Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Complete

I would say it is the greates game i have played. (turn Based game) I remember when i started playing Heroes of Might and Magic. So awesome world, it's a masterpiece and if you haven't got it, get it i bet you are going to like it. Great soundtrack, Great story. the best thing with it is the Random Map Generator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get it if you want a nice Turn based game, where you can play it some times. You aren't going to get disappointed about this game.

There's so many things about this game that are depressing. Maybe it's the 15-20K hours I've dumped into it in the last 17 years. Maybe it's the understanding that I'll never play a game with this replayability ever again. Ubisoft taking a steaming dump on all the later sequels is certainly a factor. No other game in existence has made me whisper softly to it "you...complete me"

I've installed Heroes 3 on no less than 4 different computers with 3 different OS's over the last 17 years, and with the random map generator, the possible gameplay is never exhausted. When the old desktop I used to play Heroes on bit the dust, I got a Windows 10 machine and I was sorry to see that 3DO's ancient DRM on my physical discs and Windows 10 wouldn't get along. Thus, I purchased the GOG version for 10 bucks and hoped for the best. Setup was painless, except for one quirk. The first time I tried to play a random map, the game wouldn't let me because the map couldn't be written to the hard disk. Fortunately, GOG's forums provided a simple solution (just make a new folder titled random_maps in the HOMM3 folder) and now I can play the game until this new machine wears out!

J'ai un problème. C'est certainement un problème technique : je vois une barre avec 5 étoiles et je peux cliquer dessus. Ça veut dire que moi, simple internaute mortel, suis autorisé à donner une note à Heroes 3 !!!??? Comme ça juste en cliquant sur un truc !!! Ça viens peut-être d'un bug sur ce site... Non... ça vient plus probablement d'un bug dans tout l'Internet de manière globale.

My version of HOMM3 is still on the old optical media. Yet I felt compelled to tell others contemplating this game on GOG at the current price of £3.59 - to go ahead and buy it. I missed the original title back in 1995, but managed to pickup a demo of HOMM2 in 1996, which quickly turned into a purchase soon after. There was a definitive crossover here that I first witnessed in Master of Magic - a hybrid of turn-based strategy in battle, paired with exploring a larger world map. Along came HOMM3 in 1999 and arguably, it's the best game of the series - certainly the most memorable. The game excelled in being easy to learn, yet very difficult to get the best out of. Complacency was your worst enemy. You could amass what you thought was a potent army - only to get it decimated by the ranged units of the enemy. Your army might have a default Evil slant towards their make-up - for example if you chose the Necropolis faction and the various death-biased units that it commands. This helps in attacking the factions that have an inherent Good alignment such as the Castle faction - but that philosophy cuts both ways. When the Good guys are on the attack, those of the Evil bias can have a tough time indeed. HOMM3 does a great job of making you want to explore, to amass more resources and take on more difficult encounters. Those monsters that destroyed your low level units are soon mere causalities of the map, once your armies get up to spec. The risk versus reward vibe is strong throughout this game, which invariably makes the compulsion to have 'just one more go' really quite addictive. Other aspects of HOMM3 must be mentioned too. This was created when the series was still under the helm of New World Computing - one of the great legacy software houses along with the likes of Looking Glass, that have unfortunately be absorbed into the annals of history. The music is beautiful - that of the Rampart faction is worth listening to, alone. A worthy purchase for any gamer.
