Heroes® of Might & Magic® III - HD Edition

great game but dont buy it on steam. this edition of the game does not have any of the expansions instead buy it on GOG. its cheaper and come with all the expansions and is the versions that all the best mods are made for.

I bought this game when it originally came out and played it for years. My son who also used to play it told me that it was on Steam so I purchased it and have been playing during all of my free time. Love this game.

The game is great, but this version does NOT have the DLCs Shadow of Death or Armageddon's Blade
This means: No Conflux faction. Random maps, Artifact Merging, Multiple campaigns and maps, aswell as some units like the Azure Dragon.

i HIGHLY recommend you to buy the "Complete" version on GoG. with the HD mod, you can get a better playing experience, with better HD graphics. more replayability, community maps, and other mods such as HoTA, (Horn of The Abyss) that are MADE by the original developers, and not a Ubisoft, upscaled Cash Grab.

i have more then 3000 hours in the old version outside of steam..
played it for years.

its the same classic fantasy strategy TBS.. but with kind of reword for the graphics.
its looking nice for game that is close to 30 years old :)

i know in GOG you can buy it with all the expansions and add mods, but for me the expansion are less important, i didnt like conflox faction and HD mod isnt that great like the graphics update.

so as classic its great game, as remaster its OK. lets say its worth the money.
hope to see olden bring back the charm heroes had in past.. give some fight to AOW4 :)

I love this game and love the fact that new version of this same game is coming cant wait to play it

Absolute classic. I grew up with this perfect turnbased game. The HD edition brings it to this century & We still love it.

The download misses some of the final upgrades from the original DLC (including the elemental kingdom), but is great for the price for some solid hours of nostalgia.

If they did full version with expansions my grade would be 10/10 but only the base game.... It's a pitty really

I like very much - why no Shadow of Death DLC? Best campaign ever and you lost the code. GG guys, be careful next time.

To quote straight from the game description itself:

"Enjoy the critically acclaimed Heroes® III gameplay, with 7 exciting campaign scenarios "

No. There isn't. There are only the main three. If this were an indy dev or even small-mid sized publishing house they'd be hung for such misleading - blatantly false - advertising.

They should have done a the HD for the complete version. But nontheless, it is still worth it if you can get it on sale for 4 USD. It runs smooth and it supports ultrawide ratios.

GoG version is better but decent enough if you really wanna just see the game with redone graphics and when its on sale its a good price too

It is Heroes 3 what did you expect it is the best even but I wish it was the completed version!
Steam give us Heroes of Might and magic 3 - complete

1. Crash bug. Sometimes game crash / freeze for no reasons. Unacceptable for a 20 years old game.
2. No whatsoever life improving changes such as "Revisiting while stand still".
3. No expansion.

The only plus side is the re-touch image quality is pretty nice. But you wont notice the different when you are focusing on the gameplay most of the time. Overall a pretty bad experience, I only play for the image retouch but still... If its not on sale, dont buy it. Unless the dev somehow update the game, I wont give it a thump up.

Old school game that is a comfort to come back to time and time again. Easy to play, and the strategy is as complicated as you make it.

Nice restoration of the old classic. Still plays good, have decent amount of content*. Not a very complex strategy so it's easy to pick up by everyone. Music is great. Highly recommended.

*Steam version is missing some extra campaigns

I played this game in 1999 and until today I find awesome. This game aged very well and the other generation will probably like it.

DONT BUY THE STEAM VERSION!

The Steam version only has the Restoration of Erathia content (aka no Conflux, no combo artifacts, no extra campaigns beyond the original 6) and it cannot be modded.
Get the version of Heroes 3 on GoG. That version will have all Restoration of Erathia, Armageddon’s Blade, and Shadow of Death content and it can be modded with the fan-made Horn of the Abyss expansion, HD mod and many more.

The game literally doesn't start. When troubleshooting online, it says to use compatibility mode, but then it says there are files missing. It doesn't work

A great and old favorite turn-based strategy game! It's a shame that this version doesn't support all the great community expansions, but otherwise, this is really great!

An absolute gem of a sequel, out of all the HoMM nr 3 still hits the hardest in the entire series (So far...here´s hoping for older era....)

Dont buy. I get nostalgia and all but this almost unplayable. It has not changes to make it more pleasant to play, it has no dlc no patch nothing. Its like playing a game in alpha but from 1999. Try homm 5 instead, better graphics and everything homm 3 has homm5 will do it better. Trust. Dont buy this trash!

This new made HD version just doesnt keep up to the old version.
In siege fights most moats just doesnt work, no random map creater, a lot of missing maps from the pre choices, a lot of mechanics just doesnt work the way they are supposed too.

Better buy the old version or the fanmade new ones.

The nostalgia of playing this game when it was new attracted me back to the game in 2025.

It has significant challenge and replayability but it does suffer from being a bit of a drawn out grind as you level multiple heroes across the map. Town management and resources are simple, but external farms have to be visited resulting in a bit of a tedious situation.

Just play the HD mod made by the community, it's way better.

I love animation, strategy and tactick. All of them are in Heroes.

Its been about 13 hours I played this games, at first it really makes my nostalgic era been amazing, but then I found the bug on game when I have to re-visit the object like windmill etc. It really annoying, especially when in the combat situations. Cant find the fix issue on the forum/community. May be i just want to refund

Played this as a kid and relived the memories again still the same game just updated graphics

Unfortunately i realized way to late that this is not the complete version of the game and it's not worth it to pay more than other sites just to play the game in HD but missing the expension.
It's honestly a great game tho!

