash of Heroes might be the most unexpectedly brilliant one. The Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes Definitive Edition Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch takes the puzzle-RPG hybrid that caught everyone off guard on the DS and gives it the remastered, physical treatment on a platform that actually makes sense for it. The deluxe edition case houses the game alongside enamel pins featuring the faction heroes, an acrylic standee for display purposes, and a 12"x16" poster that showcases the art style that made this game stand apart from every other entry in the Might & Magic franchise.

Clash of Heroes is the kind of game that people discover, become obsessed with, and then evangelize to anyone who'll listen. The battle system, a mix of match-three mechanics and tactical RPG unit management, shouldn't work as well as it does, but it does, and that's why it keeps getting rereleased. Having the Definitive Edition on a Switch cartridge means portable Clash of Heroes with all the upgrades, which is honestly how this game was always meant to be played.

Physical Switch releases continue to hold their value in ways that other platforms can't match, and a niche title with a dedicated fanbase is exactly the kind of pickup that ages well. Don't sleep on the weird ones.
