UbiSoft Ubisoft Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate (PC)

By darrinannette (pcworld.com) Read the full review

Please realize this is the expansion and requires basic Heroes of Might and Magic V to work!If you like Heroes of Might and Magic V this is worth buying. Adds random map and one town type. Kind of spendy for one new town, but random map is worth having.

have enjoyed the game but have found it to be a little repetitive. the older versions are not really playable on a modern computer, but the kids think its funny how old fashioned the game is. But the 5th game is fun especially the last expansion...

"A classic saga for a decent price."

By Andrew (mightyape.co.nz) Read the full review

After playing Heroes 3 as a kid and loving it I decided to try the rest after seeing this compilation coming out. Played through each a little and like them all (some more than others). Only issue is having to use the CD to play each campaign.

Considering the rabid fan following and the long wait, it's not a surprise that Heroes of Might and Magic V was picked apart by certain members of the hardcore fan base. It was criticized in more than a few quarters for a dull campaign, some glitches...

A series of patches helped a lot, though, and the game looked on its way to being one of the best in the history of the franchise. Now, however, the series takes another step sideways with Hammers of Fate. Like the original game on launch day, this...

The sound of something fatefully ho-hum banging

Creature caravans ; The random map generator ; Surly rune-slinging dwarves

Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate

By William Abner (gamespy.com)

It's a bit pricey at $30, but Hammers of Fate is a solid, if unspectacular, addition to the HoMM franchise.

Fortress units are cool; a lot more content than the original; random map generator; improved multiplayer

Terribly weak campaign; a bit pricey at $30; a few annoying bugs
