Might & Magic: Heroes VII Critic Reviews

Fight, level up, explore, conquer, build. Even after 20 years this still manages to glue you to the screen. Incredible.

Overall if you’ve enjoyed the Might and Magic Heroes games before then you won’t be disappointed, if you’ve only tried Kings Bounty before then I’d suggest jumping into Heroes VII it will seem familiar but also a little more “real” in style.

Might & Magic Heroes VII is probably the best entry in the series since the original trilogy, an experience that understands what makes the series great and delivers slightly updated takes on the core mechanics without any revolutionary features.

Gameplay-wise, Might & Magic Heroes VII is arguably the "best of the series" game its developers set out to create. However, the experience is marred by inexcusably sluggish performance at times (even in high-end systems equipped with SSDs), and also by the rather uninspiring generic fantasy setting of Ashan, that still can't measure up to the majesty that is the "original" setting of the Might and Magic universe.

Classic old-school turn-based tactics with modern visuals. It doesn’t set new standards, but keeps you entertained for hours with its attention to detail and proven formula.

The seventh episode of the legendary turn-based strategy did combine a modern sixth episode with a traditional third one with ease, and yet remained compact and fully functional strategy game for everyone.

Limbic Entertainment has listened to its fans, and this is the game we've been asking for. It's an episode inspired by the franchise's roots, so if you played the classics, you know what to expect.

It's a game dedicated to fans of the saga, and the lack of a tutorial speaks for itself. On the other hand, in a single box, you'll find all the traditional gameplay of the Might and Magic Heroes brand.

All in all, Heroes of Might and Magic VII is a solid addition to the series.

Might & Magic Heroes VII isn't the best entry in the series, but it's a solid strategic game.

If you're a veteran of the HoMM series and want more, you should consider buying Heroes VII (but remember about many issues plaguing this game at the moment). In case you haven't played the fifth or sixth installment, forget about the new game and pursue the older ones - they're cheaper and offer a very similar experience.

It does nothing to innovate the series, going back to its roots and eliminating most of the changes made with heroes VI. It's good, with a long campaign and the usual beloved gameplay of old, but it has no courage. None at all.

Heroes 7 has a number of problems that completely ruin the experience.

Might & Magic Heroes VII offers well told story and a potentially solid turn based experience but is still unfinished.

If you’re a die-hard Might & Magic Heroes fan, this addition to your collection is probably justified for the skirmishing alone, but it does little to tread new ground. If you’ve always wondered about breaking into the series, one of the classics would be a better choice.

A game that's a better homage than a new iteration on a franchise that has been around for 20 years. Unpolished but still fun, only the most hardcore fans of the series could fully enjoy the proposal.

Might & Magic Heroes VII is an okay game overall, but seems like it’s more for existing fans of the series and doesn’t cater to new comers at all.

Once more the third chapter of the long-standing series remained unsurpassed, despite its promising outset. It doesn’t take long for the campaign to reveal its weak structure and for the player to realize that the game exhibits a tedious army development system which slows the action to a crawl.

More a service to existing fans than a new game in the series, Heroes VII is a huge game that entertains but fails to overwhelm.

The seventh episode is dragged down by all sorts of bugs and flawed 3D visuals, but problems can not overshadow the very successful campaigns - both the story and the gameplay. Heroes VII might be the best game since HoMaM III – but still the king sits firmly on his throne.
