Reception
"Classic 'Heroes' Gameplay at its Finest. If you have any love at all for turn-based strategy games, and you're looking for a game that has enough content to keep you occupied for a good deal of time, check out Palm Heroes 2 Deluxe, you won’t be disappointed."
4/5 rating | www.toucharcade.com[1]
"Basically, the developers were trying to remake the original game on modern machines, and they succeeded. While this is a strike against innovation, Palm Kingdoms 2 Deluxe does preserve what made Heroes of Might and Magic 2 so great."
