btw, even with 10% CashBack, it's not $9.99. $12 x 0.9 = $10.8

I don't want to TC the OP, so I'll just say that this is a pretty darn low price for this game since its release and is a good deal for those who are interested. Definitely a green.
That being said this game was a train wreck since launch due to the number of bugs related to Conflux. I'm not going to comment further other than to visit the official forums and read up. Balance issues (I think) have since been somewhat addressed, but me and the wife gave up on this game long ago due to the frustrations of broken multi-player and the dreaded sync issues.

I read about the bugs, but hear that as of the latest patch release (this month) things have gotten a lot better. No hands-on experience though.

For the $10 price, you really have not much to loose in giving it a shot.
Considering I paid $100 (50 each) for 2 copies of the game at launch; I try to refrain from being bitter about the experience and just throw up a YMMV with this game.

Thanks OP. Big fan of the earlier versions. Can't really go wrong now that the game is this cheap--the cheapest prices online were around $50 just a month or two ago.

I've only played one version (HOMM1 or maybe HOMM2?). I was terribly addicted to it back then.

Played this for over 140 hours. There is some AWFUL DRM stuff (UPlay) where you can't play the single player campaign for days at a time. If you're patient, however, the game can be quite rewarding.

Yeah, but I thought HOMM and "Might and Magic, Heroes" were different game series.
UberNoob said: Yeah, but I thought HOMM and "Might and Magic, Heroes" were different game series. This (M&M Heroes VI) is part of the HoMM series. For some reason they changed from "Heroes of Might and Magic" to "Might and Magic Heroes" starting with this one. Just "Might and Magic" is a different series, different genre (RPG) even. HoMM was a spinoff from "Might and Magic"
