   1. It's a game from Ubisoft without Uplay. Perfect!

   Why all the love for this being playable on an Ipad? This is specifically, and bannered quite clearly as a review of the PC version of theWhy all the love for this being playable on an Ipad? This is specifically, and bannered quite clearly as a review of the PC version of the game. It's not even as if you get the Ipad version free if you buy the PC version, they are completely different products. The choice is simple. You can buy this, less than half a game with some HD sprites that look marginally better (marginally). OR go to GoG get the whole game, all expansions, random map generator, fan patches that work with it - and free maps - for less than half the price. That works perfectly well and silky smooth on all operating systems (Win 98 through to Windows 10). Why you would spend twice the money on less than half the game? Who knows. It gets a couple of marks for the base game being as good as it always was. Ubi didn't cock that up - but why they bothered for PC players is beyond me when a much superior and much cheaper version is already available.… Expand

   UbiSoft trying to cash in on a much beloved game, after they did their best to rape the much beloved franchise.
   Sprites are worse than theUbiSoft trying to cash in on a much beloved game, after they did their best to rape the much beloved franchise.
   Sprites are worse than the original, doesn't come with the expansion packs, the developers of the original game don't see a cent from this.
   It's quite clear Ubisoft just gave some stupid interns the job to redraw some sprites and fix up the netcode to work with steam and thought they could make a quick buck by dragging the hallowed name of HoMM through the mud.… Expand

   Only 15 years old game, that actually was downgraded to beta-version:
   
   - Only 7 Restoration of Erathia (RoE) campaigns available, while 6Only 15 years old game, that actually was downgraded to beta-version:
   
   - Only 7 Restoration of Erathia (RoE) campaigns available, while 6 from Armageddons Blade, 7 from Shadow of Death and 8 from Chronicles are missing
   - No random map generator, thus no replayability and as extension - no competitive games
   - Map editor in RoE lacks critical functionality, like dwellings linked to certain town, so when town is picked, dwelling of selected level and according faction will be spawned
   - No compatibility with all content since 2000 besides some RoE fan made maps - no HotA/WoG/Era and other mods, no AB/SoD maps, no fanmade bugfixes
   - HD edition is missing gameplay mechanics like revisiting objects without moving, moats, permanent border gates and many more
   - No promised steam lobby - steamworks just acts like VPN/Hamachi and you are still forced to use ingame lobby
   - Incredible amount of bugs in addition to old ones from original game
   - Huge performance problems (fps, mouse cursor lag)
   - Graphics became actually worse - blurry, more saturated with sharp edges. Materials are not recognizable anymore, everything looks like plastic. Animations, looks like lost half of frames. Missing graphical details, like flying dragons over cliffs or faceless pikemen. Most of creature's icons / sprites now contain anatomical and perspective mistakes.
   - Cheats works in multiplayer
   - Absolutely no improvements in the game balance / mechanics / UI / AI… Expand
