Heroes of Might and Magic V (PC) (PC Games)

Wolf shines his armour and finds his old sword as he prepares to battle Ubisoft's Heroes of Might and Magic V.

This game proves that not all turn based strategy games are dull. HoM&M 5 is a solid contender for one of the better turn based strategy games and marks a return for the Heroes' series. With its solid gameplay and good interface it's a fun game.

Never before has magic required so much strategic thinking

Stands up graphically, but sadly it falls down in other vital areas.

Fantasy warmongering is rarely this good

Complexity borne from simple concepts ; True to the series ; Looks good

Hackneyed dialogue ; Camp (but in a nice way)

A heroic return to form

Still, I'm a sucker for the Heroes games, and I enjoyed Heroes VI more than I probably should have. The game has a nice look, the campaign is more thoughtful than you might expect (and references Heroes V more than you might remember), and the...

If you like building cities, destroying enemy armies, leveling up a hero, or conquering territories then Heroes of Might and Magic V is a must buy. The game is a decent recreation of its predecessors but it is far from what I had hoped it would be.
