A legendary Archangel General, killed during the war of the Elder races, is resurrected. Under the cover of preparations for an upcoming Demon invasion, he plots to recover his powers and take control of Ashan while eradicating his ancient enemies. Yet he underestimates the power of the all-too-human Griffin dynasty. The Griffin family at this time contains five distinct and powerful representatives. These are the main heroes of the Might & Magic Heroes VI campaign, and they will lead its different factions to battle. The destiny of each of these heroes are for you, the player, to decide.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Buy it when it's a $10 bargain bin game, October 20, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Might & Magic: Heroes VI Deluxe Edition [Download] (Software Download)
    First off let's start with the DRM. When their servers aren't acting right your progress doesn't get saved, you can't play the campaign (except in offline mode which doesn't advance and doesn't give you access to everything you've already done on-line), and it's just an overall buggy system.

    Bugs. Lots of them. The first thing you'll notice is the flickering cursor that will slowly drive you nuts. Oh, and when it says "press any key" a friend warned me, and I confirmed it, do NOT press the up arrow key. If you're lucky you'll end up not being able to scroll around the map using arrow keys or mouse. If you're unlucky it'll get stuck scrolling upward until you reload. Couple that with various gameplay bugs and oversights, like needing to kill a hero that de-spawns because you took all his castles, and the game is clearly nowhere near close to being out of beta.

    It doesn't really feel like heroes. No town screens. WHAT? Yes, you heard me, the beloved town screens were replaced by a cheesy animation and a tab for building. Faction specific resources? Gone. Everyone wants the same blood crystal. Stealing enemy resource mechanics have changed. You can't steal their creature dwelling boost buildings in their territory. The entire dynasty system seems somewhat poorly thought out. There's also a bug preventing people from buying Dynasty abilities even though they meet the level requirement.

    This game just doesn't feel like heroes. They took the name, and some of the basic ideas, but this just doesn't feel like the series I'm used to. Much less strategy involved. It's too bad you can't return video games.

    It would get more than 1 star if the DRM wasn't to bad and the bugs weren't so numerous.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Stifling DRM, Mediocre Gameplay, October 16, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Might & Magic: Heroes VI Deluxe Edition [Download] (Software Download)
    The worst part about it is the DRM. It's only been about four days since the release of the game, and this is the second day that I haven't been able to play due to Ubisoft servers being on the fritz. (Not even multiplayer mind you, but the single player campaign). I suppose I could use the offline mode feature if I wanted a bunch of content to be unavailable including my SAVED GAMES.

    I could go on about how I think that the gameplay is uninteresting and a real step back from its predecessors, but really it's overshadowed by the 20 foot tall gorilla-cyborg that is the DRM.

    1.0 out of 5 stars DRM Ruins It, October 21, 2011
    This review is from: Might & Magic: Heroes VI Deluxe Edition [Download] (Software Download)
    Wait a year and buy it for $10 out of the barain bin, not including major game features in offline mode and making your online/offline saves incompatable is absurd.
