To this day, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 represents one of the best remembered and most played titles from the 2D era of PC gaming and is regarded by many as a pinnacle of tactical 2D RPG games on PC. While the gameplay structure did not strive far away from its predecessors (managing the construction of the large cities who are crucial for the development of new offensive and defensive units, exploring a large overworld map filled with treasures and challenges, and a dedicated hex-based tactical battle screen where troop actions are performed in turns), Heroes of Might and Magic 3 managed to find universal acclaim due to its fun and balanced ruleset, pleasing visuals, enjoyable music, a large variety of races (all with their unique units and tactics) and multiplayer support.

Featuring seven single-player campaigns based on the characters and events of the popular Might and Magic franchise, this game quickly became one of the defining games of this franchise. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HD Edition is a restoration of the popular 2D turn-based strategy game and cult hit HOMM3 that was originally released to the public in 1999.
