    Sadly this game is shockingly badly designed, unstable and doesn't live up to even low expectations, probably even worse than Heroes 6. Constant disruptive CTD crashes, many glitches, imbalanced, dull humdrum gameplay loop with no "just one more turn" feeling, very few maps, most artwork is copy and pasted in from the previous game. AI is again braindead and slower than ever before.Sadly this game is shockingly badly designed, unstable and doesn't live up to even low expectations, probably even worse than Heroes 6.

This game is a failed apology edition Heroes thrown together on the cheap by bargain basement developers, undercooked and cutting corners everywhere. No new innovations to the series, brings nothing to the table -- everything it sets out to do was already done so much better by its predecessors, go download those on GOG and forget this trainwreck!… Expand

    Good game. Needs some patched but certainly a step in the right direction compared to heroes 6. Don't let the people with nostalgia goggles influence.

    Yes, the graphics is little bit outdated and overall budget is low. But they spent this budget very wisely. Campaign mode is great. Interesting storytelling and very beautiful maps with lots of triggers and scripts. Never had so much of it in previous games. Core mechanics is very clever. Every faction has its own strategy and game style. Town development and hero leveling are very interesting and unique. Much better than H6 and even H5. And above all this game has quite simple map and mod editor.
    I'm enjoying playing it. Give it a try!    … Expand

    - Too expensive.
    - Combat could be repetitive, but I always had this opinion since heroes V

    Best game in the series. Long time HOMM players will have a great time. Has all the elements that make Heroes III good and more. Level up system is better with more choices and not just random, building system is improved, and the cover and flanking system go a long way in improving strategy in battles so no two battles are ever the same.

    There is some room for improvement though. Balance fixes, magic is still too powerful. a burst of chain lighting turns the tide each and everytime. And the cutscenes are awful! Story is great but cutscenes are just screenshots with dialogue in the background. Could've made it more artistic rather than just taking screenshots and placing dialogue on top. Graphics feels uninspired but All in all, a great game for HOMM veterans    … Expand

The music in-between turns is a bit strange, it felt a little bit like circus music, too happy and not dramatic enough. I like the 3D towns in HoMM V, a bit disappointed they didn't bring it back.

I played "Something Irreversible" as the first campaign mission and in almost every fight against a hero AI, in easy mode, my army gets completely destroyed before I even have a chance to make a move. The balance in this game seems completely out of whack, as if all the play testing was done by people who were expert players in every previous game in the series over the last 20 years. However, I do not see how even the best player could win a battle when almost their entire army gets destroyed before they can make a move.… Expand

    One of the best Heroes I have ever played. If you are a fan of the series this is exactly what you should get. Going back to the roots of 3 and 5 and improving it without destroying what actual made the game good in the first place. Beautiful artworks and towns compelling story and interesting combat :). 9 out of 10 would buy again (-1 for the need of Uplay).

    Hero leveling is also done very nicely, and the way you can level them up differs a lot... whether you go for exploration, economy, battle, magic, morale, destiny, etc. You can try to prioritize high morale, and extra mobility, or you can go for normal attack and defense...

At least make it better than the units running either directly at you or doing some weird "staying out of melee-range" movements while they are being attacked by ranged units only. These are basic AI,-issues which can be fixed relatively easy. I don't expect it to have in-depth militairy tactics, but come-on... This is not even an AI, this is just following procedure.

    In addition, the release-version has quite a few bugs. While I expected as much from a Ubisoft released game, it is still bad to see them not improving this crap. I am happy I got a pirated version, since I cannot stand uplay and will never ever install it on my PC, not even if I can play games for free. This prevented some issues for me, which legit used actually have.

    Nontheless, the game plays solid and has a lot of variety between units and factions. Combat is fun on harder difficulties (less steamrolling) and the campaign plays nice. If the release wasn't this buggy the game would have been an 8, but Ubisoft is greedy as always.    … Expand

It is clear that no one put any heart into developing this game. All they're looking for is a quick cash grab. After this 7th try, I will never purchase another heroes game, though I highly doubt they will get a chance to make another one after this sorry development.

    - no "video" intros, just static pictures (back to 90`s)
    - Heroes 6 looks better, more colorful
    - Hero leveling: after 20 min game-play, both heroes reached max lvl or the map. The mission took me 2-3 hour to finish.....

All positive reviews are surely payed ads here, do not be fooled (the key reason, why I have registered here). Heroes 6 was nice but easy for a HOMM fan. This one? There is not a single positive characteristic of the game I can bring up. Simply put: it looks ugly, plays slow and boring. Instead of playing this game, I have restarted Heroes 5 with my son. "Epic failure" - is the right phrase. I hope the sales will be low and Ubisoft will sell the franchise to someone decent, so it could get back to its former level.… Expand

    Thankfully, the game is largely bug-free, and it runs on a wide variety of computers with little problem.

    I liked many new features and I think going back to the roots of the series was a the right decision. Unfortunately it seems the game was published half a year too soon, as it’s underdeveloped, full of bugs (some of which are very serious) and has performance issues. To put it simply – Heroes VII was botched. [12/2015, p.34]

    Might & Magic Heroes VII tries to appeal to the passionate audience of the series, but fails due to issues with the AI, several bugs and a general lack of elegance. We can only hope in a future patch that fixes the many technical problems, still unsolved after 1.2 version.
