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.

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 Even if the graphics are outdated at this point I still think the charm and the gusto of the designs and the animations is plain to see.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.

Well well. Pretty good title, condiering it's age, it runs perfectly on Windows 10. (even alt-tab works) found cheats for cheat engine (if that's your cup of tea) Thanks for the comments' recommendation to not get the base game but the expansion.

The game is an absolute blast, despite it being quite dated. Just look up my gaming hours. I could have built myself a house, but chose to create dozens (hundreds/thousands...?) of fantasy towns instead. I guess this is one of my best choices in life. I consider this installment of HoMM the best, with HoMM VII not far behind (I have a huge sentiment for HoMM III, but recently only play its WoG version as the original seems to be a bit bare bones by today's standards). Awesome for a hotseat mode with your loved ones!

Loved this game as a kid! The graphics are very cool and the music is nice! I hope they remaster or remake this game sometime in the future tho that is very unlikely to happen.
