Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition

 
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is becoming a board gameNov 9, 2022 - PCGamesNIf you're a PC gamer of a certain age, you've likely got fond memories of playing the classic strategy game series Heroes of Might and Magic, which arguably peaked with Heroes of Might and Magic 3. A Polish company plans to recapture that nostalgia for the tabletop, and is gearing up to create an officially licensed Heroes of Might and Magic 3: The Board Game in a couple short weeks.

Heroes of Might and Magic III is my favourite strategy game for many reasons, but the most important one is that it helped me learn English. Strategy games are tough, but playing a strategy game when you can't understand any of the words in the tutorial, menu, or UI? That's extremely difficult. This might seem like a relatively simple genre to understand without translation as there's rarely a story to follow, but guesswork and intuition can only get you so far. You can figure out the basics of most gameplay systems, build neat bases, and even win some battles, but it rarely prepares you for the full experience, especially if you try to go online.

It got its gameplay inspiration from what is now considered the forerunner for the whole HoMM series, 1990's King's Bounty - another turn-based game developed by the same company. In the year it was released, the game achieved high marks all around, going as far as almost winning the best strategy game of the year. Following the same style as its predecessors, the game is all about collecting resources, developing your centre, creating an army full of fantastical creatures and capturing other towns. The game received two expansions - 1999's Armageddon's Blade & 2000's Shadow of Death - which added more campaigns and a ninth faction to choose from. Over the years, there's been endless arguments over which HoMM game is the best in the franchise. Although opinions regarding older games can be heavily influenced by nostalgia, many arguments can be made that the third instalment is the best and most important of them.
