2019 - How is it now?

[Abaddon]

I remember this game came out with a lot of problems, would take hours fiddling to make it work and such. Looks like a cool HOMM game with 7 factions, the talent ring, I understand a lot of units per faction, same flair as HOMM 5 (my favorite, sorry to disappoint but 3 comes second) and I understand it has a lot of units per faction as usual.

I'd like to know from those who are currently playing it if the issues are fixed. Now that multiplayer is probably dead (or almost) I'm not sure it 10€ for the game is worth to play a few matches, I want the game to run smoothly.

Right now I'm playing. Till now I had one game breaking bug which I had to pass with ingame cheat. I could say game feels complete... Also I dont understand the negative reviews. I had played nearly all MM and this one's story is better then the others.

I'm doing my best to fix the issues as it's my favourite game ;)

It's definitely in a much more stable state and perfectly playable if all you do is single play, hotseat, or campaigns. Multiplayer is is somewhat playable but has many out of sync and connection issues. You need to make sure you have a fast connection/NAT before attempting.

Ah well I got it on the sale, complete edition for 12€ and I think it was a good decision. This game would have been awesome with 2-3 more expansions at least, but of course that wouldn't happen with the crapload of bugs present on day 1.

I find it funny that companies prefer to ship faster than later even if bugs are present, and then the quality of the product is so bad that they get shunned, and nobody buys the product. Happened the same to Dawn of War 3, I really don't understand why they keep killing unborn games.

Can anyone help me fix my Uplay?

Just finished Haven and Academy campaign. Amazing game. Going to keep going.

Online multiplayer has sync problems (with the other parties). While playing Necromancer my resurrected minions would not sync with my friend - it kept giving both of us an error message saying: "### out of sync ###', every time we moved our heroes. You could still play the game so that is not deadly.

Online multiplayer also had a second problem, the game got stuck on computers turn - the AI will not end their turn.

Academy and Haven campaign 10/10. Online multiplayer 1/10 in the one game I played so far.

I am playing singleplay only. I have hardly encountered any technical problems and enjoy the game very much. The sale price is well worth buying. I don't know or have any interest in multiplayer.

The AI ​​in this game doesn't seem so clever, but I don't want a human-like AI for this game. Single play is enough if it gives catharsis to defeat the enemy.

Please pay attention to the PC requirements before purchasing. Players who do not meet the required specifications may be one of the causes of negative reviews.

It is broken for multiplayer, hot seat will work.

I can hardly wait for the new Hero skills. I've begged for it for a while now ;p

[Bobzzo]

I've bought the game on Ubi sale during last christmas (it happend 1-2 days before the Steam one, sorry not going to spend money twice) and I've found the game is awesome.
I guess the rough start was the reason for all the negative reviews but 4 years later the game is great and so far I haven't seen any game breaking bugs.

It's awesome for some casual playing here and there alongside with the good old HMM V :)

Update:

Single player 10/10: Academy, Stronghold, Haven, Dungeon campaigns completed. Necro in progress.

Multiplayer: 8/10 for Academy, Dungeon, Haven, Sylvan.

Multiplayer: 1/10 for Necromancy. NECRO DOES NOT WORK IN ONLINE MULTIPLAYER, the Necromancer raise dead ability after a fight makes the gamed out of sync for all players.

game playus well for me so far no issues

How is it now? I'm mixed on it in large part because it is incomplete. There are two big factors that detract an otherwise very good game.

There are two factions missing. Inferno was in 5 and 6. Sanctuary in 6 only.

Additionally, the custom map making tool is clunky and difficult to work with.

A third detractor for many is the online multiplayer. We just do hot seat and it works quite well. But for other people, the multiplayer is problematic.

Stories in campaigns and in a few of the solo maps are some of the best in the history of the franchise. The 7 factions are quite good and enjoyable to play.
