That made the game much more interesting since upgrading your units was a vital part. Upgraded units were really getting improved statistically unlike in heroes3 where many of them had a minor improvement.

Perks with prereqs was a really nice thing and deserved to be studied and expanded further. The skills were made in an interesting way.You were able to choose a skill which gave you subcategories of this skill that leveling up was really enjoyable and profitable. The thing is, when you can't have a clear overview of the map you can tell they messed up here. Yeah, if you can make abstraction of how 3D creates readabilty problems, the lore, factions lineups and art direction going horny teenagers instead of true myth.

Unfortunately, usually negative stuff overshadows the positive and those things posted above literally ruined my gaming experience. It's very difficult to advance in higher difficulties unless you know exactly what you are doing. Structures in Heroes 5 are extremely expensive both in resources and gold. And that doesn't only apply to upgrades but even to for the main building. You have to battle for each one of them and even in that case there are not that many.

Every map has barely any free resources to pick up. Seriously I feel like Heroes 5 maps are empty. Well yes, but provided that the map offers you plenty resources to gather. What did I say above? That upgrading units should require a proper amount of resources instead of being cheap for no reason. Take a look for example how all the units are perfectly clear in Heroes 3 in comparison with Heroes5Ĥ. The game doesn't really allow you to 'enjoy' the units. When battling there's a major flaw for me. You literally have to rotate for every move you make.ģ. But where I am really loosing my patience is with the Underground part. You constantly have to rotate the camera to gather resources because the current view you have prevents you from clicking to them. Yes, the 3d design was quite beautiful but let's face it, it's annoying. It practically makes the game unplayable unless you have a lot of patience and time to spare.Ģ. Even on some campaigns where the AI was not moving at all you just had to wait for 5seconds at least. From the very first turn AI is taking too long. Seriously, only this is enough to quit the game. So, just by the building requirements you could understand that the unit is getting stronger a lot.Ħ.Fly by camera in towns and zoom in combat were also some nice stuff along with many others.ġ.

Also, upgrading creature structures usually required a proper amount of resources to represent their power even on low tires unlike again in heroes3 where most of the upgrades were made by paying 5 wood and ore. That made the game much more interesting since upgrading your units was a vital part.ĥ. The skills were made in an interesting way.You were able to choose a skill which gave you subcategories of this skill that leveling up was really enjoyable and profitable.Ĥ. Whether you liked it or not, I think it was nice to zoom and rotate around the big variety of creatures Heroes5 had to offer.ģ. Technology advances so sooner or later we would see a Heroes game in 3d. It was based on Heroes3 and it expanded there.Ģ. I think HOMM5 shares a lot of elements with Heroes 3 for Heroes5 to be considered that it didn't head in the wrong way. In this topic I just wanted to state my opinion about the game, things that I liked and things that I disliked. Although I didn't like many of them I quite enjoyed playing HOMM5 overall to say that HOMM5 is a good successor to the Heroes series. I recently completed the campaigns of all 3 games (HOMM5, ToE, HoF). after a long time I decided to buy and play Heroes5.
