One of the best HoM&M games.
Right up there with the legendary III. After IV, this was a very nice return to form. Good: - Hero build diversity is massively improved Most skills have a use (where about 50% of them were useless in III). Many skills require some prerequisite skills to be able to pick them and every faction also has a very hard to get ultimate skill, which you will only potentially be able to get towards the end of the campaigns. - Thanks to the above, taking and building your heroes through the campaigns is a joy. With my ranger, I ended up going with a build focusing on Ballista which could be imbued with attack spells and fired 3 times per round. That's 3 Ballista shots every round that negated defense and also cast Implosion on the target after each one. Probably the most fun I had in Heroes, period. - Campaigns are decent, have a coherent story that keeps going through both expansions and ultimately ends in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. All cutscenes are fully voice acted and it was definitely the best campaign experience to me. Difficulty can be all over the place, but I loved it from start to finish. - Spells are overall much more balanced than in III where magic dominated no matter what. - Awesome music. - Great unit designs and town screens. Bad: - AI turns can take extremely long for whatever reason. It's mostly fine in the campaigns, but larger skirmish maps suffer from this a lot. - Occasional bugs. Some campaign missions still have a few bugs you might stumble into. Most notably, the first Sylvan mission, where an enemy hero you have to defeat to win won't arrive if you load a save in that mission. There is also a game freeze bug in the prologue Stronghold mission. But others can be easily worked around and are not that numerous. - The normal battlefield is a bit small in size. Fine in sieges. The next best thing after III. It took what worked in it and tried doing some new things that mostly worked out. Can't go wrong with this one if you liked III.
