It is from 1999, it is turn-based, the graphics are hand-drawn 2D, and it is still better than most strategy games released since. Twenty-seven years later nobody has replaced it, and honestly, I have stopped waiting for anyone to try.</p> <p>The GOG version, <em>Heroes of Might and Magic III: Complete</em>, bundles the base game with both expansions and is supposed to be the easy way to play it today. On Windows, it mostly is. On Linux, running through Heroic Games Launcher with GE-Proton, it very much was not.</p>
