Might and Magic Heroes 5 isn’t just a game—it’s a time capsule. It’s a reminder of Saturday afternoons spent in front of a bulky monitor, sipping juice boxes, and dreaming of world domination (in a very PG way, of course). Revisiting it now is like reconnecting with an old friend: a little clunky, a little awkward, but still full of charm. The story? Yes, there’s a plot—something about demons, betrayal, and Queen Isabel making choices that would make even amateur strategists cringe—but let’s be real: it’s nothing special. Predictable twists, cardboard characters, and overwrought melodrama make it more “meh” than memorable. The soundtrack? Utterly unforgettable. Even now, hearing those soaring orchestral themes transports me back to long afternoons spent plotting my next move—or waiting impatiently for the AI to finish theirs. (kudos to paul romero) The gameplay? A delightful cocktail of resource hoarding, army-building, and tactical battles where your genius strategy usually boiled down to “send the big guys first and hope for the best.” Oh and dont forget Necropolis, by the mid to late game they will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of skeleton archers, hosting a skeleton apocalypse, and you wont be able to win againts it (atleast child me wasnt able to) Of course, the AI wasn’t exactly the sharpest sword in the armory. Enemy heroes would bumble around the map like tourists without a guide, all while you plotted their doom with precision. And yet, there was something charming about the way they’d occasionally pull off a move so baffling it almost felt like genius. So, go ahead—fire up Heroes 5, relive the magic and might of the game (pun intented), Enjoy the nostalgia trip. **Highly recommended to play with heroes 5.5 mod**

HOMM V is the only video game I ever bought a collector's edition for, on retail. It remains the star of my collection after all these years. I don't know why I bought the Steam version, but I don't play it anymore. I still play the retail version with a couple of mods. Such a beautiful, picturesque, fairy-tale like art style. The best I have ever seen. In my opinion, it's better than even the Lord of the Rings. Fantastic, deep, immersive gameplay. A massive and difficult campaign; it will really test your strategizing skills. Amazing graphics for the time and they still hold up. Deep and complex game mechanics, but without feeling overbearing. I don't really get into the lore and story of video games much, but this one it's so nostalgically innocent that I can't help it. I would pay 200$ for a remaster of this one. The new HOMM "Olden Era" looks like a mobile game - total trash. The future is not looking good for this franchise. But it's ok, as HOMMV is my favorite strategy game ever and I'll gladly play it forever if nothing better comes along. It still holds up splendidly.

The best and last good entry in the HOMM series. Shoutout to random difficulty spikes in the Orc campaign.

My favorite childhood game. Even if the graphics are outdated at this point I still think the charm and the gusto of the designs and the animations is plain to see. A very fun game with a reasonable amount of depth and strategy to it on top of the inspired fantasy world and the incredible soundtrack. Here's hoping Olden Era manages to live up to the name of this and HoMM3. Highly recommended that you play this with the 5.5 mod which adds a big mix of QoL and balance\bug fix changes. If I am not mistaken it is also the only way to play through all of the 3 campaigns in one game.
