Dynamic events sometimes pop up on the overworld map, such as when an ogre smashes a key bridge in two with a boulder. That’s all here, and there’s virtually nothing here that hasn’t been seen before aside from a welcome addition in the ability to deal additional damage to enemies by flanking them with multiple soldiers. Finding one of the latter means jumping into strategic battles that superficially resemble Holochess from Star Wars, and where your named heroes dish out damage and protect their minions for the sidelines. True to the series, this is a turn-based game about sending heroes out to explore a world shrouded in a fog of war, where they find resources, allies, and foes hidden throughout. To its credit, MMH7 generally gets the broad strokes right.
