V is for Valor, Vigor, VVizardry, and Virtuous Victory

Heroes of Might and Magic V Bundle, which includes both of the game’s expansions (Hammer of Fate and Tribes of the East), is a glorious return to classic fantasy turn-based strategy that every HoMM-fan will love and is now available on GOG.com--for a limited time!--buy one, get one free with Assassin’s Creed Director’s Cut for a total of $19.99.

This is one of the two new “Premium Edition” games that GOG.com is offering; they are a slightly higher price--but they come packed with value and we’re encouraging you to try them out with this buy one, get one free promotion that’s running until 12 April at 4.59 PM GMT.

Rumors of the fifth part of the famous series created by a new developer under the wings of a new publisher caused quite a stir among die-hard fans of Angles, Dragons, and Titans. Luckily, the developers made sure that the old concepts which made the series successful in the first place were maintained. Heroes of Might and Magic V returns to familiar territory; the charm of the classic game is omnipresent, the gameplay is addictive, and the execution is splendid.

We return to well-known world of HoMM in control of Haven, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Sylvan, Academy, Fortress, or Stronghold. The game features a completely new scenario, arguably the most interesting in the series, along with new spells, new units and new creatures skills. The towns now look majestic and grand in full 3D, the units move and attack beautifully, huge spells convey a sense of massively destructive power, and the combat is great fun to play and crafted to perfection; even tiny details like splashing water on the shore are apparent in the game. The music adapts to the situation perfectly, and sound is filled with the little touches that show the care the developers lavished on this game, touches like shouts of joy, screams of death, and the sadistic laughter of demons.

Heroes of Might and Magic V is surely the version you’ve been waiting for a long time, and it’s finally here on GOG.com with more than 170 minutes of soundtracks, an official artbook, wallpapers, avatars, design sketches, and more. Its full price is $19.99, but pick it up for a limited time together with Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut Edition on a special introductory buy one, get one free sale!
My hat goes off to GOG, I waited a long time for this game to be released here

It's a fantastic game, especially with the expansions

Let me say to everyone: If you like HOMM at least slightly, BUY THIS! This game is just as good as HOMM III, if not better

Great extras as well

Well, if MoO3 is here, then we have a place fof HoMM V too, I suppose.

Pass.
low rated
3rd
As a german gamer (and reader of the mag "GameStar"), I received HoMM V and both expansions for free - as a promo - just two weeks ago.

So, sorry GOG - but no purchase from me today.
Great all of HOMM in one place. :)
Since it's going to be released here too, will Asscreed 1 be DRM-free?

That's not even a comparison. Master of Orion 3 spits on a lot of the stuff that made Master of Orion 2 great and is an entirely different game. I don't understand how people can dislike Heroes V so much when it cribs so deliberately from Heroes III, to the point where I didn't think it was that great until the second expansion where they added alternate upgrades.
HOMM5 had a few issues with Graphics (Map would blank out and texxtures would dissapear)

Just wondered if these are fixed for latest Nvidia cards and ati cards ?

Brilliant release and a great double offer - thanks GOG
So, is this game any good?
Instabought!

But 20 bucks is too much for it, the only reason I bought this because I got Assassin's Creed too for this money.
I enjoyed this game, buying soon.

It is. It's more user-friendly than 3 by offering tooltips for expected results of a given strike and keeping track of monster retaliations for you while offering a novel approach to turn-based sequence (namely: a creature doesn't act once per turn but once every initiative-based value).
The AI could have been better but as long as you accept it for what it is, in all its scripted and "cheating" goodness, it can be a very enjoyable game... Assuming, of course, the series or TBSes in general are your "thing".
I already own assassin's creed so I don't get much from the 2-for-1 deal, so is this game worth 20$ alone?

They are indeed. Though I've never played any of the other games in this series.
Thanks for the response.
