HOMM 5 is better than 3 in many ways
I’ve been alternating between HOMM 3 and also HOMM 5, so the strengths and weaknesses of both are very fresh in my mind. Many reviews of HOMM 5 contain incorrect misinformation. They say the AI takes forever to perform its turn. But truly no, it does not. In actual fact, their turns complete in less than 5 – 10 seconds. The players complaining about this probably have defective hardware - but that’s not the game’s fault! Another common complaint is the “bad story” of HOMM 5. But at least HOMM 5 *actually has* a story! With HOMM 5, for each map of a campaign, you get a cutscene at the opening, and a ton more as you are going through the missions, and also a concluding cutscene to each map and campaign. Plus, all of them are voice-acted. Yet in contrast, HOMM 3 *barely* has any story at all. When you beat the end of any level, or even the final one of a long campaign in HOMM 3, you get absolutely nothing as a reward: no cutscene to conclude the story, and no text either to describe the (non-existent) ending of a campaign’s story. So the point is: whilst it’s true that HOMM 5’s story is generic, it’s untrue that HOMM 5’s story is somehow “worse” than HOMM 3’s. Really, HOMM 5’s story, imperfect as it is, it is still *infinitely* better when compared versus HOMM 3’s abysmal (non)“story.” As for gameplay, HOMM 5 is also better than 3 in many ways too. Heroes feel more special & engaging in HOMM 5 because you have options either to cast a spell, or physically to attack the enemy, or to cast a special unique ability. For example, the demon lord has a “Mark of Death” ability that lets you mark an enemy stack, which your hero will then automatically retaliate against whenever it damages any of your units. Contrast that with HOMM 3: your heroes can either cast a spell OR...wait a second, there is no “OR!” They have *no* options to participate in the battle *other than* to cast a spell, and none of the spells are unique to any hero in HOMM 3.
