Heroes of Might and Magic® 5: Bundle

maps are smaller, it repeatedly crashes on Huge Maps, AI is unbelievably slow even on modern hardware, i.e. press next turn, then go make a coffee, then make another coffee, and another. HOMM3 was a masterpiece, whereis HOMM5 is a pile of crap which gets 2 stars only because it reminded me of HOMM3. Also, guys who know Nival as a company - all their games were always unbearably slow, they just can't code those guys, and that's probably the gist of it.

Plays very smooth (gameplay principles almost the same as in Heroes3), although with some smaller technical issues on Win10. If the graphics bug out, it helps to change one random setting (i.e anisotropy) in the options menu and revert it back (makes the subsystem save the changes in-game) and the graphics look sharp again. It is best played in 4:3 aspect ratio. One can force it to widescreen but all UI elements stretch and it looks bad that way.

I bought this game and both expansions on the day they were released respectively, even bought the special edition of the vanilla game as I am such a huge fan of the franchise. This could have been a such great game but fails horribly due to game breaking bugs. The game is built off the ultra addictive Homm3 and expanded it to include some of the best features of Homm4. I like the netrual monsters, the upgrade choices, and the new the dynamics that this game includes even though the load times are way too long. The Problem is there is a fatal bug when making and playing a "huge" map which corrupts the file and is unrepairable. I have searched for hours and hours for a fix or a way around it but the only answers I have found are: if it happens your screwed! I poured so many hours into my highly detailed huge map and was crushed when this happened. To an experianced Homm player custom maps are the lifeblood of this game and this bug absolutely ruined the game for me!

I love this game and I think too it's one of the 2 best HOMM but I have some technical issues only with this game on GOG. I works very slooooowly on my computer (the only game on my computer. I have around 80 games on steam), so... Sometimes, it crashes. I don't why. I'm a fan of heroes of might and magic and of might and magic too. Have fun guys if you don't have issues when playing on your computer too

Im glad that GOG is doing these games up. It works perfectly and it is as fun as fun gets. You have to play this game if you love turn based strategy games. The music and graphics are top notch. Thank you GOG for bringing my favourite games back to life!
