The value story
Across all 58 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Mordheim: City of the Damned ($19.99, scores 30) outscores it, and so does Chaos Reborn ($9.99, scores 32). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What drives the score

What players say
Will never buy anything (on Steam or other services) which requires Ubisoft software or account. After replacing computer, nothing with Ubisoft Connect or with other Ubisoft bloatware works. Errors ranging from "unknown user name, please use recover" to "steam must be running" when Steam IS running, up to "unable to connect to Ubisoft"

game has lots of bugs and crashes. ironically the "tides of darkness" expansion causes a lighting glitch where the game will suddenly only display dark shadows making the game near unplayable. sometimes you can toggle between windowed mode and full screen mode to work around the bug but sometimes you can't. seems like some sort of compatibility bug with Windows 11 and it doesn't seem like the game developers have...
The only BIG issue is that is almost impossible to play the game in full screen, just windowed works, Steam please fix this Ubisoft mess, other than that is a HOMM game so its good.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
