The verdict
A flawed but playable Heroes entry with a good skill wheel and long campaigns. Skip it if you can't tolerate the Ubisoft launcher, bugs and launch failures on modern PCs.
Great for
Heroes series fans who want a deep skill wheel and long campaigns, ideally bought on sale with the community patch
Main risk
The game may not launch at all because of the Ubisoft Connect requirement, and bugs remain
What players love
Attractive art, units and music
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 positive reviews

Mentioned in ~1 in 12 positive reviews
“With the skill tree, again it builds on 5's large interconnected skill wheel but simplifies this so you can't lock yourself out of the ultimate's”
