Heroes 3: HD Edition
Release Date: January 29, 2015
A remastered edition of one of the most well-received installments of the legendary Heroes of Might & Magic series, created for the 15th anniversary of the game's original release and the 20th anniversary of the franchise. It was commissioned by Ubisoft and developed by DotEmu, known e.g. from the remake of the cult platform game Another World.
Heroes of Might & Magic III: HD Edition is a remastered release of one of the most popular turn-based strategy games of all time by New World Computing. The re-edition was developed by a French studio, DotEmu, which was commissioned by Ubisoft. The aim of this was to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series and 15th anniversary of its third installment. HD Edition was released on PCs and mobile devices with Android and iOS.
Gameplay wise, HD Edition is practically identical to the original. We still explore magical lands, control heroes leading entire armies into battle, gather resources, collect artifacts, learn spells, develop our skills, and – first and foremost – conquer and expand cities to win over the enemy. The remastered version only includes Heroes of Might & Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia without the Armageddon’s Blade and The Shadow of Death expansions, therefore we have 7 campaigns, skirmish mode and a map editor. There is still the multiplayer mode with both hotseat and Steam-supported online play.
The only visible and pretty cosmetic change is the visual side of the game. The game supports higher resolutions and introduces sharper textures so the overall visual experience is better.

Game Ratings for Heroes of Might & Magic III: HD Edition Video Game.
PC Gamer: 71 / 100 by Richard Cobbett
A great game, unimpressively updated. Get the bigger, cheaper version instead.
GameZone: 7.5 / 10 by Andrew Clouther
Targeted to those looking to dig up nostalgia from the past, fans will be 100% satisfied with this HD recreation. Those looking to get into this franchise may want to start with a game made in this decade.
Attack of the Fanboy: 2.5 / 5
It is hard to recommend Heroes of Might & Magic 3 HD Edition. If you played this game, and you liked it, 15 years ago when it first came out, you might get a bit of nostalgia from this version. But without the expansions bundled in and practically no changes, there exist better alternatives on the market for you to spend your money on.
