Top 10 Best Heroes of Might and Magic Games
The Heroes of Might and Magic series is one of the most beloved strategy game franchises ever made, offering hours of adventure, tactical combat, and exploration. Each entry brings its own unique blend of challenges, stories, and mechanics, leaving fans with heated debates about which games truly stand out as the best in the series.
Released in 1999, this turn-based strategy game became a critical and commercial success with refined mechanics and deep gameplay. It introduced new factions, campaigns, and enhanced multiplayer modes. The game I played for the longest period of time. Utter and complete addiction!
There is no debate about it. Heroes III is the best game on the planet.
Simply the best!
From the sublime to the ridiculous is just one step.
Est modus in rebus!
Developed by Nival Interactive, this 2006 entry marked the series' transition to fully 3D graphics. It retained the classic turn-based gameplay while adding innovations like dynamic camera angles. Amazing game with a beautiful world and a charming story. I love the beauty of the cities.
It's a copy of Heroes III but with better graphics and slightly worse gameplay.
The balance between graphics and variety is the best in the series.
This 2002 installment featured significant gameplay changes, including the ability for heroes to actively participate in combat. The game introduced a new graphical style and a story-driven campaign structure. This is my favorite Heroes game because it has very strong RPG elements. That's the only reason. Both III and V are better in terms of strategy, though.
Heroes should have actual abilities and fight in combat. IV brought us that.
Great improvements to the magic system. I love the way heroes work.
Released in 1996, this sequel built upon its predecessor with additional factions, units, and campaigns. It featured an expanded storyline and improved visuals and gameplay balance. Fantastic game with unbalanced, classic gameplay.
Classic Slugfest is such a great map to play on.
Launched in 2011, this game was developed by Black Hole Entertainment and served as a prequel to earlier titles. It introduced a new reputation system and a streamlined resource model.
Released in 2015 by Limbic Entertainment, this game continued the tradition of strategic turn-based gameplay. It introduced customizable skill wheels and six playable factions. It's too short, with too little to do. Otherwise, it's a really good installment.
Not the best one, but a fine rehabilitation after the M&MH VI fiasco.
This 2007 standalone expansion introduced the Orc faction and a variety of new units and abilities. It provided a conclusion to the storyline of Heroes of Might and Magic V. Best game from the Heroes of Might and Magic V series.
I played this when it came out. Nostalgia 10/10.
This 2006 expansion added the Dwarven faction, new campaigns, and a random map generator. It expanded the lore and content of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

A series of eight standalone campaigns released between 2000 and 2001, focusing on simplified gameplay. Each game followed a linear narrative featuring a recurring protagonist.
Released in 1999, this expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic III added a new faction, the Conflux, along with new campaigns and artifacts. It also introduced a random map generator. Great expansion. It lets you play characters who were non-playable in the original version.
