Homm3 with expansions. 4 was rushed, and had a lot of possibly good ideas stillborn because of publisher going bankrupt. 5 had a lot of potential, but didn't have enough time for a quality review. 6? i have no idea, prolly really poo poo though.

Stick with 3.

Looks like they're keeping the town portal building, which is potentially a good omen regarding the weird logistics 3 had.

They also got rid of the inferno faction, which I actually think was probably a step in the right direction. gently caress inferno.

I liked the 3 version of town portal :( It was such a great system of "always take earth magic even on might heroes" and "build every town's mage guild to lvl 4 and swearing everytime you got loving counterstrike of all things".

Homm 5 was surprisingly campy fun.

Homm 2 was the best earlier one mainly because of vampire attack sound effect. I will wait patiently until I see evidence that Homm 7 surpasses 2 in this regard.

5 is fine (not so much the campaign) but it aged poorly visually and is annoyingly in certain ways like using squares instead of hexes

homm2's sprites hold up better than the 3d ones too in my nostologic opinion.

To see something really age poorly, the 4th one is hilarious with merging the awful 3D sprites from 3 with the comic-y animation style and tone from 2.

At least I vaguely remember them doing the vampire "blah" sound right.

Dragonfly's are REALLY good. Also for super secret lolz, use them on blessed terrain and you'll cast weakness on the whole opposing team when you attack.

Fortress was best when you capitalized on the high defense of the troops and got the hero that specialized in armorer and you just took half damage from everything essentially.

Goddammit this game better not suck, I can't handle another terrible heroes game. Its been 16 loving years since the last good one.

i really liked might and magic vii as a kid, that's the one where you start out on like an island and there's dragonfly monsters, right? i spent a lot of time just running around in that zone before actually continuing with the game

is heroes of might and magic like the same thing or is it a weird different remake

"Heroes of Might and Magic" or the new branding "Might and Magic: Heroes" which started with 6 is the turn based strategy line. Plain "Might and Magic" is the RPG line.

I like that one because you can kill the dragon, then use the corpse multiloot bug to deck your characters out in artifact weapons and armor. Pretty fun for a replay.

Might and Magic is not the same game as Heroes of Might and Magic, but they are in the same game universe, they are also both good series in their own way.

ahh okay. i got all excited cause i thought they were going to re-release the old Might and Magic games or something. i am not so big on turn-based strategy most of the time.

cool that these games still exist in some modern form tho, had a lot of fun with them with my brother when we were little, and i remember bugging the games a lot

The last M&M game was Legacy which was a old-school styled game resembling the pre-6 games. Like Grimrock. It was released a year ago.

You can buy all the older Might and Magic games from 1 to 9 off of Steam or GOG. No new re-release needed. No remakes though, and I wouldn't expect any at this point.