Great turn-based strat game with a medieval fantasy flavor.

I earnestly hope that the two expansions can get the same love this did. As advertised: It is the core vanilla game only, but if you're a major fan of the old days, here it is. Sometimes you love something so much you can play it again and again, and I know I do.

I bought this before i knew about complete edition on GOG.

Honestly the only positive thing i can say about this is that it reminds me of my childhood where my family owned Restoration of Erathia, while the afterschool i went to had the Complete edition. So i would get a small taste of the "good shit" at afterschool only to go home and be frustrated that i couldn't play Conflux.
......actually scratch that, this is more like negative nostalgia.

Anyway, don't give Ubisoft your money. Especially not for this cash-grab rush-job piece of hot garbage.

Frankly i want my money back.

We all know this is a classic and an epic game so yea it is not bad to buy when on discount, but lets all face it, it is better to get the og complete collection and get the hd mod. An then u have some great mods, like the Horn of the Abyss and In the Wake of Gods

What a banger. This is always playable in between, solo, local multiplayer, online multiplayer, random scenarios, campaigns, you name it. Played as a child and will always be installed.

The game is great. But the HD Edition is crap with bugs and unfulfilled promises
Do buy this game

One of my all time favorites (: So much fun to have an HD version! A lot of reading, thinking and planning, so if you like it more challenging and exciting I would totally recommend.

This is my favorite game of all time! No problems playing on Steam. I wish somebody would revive it for other gaming systems and platforms, but for now Steam works great.

Now I do not know how many hours we have played this back in the 90's, but this game taught me the basic principles or relativity and strategy. My brother and I, or me and my besties would spend days playing a scenario, trading, backstabbing or ganging up on each other. So with tinted glasses of nostalgia this is 10/10. Now objectively it is still 10/10, visually crisp, great sound effects, enchanting creatures, soundtrack that is easily the most powerful mood setter and management that is still one of the best turn based combat simulators to date. Yes there are some balancing issues (flight, teleportation, city portal and chain lightning) which can exploited, but even they can be overcome with grit and white-knuckling. Overall this game deserves its place in hall of heroes of gaming.
P.S you could not pay me to play as Stronghold.

Heroes® of Might & Magic® III - HD Edition brings back many cherished memories. This was *the* game of my youth, and diving back into it with updated graphics is like reuniting with an old friend who looks even better than you remember.

The gameplay is as magical as ever—exploring the map, planning your strategies, and building your perfect army is just as thrilling now as it was back then. Every turn feels like a little puzzle, and I still get that same rush when I finally capture a key town or outsmart an opponent in battle.

The updated visuals are a nice touch. Seeing the towns and units in high definition made me appreciate how much detail the original game had. It’s not a complete remake, but it’s faithful to the charm and spirit of the classic, and that’s what matters most to me.

Sure, it doesn’t include the expansions, and I wish it did, but even the base game has so much to offer. Whether you’re revisiting it like me or trying it for the first time, there’s a reason this game is a legend in the strategy genre.

Heroes III will always hold a special place in my heart, and this HD edition has made the nostalgia even sweeter.

Everyone who has this game it's because it was part of your childhood. Great turn-based board game, one of the bests. It is a game you want to have in your library just for collection.

The game itself as many others write is not the Complete edition avaiable on GoG for less cash. The game stutters strangely and moats don't work whatsoever in this version. Experienced a few crashes. A lot of hotkeys are also missing. Just get the other one.

Pure classic. Old school art work and nice balance. The pinnacle of the series. HoM&M II is great as well.

Abandonware. The game stops loading a map halfway in later W11 patches and there is no solution. Just buy the original complete edition on GOG and use the available HD mod.

I hope Ubisoft implodes already. Free HOMM from this decrepit company.

This game lacks a lot of extra things you can find in other places online. The expansions are not present as well as some other QoL changes. The graphics are better and smoother, but not worth it.

I don't care that it doesn't have the expansions, graphics are so beautiful in this HD Edition that you get really immersed in the game. These graphics are amazing and in perfect style of the original game, a really great remaster with achievements.

It's craschig like mad. Restartig PC, loading again and chrasch after few minutes/secounds.
I can't play becouse of it.
Also You cant update it with HOTA mod, witch sole crashing problem.
Useles copy of best game in the world :(

It was my first part to play in all the HoMM series. And many say it's the best one. But I can speak only for this third HD Edition version of the original game. I loved it. I'm not really interested in turn-based games, but this one could capture me and hold for over 100 hours. Long story short, I recommend playing the game, to discover a classic in case you've not played it yet, remember the good old days if you have. I don't regret the time I've spent here and don't exclude the chance I'll download it again in the future (maybe near one).

The best fantasy game. Childhood game, worth coming back to. Iconic soundtrack and game design.

Rename your heroes 3 complete (best version) with hd mod folder to Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition delete original folder in steamapps then copy paste to it. Change name of HD EXE (Heroes 3 HD) from HD Mod launcher to HOMM3.2.0 Now you will be able to launch it from Steam as well as trace your time played. FUCK UBISOFT!

this game rocks but i wish the DLCs were included. Buy the complete game on GOG its cheaper and has more content
