About

Heroes of Might & Magic V is a tactical turn-based strategy and a fifth part of the series and the first installment to utilize the 3D graphics.

Gameplay

The gameplay centers around The Heroes who are powerful leaders helping different fractions, forming guilds and fighting alongside with weaker characters against The Heroes of the opposing division.
The player controls the growth of his character — he may distribute the experience points between the abilities on the skill tree thus gaining new ultimate powers or racial skills. The core feature to the skills in the game is that every walkthrough forms a unique mix of race, skills and development issues embodied in The Hero.
There are six fractions to the game: Haven, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Sylvan, and Academy. The title feature one DLC and one standalone add-on content. They add two more fractions to the game: Fortress and Stronghold.

Plot

The gameplay depicted in the fifth part of the IP continues the line set in the third and the fourth chapters, the narrative, however, does not share such succession. None of The Heroes were transported into the new title with the adventures set in Ashan — the world created by Asha.
The story follows a line of tragic events during the battle between Asha and Urgash in which the former suffered collisions and merged with The Moon.

Heroes of Might and Magic V reviews and comments

Super game
«Time-tested»

One of the best turn-by-turn strategy. Only failure to close the game servers. Two superb extensions the latest being in itself closer to a new game thanks to the richness of its content

Great Turn-based strategy game, good history and very epic music. Hours and hours that fly by. For me the best was the IV and the III and then goes this the V. Live the Heroes of Migth and Magic

I Come from Heroes III and personally I have not liked anything, yes it has the essence of Heroes but not the one I remembered, personally I do not recommend. Maybe The most understood people in the matter yes, there you are.

The best Part after HoMM 3! -Can I recommend. Deer newer Games HoMM 7 etc. all degrade quite heavily and are simply cluttered and too crowded. Meanwhile I also find Clash of Heroes awesome for casual gaming!

Game, in some Places quite hard so that you could bite your Teeth out but ei is possible good Game. Unfortunately, there is no Card Editor. The Original had at least one. Well, you just can't have it all

Excellent jeu de tactique, un délice a jouer encore et encore! Je conseil plus fortement l'expension Tribes of the East! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great tactics game, a game you will want to play again et again! Don't forget to check the expension named Tribes of the East!

The recommendation depends on your expectations. Gameplay: interesting, good tactical strategy, good customization of heroes. History, cutscenes and dialogues: lol superscript lol. So bad it's funny. Verdict: If you play only for strategy, a solid 7.5/10 If you play for stories and ambiance, hoping to regain the writing quality of HOMM4, a low 3/10
