Love this game. Love all Heroes and Disciples games. I come back from time to time to kill time.

Great game, but pretty much unplayable without the unofficial HoMM 7.5 patch. Doesn't solve all of the problems unfortunately, but it is a much better experience with it. The game reminds me of the great times playing HoMM 3 and 5. Definitely worth picking up during a sale.

After a very long adventure I've finished M&MH VII. And I enjoyed the time spent on that. A lot. A quick summary: - budget game of the series - many reused assets (music, unit models, skill icons) - extremely disappointing finale of base game's campaign - mostly forgettable characters and missions, boring storytelling (especially Dungeon's campaign is one of the worst stories I've ever seen in M&M) - tremendous amount of bugs - the worst audio quality and animations. Most of them are very unispired and lazy - and biggest - being no INFERNO... +/- average graphics +/- new town screens and town mechanics are up to the taste, I personally like them, it gives M&MH VII its own personality +/- M&MH VII follows similar formula as M&MH VI meaning, every unit matters. That creates a very slow-paced gameplay cuz tier ones can tank a lot and after having high lvl heroes, even 50 tier 7 units struggle to kill like 30 tier ones where in previous games, 50 Archangels can take on even thousands of tier 1 units. But it's also a + because no unit is a waste of space pretty much and it creates a beautiful teamwork in army. Thus, your strategy matters a whole bunch +/- opera music themes for town screens and adventure map. Definitely too much of opera and it's not good for the game but some of the tracks are an ABSOLUTE FIRE. Definitely can get you hooked in opera style. + units are no more filled with too many abilities unlike in M&MH VI + despite reused assets, many creatures are new and very unique and fun (ex. Grim Reapers, Sword Masters) + Emperor Ivan is a very likeable main protagonist + 7 resources like in games before M&MH VI, also those resources are quite interesting and fitting + many QoL changes compared to M&MH VI + 6 factions without DLC, 7 with DLC + an excellent DLC. So now about DLC: a) It adds very well done faction we know as Fortress (dwarfs) which is mostly balanced and fun to play as: + probably the best town screen of all towns in this game + AMAZING town music. + new unique units and rune mechanic b) Entirely new campaign with 8 missions, 6 are for Fortress and 2 are for Emperor Ivan (similar way as in base game): +/- 6 Fortess missions are very mid. Very forgettable but with very cool twists (Agrael makes an appearance!!!) and we meet some enjoyable characters + 2 final missions that are played as Emperor Ivan are quite nicely done which honestly surprised me cuz base game's last campaign was straight up awful. In the DLC many story holes got filled and some cool twists. Game heavily directs you towards HoM&M V soon starting its story which is a GREAT touch. + new neutrals units including Black Guards, a very sweet gimmick from Dark Messiah of Might & Magic! + adventure map music that comes with that DLC is probably the best in the entire game, hands down, it's so beautiful. CONCLUSION: M&MH VII did a good job for being so low budget. It's far from being perfect but it's pretty close to be a very good game. Like every game of the series, it has some major probelms but it does defend itself just fine. I didn't have too many frustrations with the game, mostly just some caused by bugs. As I said, I enjoyed it a lot. If you're chill singleplayer enjoyer, I definitely can recommend you the part VII. I play all HoM&M and M&MH and VII is perfect for warm and sweet evening game sessions with a coffee. FOR THE ELRATH, FOR THE EMPIRE! Bring peace to Ashan.

So far they are good :) . I have installed Heroes 7.5 Mode it is nice, but AI is soooooo cheating like a hell. The only issue that I have with this mode is that I do not see difference between Easy and Normal AI :) . They are cheating so much, They will usually create all town buildings even if there are not resources on the map, at least I cannot get to them easily, while my Easy AI friend build everything with some cheat help :) .
