    Works well and looks nice, but shows its age. I was addicted to this game when it came out originally, but now its just too simple to keep me hooked. Far easier than i remember.

    Remake of best turn base strategy games in history.
    Unfortunatelly major flaw is a lack of DLC's... I know that developer have no acces to source codes of both DLC's but still ... price should be adequate, not a almost full price on premiere.

    I'm glad they enhanced the original version of my favorite game ever, but if the HotA crew (a handful of guys in Russia) can make a brilliant exciting seamless expansion, then big ol' Ubisoft can remaster the old expansions. But seriously, if anybody here hasn't played Horn of the Abyss yet, google it yesterday.

    I admit, nostalgia took the best of me and I bought the game. The first two weeks were interesting and fun to play, but then came a boredom. Of course, Heroes 3 is a great game, but it got its greatness thanks to two additions. It's been three years, but Ubisoft hasn't released them yet.

    I dont get people who gave this game 0-4/10 because Heroes III is in itself perfect! I played it for the first time 9 or 10 years ago and I remembered it as amazing experience. I spent a lot of time just because I wanted to upgrade my castle, fight or just explore big and open world. Soundtrack was awesome too. But now let's talk about HD version. It is not as good as it could be. Why?I dont get people who gave this game 0-4/10 because Heroes III is in itself perfect!

You could buy first version of HOMM3+all DLC for lower price. I really dont know why Ubi dont give us DLC (oh ok, they said that they lost source code, but only for Shadow of Death so they could give us Armageddon's Blade). I would give HOMM3 HD higher note but only if it will be cheaper. It should cost something about 8-9.99 USD.… Expand

    It's still a great game don't get me wrong, BUT the hd edition is just high price for less content than original.

    The same old good game that we remember, but it could have been even better with the two expansions that were released and a better price or better graphics.

    This is mostly an unnecessary remake of the fantasy strategy classic. The improvements are minor in the graphics and nonexistent elsewhere, except for the multiplayer mode through Steam and the tablet versions, which might be the game's biggest selling point. The game itself is still gold - PC gamers should just consider if the old Ultimate Edition bundle, with expansion packages already included, is a better investment. [March 2015]

    The game itself is wonderful, still one of the best PC titles, but the HD Edition is very disappointing. Redrawing the game in higher resolution is not enough, especially that expansions are not included and program’s stability leaves much to be desired. [03/2014, p.60]
