Heroes of Might and Magic series is the best game ever. period. Nothing more to say. I have spent countless ages enchanted in the dpeth of the beautiful game and I played all its iterations, from Kings Bounty to the Tribes of the East. It is linked up deep within my soul.
To think of it, when I first bought Heroes of Might and Magic III: Restoration of Erathia and fired it up in my pc -I was not impressed. What is this carotgrapher type of game?! So I uninstalled it and left the disk to rot in a corner of my room. After six months, when there was no new games to play, I decided to give it another spin…and then I was mesmerized. The enchantment was complete with breathtaking graphics, the maps were dazzling and full of adventure and legendary creatures -and the battles were spectacular to say the least. The game never left the confines of my hard disk and I began my quest of ogling up any Heroes title I could find.
Now in the end of its fifth iteration, at the hand of a new producer and developer (Ubisoft and Nival Interactive), I am sure my beloved series future is bright indeed. The HOMM V set up a high bar of 
turn-base strategy games which other venerable titles like Age of Wonders, Disciples and Warlords (is it still alive?) will be hard pressed to meet. The interactivity with the gameworld and the players have increased due to fluid 3d animations and gorgeous visual effects. The gameplay remains the same at core with innovations that were required to increase the depth of the game to even a greater degree. I would put it up nearly on par with HOMM III (the best of the series, imho). The latest expansion pack Tribes of the East (HOMM V: ToTE) is the best version of the fifth installment. With alternative unit upgrades, it has changed the strategic layer of the game. One gripe I have is that the alternative levels renders some units totally useless.
I would and do recommend Heroes of might and Magic to any person looking for a fun, indepth, engrossing strategy game with roleplaying elements. It simply cannot get any better than this. However, I do hope they beat event his standard in Heroes of Might and Magic VI. Long live Heroes. As tuned in by Megadeth -Heroes never die -
