魔法门之英雄无敌3：完整版

This is absolute gem of a game. Played for first time over 20 years ago and just recently bought another copy to play over again. The game have got great story, the music is awesome, even the hand drawn 2D graphic looks ok. The Heroes of Might and Magic saga and Might and Magic saga are very much intertwined and the story that runs throught the games is interesting and very well written. The only complain of mine is that 3DO did not follow on their planned story line and didn't add the "evil" mechanised city in Shadow of Death expansion and give us Flux instead. This is probably down to HoMM always being considered high fantasy game rather than fantasy/sci-fi mix as M&M. Anyway, overall game is great and well worth givin it a chance.

这游戏并不是我的童年，尽管从小到大经常听人说英雄无敌3是很好的游戏，但我小时候对RTS更感兴趣，对回合制策略完全不感冒。最近趁着折扣在GOG上买了英雄无敌全套，算是系统地补习了这个经典之作。目前玩过3，4，5代之后，觉得还是3代最棒，动画音乐UI虽然已经是世纪初怀旧风，但是非常典雅，经常会让我联想起国际象棋之类的棋牌类，再加上游戏占用系统资源不多却系统内容丰富可玩性高，算得上真正的优质老游戏。打上HD+ mod后全屏画面也很细致，回合制的游戏方式即使工作摸鱼时也能来上一盘，属于轻松上手但是兼具策略深度的作品。游戏里采集资源、升级建筑、造兵开打、学习魔法、升级英雄、收集宝物这一系列流程可以说和RTS更相近（应该算是RTS的前身吧），比起4X游戏来说则更加侧重爽快，战斗时颇有老式骰子桌游的趣味，可以说是桌面游戏电子化这个经典思路的呈现，和CRPG一样很有那个时代的印记

Along with all the other great reviews here is another. This game has Quality and Quantity when it comes to Replay ability and Visuals for it's time and now. I've yet to find a game that's as addicting and provides as much content as HoMM 3 does. For current lovers of the series who already know of In The Wake of Gods. I recommend checking out this Fan-Made expansion that's being made called Horn of The Abyss. ;) It's currently only in the Russian Language but, and English Translation is being Made. -- www(DOT)hota(DOT)acidcave(DOT)net Along with that check out VCMI WoG Recreated which is basically going to be WoG with even more content better support. An well you can check it out yourself. ;) - forum(DOT)vcmi(DOT)eu/portal(DOT)php

Play this game before you die.

I won't buy GoG HoMM 3 for the simple reason that I am a lucky owner of one of the original limited edition HoMM Collection box, however if you haven't got your hands on this game I can only recommend you to grab it right now. HoMM 3 is a timeless favorite when it comes to turn based strategy games. To this day no contender has been able to hold its own against this game, including its own successors HoMM 4 to 6. HoMM3 still remains THE masterpiece and you could say it has almost not aged: - the campaigns are lengthy and challenging - the many factions (8) are rather balanced and offer a variety of gameplays that can suit all player preferences (yet Rampart forever !) - the RPG elements (heroes class, talents and artifacts) are well thought and bring a good deal of strategic options (although I can think of 2-3 heroes talents and spells that are clearly better) - maps are well designed and shows a great deal of attention to lots of tiny details - the graphics are lush and still gorgeous so many years later - the soundtrack will send chills down your spine - turn by turn game. RTS will never beat this when it comes to carefully planning and executing your strategy I can't count the number of hours I spent and still spend in this game, and the maybe even greater number of hours I spent switching place if front of the computer and fighting over heated games in hot seat mode back in the time with family.
