Heroes of Might & Magic V: Tribes of the East

a age old classic game of strategy. I would highly recommend though the only problem with it its the severs are down but there is websits to help fix this issue though I wished i had other people to play this game 10/1000000 goblins turning rogue

Still holds up to this day!

It is a relaxing game as long as you stay on easy.

the last decent HoMM :(

best thing to come out of eastern europe

Game doesnt work on modern systems, recurrent crashes, cant play on maps large and above , no developer support for fix. shame

very g

In my case, it does not allow me to load saved games and I have been refused a refund. If you are going to charge for such an old game, the least you can do is guarantee that it will work.

HoMM V is decent, and more than that. At least compared to all its siblings (sequels and almost all prequels). However, no HoMM is as epic as HoMM III...

It's like if someone took a look at heroes 3 and was like "okay but what if this game was good and didn't have a half assed art style"

I have thousands of hours even if steam doesn't show them. Best entry in the series imho with HoMM 3 being a very close second. Amazing game 10/10.

wish it had mods for more factions but genuinely great game. been a returning player on different pcs for over ten years

homm 3 and this are pretty much the definitive homm games! i still remember spending christmas hot seating and enjoying playing with friends.

i

choose the undead and sit on your ass for a long time and you automatically win
too bad you can't tab out because the game needs you to experience every bit of bot progression

gg, would do nothing again

Good

A great classic! Old but Gold!

One of my best childhood's game, nothing else to say. The 3D Immersiveness was really well made.

10/10 would recommend everyone to try

very fun game to play with friends

One of the best games OAT in my opinion.

.

Still just as fun as I remember! Have to get a 3rd party thing to make a network, but it is awesome!

Totally fell in love with this installment just like I was for the base game. Now I want more.

This game is peak. If you haven’t played Tribes of the East, you’re missing out on the greatest gaming blessing of all time. Buy it

I personally don't enjoy these types of games, so I didn't find this fun. That said, for those who do enjoy grid-based/tactical RPGs, it's a good game.

it's objectively the best Version of Heroes of Might and Magic ..... since its the one i played at a kid and am used to.
Hot-Seat with Friends is always fun, provided i can trick them into playing it with me.

The foundation of future games.

Classic as it is. Replay potential: Eternity.

Might and Magic Heroes 5 isn’t just a game—it’s a time capsule. It’s a reminder of Saturday afternoons spent in front of a bulky monitor, sipping juice boxes, and dreaming of world domination (in a very PG way, of course). Revisiting it now is like reconnecting with an old friend: a little clunky, a little awkward, but still full of charm.

The story?
Yes, there’s a plot—something about demons, betrayal, and Queen Isabel making choices that would make even amateur strategists cringe—but let’s be real: it’s nothing special. Predictable twists, cardboard characters, and overwrought melodrama make it more “meh” than memorable.

The soundtrack?
Utterly unforgettable. Even now, hearing those soaring orchestral themes transports me back to long afternoons spent plotting my next move—or waiting impatiently for the AI to finish theirs.
(kudos to paul romero)

The gameplay?
A delightful cocktail of resource hoarding, army-building, and tactical battles where your genius strategy usually boiled down to “send the big guys first and hope for the best.”
Oh and dont forget Necropolis, by the mid to late game they will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of skeleton archers, hosting a skeleton apocalypse, and you wont be able to win againts it (atleast child me wasnt able to)
Of course, the AI wasn’t exactly the sharpest sword in the armory. Enemy heroes would bumble around the map like tourists without a guide, all while you plotted their doom with precision. And yet, there was something charming about the way they’d occasionally pull off a move so baffling it almost felt like genius.

So, go ahead—fire up Heroes 5, relive the magic and might of the game (pun intented),
Enjoy the nostalgia trip.

**Highly recommended to play with heroes 5.5 mod**

I remember playing this game with my dad back in 2010, it's just as good.

...

Arguably the best HOMM for my opinion ! So fun to play even after all those years !

nice

Childhood reminder

Childhood classic

very fun

ok

Nostalgic. Playing with Heroes 5.5 mod is recommended.

After you play a while game save files are corrupt.

Great game

Great classic in the series

now this, this is a bikini body

this, this is a game i think of when someone asks me about my childhood games
and hell yeah i'm proud of it

Last good Heroes. Recommended for all.

keeps crashing, idk why

Good addition for the base game, you're introduced to the new race "orc", which is literally a heavy hitters in melee combat.
This is equivalent to when Warcraft 3 got its expansion "Frozen Throne" and its better than the base game.

Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East
-----------------------------------------------------------
(reviewing both base and expantion)
a classic game with a modern twist. It’s got that same addictive turn-based strategy, where you control armies, build up your towns, and conquer everything on the map. The story is pretty epic too you start off with Queen Isabel trying to defend her kingdom, and then, plot twist, she ends up in a much darker path than expected. There are demons, betrayals, and undead armies. It’s like a medieval soap opera with swords and fireballs.

The expansion Tribes of the East is the cherry on top, wrapping up the story and introducing the Orcs these guys are all about brute strength and rage. It’s awesome watching them tear through enemies like it’s nothing. The story in Tribes of the East focuses on redemption, war, and a classic struggle between good and evil, but really, you’re here for the thrill of battle.

Honestly, HoMM 5 might be the last great Heroes of Might and Magic game. The later ones? Let’s just say they didn’t capture the magic. If you love strategy, fantasy, and a bit of chaos, this game is worth a play. Just remember: don’t let the AI rush your base, they’re relentless!

Enjoy the game!!!

Nice game.

Game is amazing but crashes when i play hot-seat. Dont buy it.
