Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia

Original cult classic turn-based strategy. This legendary game was released in 1999.
Here already after 18 years "HOMM" does not lose its popularity among the players.

Disclaimer
This review is based on my opinion and experience of the game. This does not mean that you, the reader, should share a glance with me or have the same game experience.

What changed
At-first, it's just high-definition version of original HOMM III The Restoration of Erathia. There are no other changes in gameplay or set of castles, heroes or units. Yeah, with old good seven campaings about Katerina the Griffin's Queen, Dungeons and Demons, etc. But you will get nice picture only if you played up to Full HD resolution. If you want to play on larger resolution you will see small combat window in world map or something else :)
Also, there is a good advantage that game released in steam. Game have Steam achievements, community, etc.

My review is based on may year of play (almost all time of game existence)

Details for each item

  • Gameplay
    This is old good gameplay. But in this version of game there is very stupid AI. In another words the bots do almost nothing (in any difficult). So, I strongly advise if you want to play this game, would be better to find some friend in Steam to play together.
  • Sound and music
    Perfect thematic soundtracks and other envirements sounds.
  • Graphic
    4/5 only for not good enough implement for lerger then FullHD resolution.
  • Plot
    Sandro, Queen Catherine and others. We all know well this company :) So, if you are new one in this game series better to go to wiki or other resourses. Just believe this game (and all series) have quite the lore.
  • Cost and releases
    Many people are outraged at the price of this game and no one more releases for this game series like Armageddon's Blade and The Shadow of Death. Well, I hope that we will see these expansion packs in Steam with new HD graphic soon as possible.
