The creators of Heroes V appear to have carefully added the game's new tweaks and additions, such as its colorful new 3D graphics, its additional hero tweaks, and its new interface options, with painstaking caution and complete respect for the basic gameplay of the Heroes series. There's a great deal of core Heroes gameplay that has more or less remained intact, and if you're a fan of the series (and even if you've never played the series before), that's a good thing, since the game's exploration, decision-making, and tactical battles seem as enjoyable as before, if not better. All things considered, Heroes V seems like it will offer a new and improved version of the classic strategic game that so many fans have come to know and love. The game is scheduled for release in May.
