It's a Russian indie-game that's been out for a while, but has only recently been translated into English.
It's available on GoG right now.

I was skeptical at first because it is supposedly made by one man, and since Russian games are known to be plagued with bugs.
However, after playing it for a few days, all I can say is WOW!
It is an amazing game for those who like Heroes of Might and Magic or King Bounty.
It is an enjoyable and yet complex game that had me glued to my chair for hours on end. It is similar to the other games in that you have a hero who travels the map with his troops and kill monsters, but it is different in many important ways, such as having troops who actually gain experience and level up with your hero.
There are a host of other features as well, such as taking over territories for specific resources (I'm not talking about taking over a simple mine or a lumber mill, but an actual province), exploring one's territory for hidden secrets, such as weapon traders and haunted dungeons, and having to make some tough decisions in many different random events that pop up from time to time and which can have some drastic consequences.
The graphics are good enough, and on my monitor 1920*1080, the images look fine, and don't look all warped out of shape.
It's not even $10, and if you like this type of game, I would highly recommend that you try it.
Oh, but let me warn you that the game is rogue-like in that the game auto-saves after every turn 😀
