Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Complete

When my mom bought me this game when i was 5 years old back in the year 2000 i never thought i'd still be playing this game for almost every other week for 23 years!?! But the game is really that good so even after 23 years of playing i still haven't gotten tired of it. So with that said do yourself a favor and buy the game you won't regret it!

You're already looking at this page because you know how good this game was.

If you have seen this one on steam. Dont get it 1: Not DRM Free 2: The HD version isnt so good, the grid looks off in battle. And the overall changes arent that good. Overall this GOG that comes from original PC CD version of this game is the best version hands down! Fun multiplayer with friends and a overall interesting campaign. The best game in the series and one of the best games ever made!

It should be an acknowledged scientific fact that there's nothing more addictive than a good turn-based strategy game. It's just so easy to go "just one more turn" even if you already know beforehand that it's never going to be just one. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 isn't just a good game, it's a really really great one. I bought the game to see if all my fond memories from playing the game years ago were just rose-tinted nostalgia, and I can happily say that that was not the case. HoMM3 really hasn't aged a day in the ten years since it's release. The detailed graphics still look gorgeous and the interface, while not as streamlined as in many recent strategy games, is easy to use and all the needed information can be found in just a few clicks. The game is pretty easy to get into, but mastering the use of all the different units and skills available to the heroes can take ages, so the game doesn't get boring or repetitive. The nine (eight without the Armageddon's blade expansion) different towns are very well balanced with slightly different leanings towards combat (might) or magic, and they all have their share of awe-inspiring (and deadly) creatures. Best of all, HoMM3 is just incredibly fun to play. The mechanics are simple enough, so the game is just as fast-paced as the player wants. If you want to spend a long time perfecting your turns and choosing just the right equipment for your heroes, you can do so. If you want to just dive into the action, train some Black Dragons and show your enemies who's boss. Despite it's seeming simplicity HoMM3 can be played in many different ways, and finding your own is a big part of the fun. I find HoMM3 to be the best in the series, though it's really similar to HoMM2. But like a good sequel should, it has more monsters, more buildings, more spells and more challenges. And it's just impossible to stop playing. There's always that one castle to conquer, that one dragon to kill, that one artifact to find, that one kingdom to save. Highly recommended.

The game is so fun. With HD mod (which is kind of obligatory) it easily beats HoMM5, another good game from the series. It's not that story-driven like the fifth game, but it's not a big problem in a turn-based strategy game. My only problem with the game is, that the King's Bounty series have quite a similar combat system, which works much, much better (and is less exploitable). The rest is just an honest 9/10. Very recommended.
