Yes it's that old. Almost 22 years after release, HoMM3 remains one of the best strategy games. There's really no point in writing a review for this. If you're an old fan, get it, get the HD+ mod, and immerse yourselves once again. If you're a strategy fan and have never played this, then... WTF?!

I find it rather frustrating that so many reviews here scarcely discuss the gameplay they're so eagerly praising, so the bulk of this review is going to be spent outlining the particulars of Heroes of Might and Magic III. Heroes III is a turn-based strategy game with some RPG elements thrown into the mix. You have heroes, leaders which you use to explore the world map and gather resources. Resources are used to develop your towns and recruit units. Your heroes can take those units and lead them as an army to wipe out threats on the map. Sounds simple, right? But your opponent is doing the same. Your ultimate goal is to kill all the other players' heroes and take their towns by force. Gameplay is largely turn-based: on your turn you move your heroes across the map, gathering resources and exploring landmarks, all in order to gain more units for your fight against the opposing heroes. As they win fights, a level up system is employed to improve stats, much the same as any standard RPG. Speaking of units, let's talk about combat. When a hero with an army of units runs across another hero, or a stray mob on the map, combat ensues. You and your opponent take turns moving units across a hex grid and attacking until one of you runs out of units. This is where the statistical advantage from leveling up comes into play, granting you advantages in spellcasting or damage dealt. There are different types of combat based on your situation, but the basics remain the same. Graphically, Heroes III gets the job done with nice textures and interfaces that keep with the game's theme. Some of the map styles are a bit distracting, but always look good. Meanwhile the game boasts some pleasant, if subtle, music tracks that suit it well. They're not anything special, but you're scarcely going to be focused on them anyway. Heroes III's appeal comes from its strategy and replay value: the campaigns are great, but the real fun comes in trying to best your friends in a long, drawn out war on the map. It's not a game for folks who dislike strategy gaming, but it's among the best for those that do.

honesty first: until now, i have never played HOMM3. now, after 13 years of not picking it up i finally did. and it's a blast. to be honest, i think it's actually the perfect time to start playing this game because in the current state of the gaming industry, not having to solely mash [insert random button] to progress couldn't be more refreshing. and that's over a decade after its release. this is a game you actually have to LEARN by playing it. it has deep, complex mechanics, full of tactical finesse and it is harshly unforgiving. in a good way. plus, for me as a seasoned gamer (yes, it's been over 20 years now that i touched my first C64/amiga/NES etc.) this brings back memories of what i used to love about games. the richness. the worlds you could get lost in for ages. not because of shiny graphics, cutting edge CGI, motion/speech control and all that. but because it featured well developed gameplay that made you coming back. come back to learn. comeback to beat its mechanics. not beat its x-button. however, for me this game actually has shiny graphics. thank you gog. i will be playing this one for the next 13 years, making up the lost time since its release.

I love playing, I love building up my base and armies and collecting items and buffs on my heroes, and the music and graphics are memorable and classic That being said, I hate this game, it's hard, it's incredibly difficult and time consuming and unforgiving and my brain cannot seem to grasp it well enough to win any medium+ difficulty map, so why do I keep playing? I want so bad to win, I've tried replaying the same maps hundreds of times, tried using guides, my wife left me, the kids have stopped calling, bills are piling up, I have a strange rash working its way up my leg, I'm worried that if I neglect it too long it might reach my heart and kill me, but I'm still trading blows with a max CPU Necropolis and I won't move until one of us dies.
