This is the best version of HoMM 3 currently available! Unlike the "HD" edition, this one includes both expansions and most importantly - a random map generator! I cannot stress the importance of the map generator enough. Hundreds of gameplay hours guaranteed. What I am talking about - it's actually thousands of gameplay hours! It's a fantasy Turn-based Strategy game with some RPG elements (the titular "heroes" gain levels, skills and perks that help their army"). The graphics are made in cartoony style, so they surprisingly hold up even today, much like "Monkey Island" does with its cartoony style. The overworld map is made to resemble a board game playfield, which is also quite nice. The music is awesome, and the gameplay - thrilling. Only downside is that the game does not support modern HD resolutions. Luckily, there's a mod for that, now hosted even on the Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/heroesofmightandmagiciii/mods/3. Apart for modern resolutions support, it also offer online multiplayer. Awesome! However, if you're like me, you will enjoy gathering up with friends, buying some beers and playing a hotseat match, where all players take turn on the same machine (and drink beer while waiting for their turn). Five stars! It is one of my favorite games of all time.
