Heroes of Might & Magic 5 Reviews
The creatures and heroes have definitely received a major upgrade. The only criticism I have for the multi-player maps when playing against AI is the lengthy time it takes between turns. This is the best installment yet, and if there is another one in the works I doubt it will top this one. This is just what I hoped they would have come out with. You are supposed to be leaving a review for the game based on the game, not your computer. There is no clear order for which a hero and his/her creatures attack. For those of you who complain "It didn't work on my computer, it lags in graphics" deal with it.
When I first heard that Heroes V was coming out, I was a little skeptical. If you don't want to jump into the campaign, you can always jump into the multi-player maps. Also the turns for which creatures can attack jump around often. This game is a must buy. Overall this game will keep you interested and entertained for hours and hours at a time. Not only is this a plus, but the battles are also very fun due to the new battle system.
When it comes to the battles, they are much more exciting visually and strategically.
Not only is it in full 3D, but the scenery of the the towns is AMAZING compared to anything fans have seen before. The only problem I found with the battles was during a siege a hero can attack a creature even if there are walls, which doesn't make sense.
Anyways, the storyline is detailed and about the same length as previous installments. They got back to the basics of the third installment, and just made it so much better.
By a new computer, and stop whining. It's very easy to really get into.
I would recommend downloading all the patches from Ubisoft before you play the game, which fixes a lot of minor bugs and things. The third installment was so much fun, but the fourth was so disappointing.
I have been a big fan of all the Heroes games. The graphics actually look worse then the previous games. The towns look poor as well. The creatures are less detailed and look more cartoon like.
I don't see any improvements in this new version. I only see a big disappointment. I was really hoping for better graphics and it almost looks like a lot of detail was lost in making this a "3D" game.
I came in at II, LOVED III and thought there were some good improvements with IV.And then came V.
Overall, I hate the game.
I have a big problem about creatures that aren't proportionate.
For one there is no autosave which was great with the others.
If the other Heroes had played like this I would have never have liked them and I've been playing them for 10 years.
As a HUGE fan of Heroes I, II, III and even IV, Heroes V came as a big disapointment to me.
The game had great graphics with the factions but I wasn't too thrilled about the creature graphics.
There were also very few maps; hardly enough maps to put out on a game.
I know this is fantasy but come on.
It's ridiculous to have arms and legs that are twice as large as you torso or hands that are bigger than your body.
Version 5 stays true to the franchise. It has always been one of my favorite games. I'm a long-time fan of HOMM, having thoroughly played all 4 prior versions. I still recommend it, but want others to be forewarned. As other reviewers noted, it builds off of 3 more than 4, but it definitely adds new elements and higher strategic complication to give it parallels to 4. My computer meets the requirements, but the wait time for game saves and loads can be pretty tedious and prolongs and interrupts the time spent playing the game. The 3D graphics are very cool, but the new system demands can be frustrating.
Haven), great combat screens, in general the graphics is great. Great sound/music. I started with heroes 2, played a lot heroes 3 + shadow of death, played a lot heroes 4 despite the memory leaks and crashes. me:.
Lack of caravans mean you spend a lot of time micromanaging your secondary heroes to funnel troops to the front line and hitting resource-giving-out places. Game crashes after play for several hours, happened to me several times (my installation is fully patched). No random map generator. story is ok.
gameplay is mostly like heroes 3. What's bad:. New 3D graphics engine, camera controls allowing zoom in, angle change, really COOL town screens (esp. lack of replay value, campaign map 5x6 = 30 maps, plus 6 custom maps.
demanding on hardware, otherwise graphics gets laggy, most notably on the last Sylvan campaign map. Interesting new skill/secondary skill system. What's good:. What's ok:.
