Five to be Alive

Heroes V is a turn-based strategy game, within the "board game-esk" franchise, known for strategic planning and mathematical calculations. If you have played any of the franchise, original, second third forth, sixth seventh? - There's no surprises, it is at its core "the same game". However, its like Grand Theft Auto - Its the same missions, different intro, ending and layout. but its the same game at heart, with the same formula. Heroes V I wont compare in this review to prior games, as someone who went from 3 and 4 to 5, but not really playing the games extensively. I found myself picking this up on sale, for 5 pounds. After I found myself rather enjoying how powerful you could become in Heroes 3 - heroes 4 I vaguely touched, so V no really surprises. The campaign exists, Probably "not worth" going through it. (I do intend to go through at some point myself) the Skirmish is where the game proper shines. VS the a.i. and other players, great - However the a.i. is slow, they take a few seconds to calculate their moves in full and when you have 4 or more players in a match, the times between your moves can seem to really drag. More so within this game. However - the game looks quite nice for a game released over a decade ago - And despite its age and how poor the a.i. speed can be, the game is "well optimized" I have tried running it on my "gaming rig" (cheap I may add) Runs like trying to cook food in an oven, Not on an open fire. Tried running it on a NON gaming laptop - Runs very well, some hiccups, and with the graphics turned back. Still great frame rates. Should you be thinking "I might not be able to run this" because X, Y and Z. - As long as you really have a moderate computer that vaguely matches the specs on the store page? You can run it. I had a early 2000s computer, XP, slow 60gb hard-drive. 64mb graphics card. Ran just as well as a computer with a 100+ quid graphics card, in a computer built last year. I would recommend without questions.

A good game, an awful implementation

It's a very good design, reminescent of HOMM3 and it has all the good stuff you would expect. However, the technical implementation of the game is abysmal. And not even a modern PC is enough to brute force through that. A state of the art 2023 PC will still net you 3-5 frames per second when zooming out in certain areas, despite the GPU and CPU remaining almost unused. Frame rates in many parts are not only dropping but unplaybly low, going sub 10 fps. This was the case back at release and it's still the case now.

As good as HMM3

This game has almost all the mechanics of the III instalment, but with updated graphics and sound. The original campaign is not very good, I didn't like the characters and the plot almost all the time, and the world the story takes place has changed to a generic and very shallow dragon gods stuff. But HMM, for me, was all about playing a single game at a time, learning the strategies with each different faction and conquering the map. The GOG version gives you the basic game and two expansions, each adding a faction, maps and a extra campaign. There is a random map generator too, I use it a lot! The factions are similar to what you may be used to, with some exceptions: dungeon is now a dark elf faction (ugh! :P), the barbarians now are an orc faction (but you still have goblins and the cyclops), the "nature" factions is now an elf faction (this one didn't changed very much) and there is no "swamp" fortress again (sad, I know). There is now a dwarf faction, that get the name "fortress", but it has nothing to do with with the first. The dwarves are my favourite faction in HMM5 (and Thanes ARE GIANTS! Giants don't need to look like humans in a dwarven faction, so give me a break!). I think that if you like HMM3, there is no way you will dislike HMM5. If you are like me, for the price GOG is asking, you get almost infinite playing time! So buy it and be happy forever! Or... be happy until you die :D

Not just good as Heroes3 or Disciples2.

This Game is worth of your time if you like TBS, but have some flaws: 1) Engine is not optimized enough to run on old computer. I have i4670 + GTX760+8GB RAM and in my FHD Display sometimes I get less that 60 fps. 2) Some mission have still bugs that prevent us from accomplish it, for example tray finish first mission in campaigning Sylvan. I must use cheat codes to finish this, because you can't cross the border but Biara appears and stand on empire territory (out of you range). 3) All Mission from HoF is dull and too quick - you don't have time to accomplish level cap your main hero.

A solid Heroes of MM game

First game released by Ubisoft since acquiring the Heroes of MM Franchise. Its has a nice campaign and story arc, well made factions, good visuals (for its time) and decent gameplay. You also get here both expansions which add a couple more factions. The tactical map felt simplified compared to the last 2 titles, but its still quite a fun game and you will get your moneys worth here for sure.
