Heroes of Might and Magic®

I was browsing through GoG today, as I am want to do when it is early in the morning and I'm relaxing with a copy of coffee, when it hits me - not only does GoG happen to have the very first of the Heroes series, I've never bothered picking it up for my computer! And, ladies and gentlemen? That's no good. Nostalgia filters can make older games seem better than they actually are, but that isn't the case with the very first Heroes of Might and Magic. Following in the footsteps of it's predecessor, King's Bounty - which is another excellent game, both past and present - you take control of one of your heroes, and set out to do battle! Although unrefined, without some of the features that fans of the series find compelling - such as events/story maps, and only four hero-types - Heroes I is a classic. The game is fun, the component of having a certain number of each spell makes spell management more interesting and knowledge a more useful stat, and the graphics and sounds are - to me - the most beautiful they have ever been in the series, with only Heroes II running a close second. So give it a try - I guarantee you'll find hours passing by playing just one... more... turn... :) Just don't attack ghosts without Turn Undead!

This game is timeless but simple. It's also timeless *because* it's simple. There really isn't much to it. You own your fort, you build a building, it generates units, recruit those units and go conquer until there is nothing left to conquer. Unlike the RPGs, this one doesn't have any complex mechanics that require reading the manual, or studying it online like some ancient relic. It's a perfectly playable, simple version of the HOMM franchise/genre.

very good strategy game, the fantasy setting is a bonus, its easy to play but can be hard to master, once you get into it though you'll enjoy it

This is beginning of my gaming adventure....

I Spent hours playing this game growing up and now still play it to this day. HOMM 1 is my favorite of the HOMM series and has a great price for digital format instead of buying the CD that used to crash a lot. This GoG HOMM 1 you can play for hours and works great without always crashing. like the old CD version. Much more enjoyable gameplay.
