About This Game

The adventure in Heroes VI, starting 400 years before events in Heroes V, catapults a family of heroes into a fast-paced epic story where Angels plot to end -- once and for all -- an unfinished war with their ancient rivals, the Faceless.

A legendary Archangel General is resurrected, but with his powers crippled. Plagued by horrible memories of the Elder Wars, he plots to recover his powers and take control of Ashan while destroying both Faceless and Demons in a series of carefully orchestrated attacks and betrayals. He underestimates, however, the power of the all-too-human Griffin dynasty.

The destiny of these Griffin heroes will be determined by our players.

So, I finally got around to giving this game another go seeing how reviews for HOMM7 were tanking, and the reviews for this game had actually improved over time. HOMM games in general are, after all, great, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that UPlay finally allowed me to start an Ubisoft game. Its taken many years - when was this game released? - since I have had a trouble free start to an Ubisoft game - for these same reasons, I rarely buy from this developer.

Anyhow, it was a fun few hours, but I saved up and went to bed. Tonight; no saves. Hard to say why. I've tried creating new games, make saves, quit, reload - all gone. I believe the fix to this is changing UPlay so that it is in offline mode, however, if I right click UPlay in the system tray and go to settings, it tells me "UPlay has detected an unrecoverable error and must shut down!". Every.single.time. Seriously? We can finally play our games after.... 5 years?! It only took you 5 years to make your DRM launcher work and now it eats all of your save progress instead? FFS Ubisoft, get your affairs in order!

Also, the Conflux - an in game message board where people can write things on various posts at different locations on maps, is up there with worst ideas in the history of gaming. I don't understand if Ubi intended for it to be used for people to post how to 'beat' maps, or just to swear at each other or about the dev - if so, mission accomplished - but it adds nothing useful to the game other than forcing an otherwise unnecessary always online function, which is really the core problem with the whole game - unless you are playing multiplayer, there is no reason to necessitate going through all of the rubbish with the UPlay DRM which breaks even the single player experience - I can't imagine it would actually be successful in connecting a multiplayer match for the duration of a game.

As a game it's like a 5/10 with more bugs than a bethesda sandbox game. Considering the Uplay requirement it's a -10/10. I play offline a lot and that is impossible with uplay. When I play with the internet connected the uplay app is constantly sending packets back and forth. I don't know what exactly the point of them is, but it's significantly more than any other background application, usually beating all others combined. I don't trust ubisoft to begin with so that made this game something that will probably sit in my library for the rest of time with the likes of divinity II and other garbage games.

The game is pretty nice, Heroes V was better in my opinion, but this game offers a pretty cool experience too .

The reason i cannot recommend this game, as most other guys here, is the Uplay/Conflux thing.

Every several minutes, while in the campaign, i receive a message that i've been disconnected from Conflux and i'm then redirected to the main menu only to reconnect to conflux again.

This behavior repeats itself many times that you just can't bother anymore.
Several years have passed since this game has been released and still the customer experience is really bad...
Don't they listen to feedback?

So incredibly Buggy. Seriously. Not only do they REQUIRE you to connect to their ubisoft servers to even play the game, they hold game content that makes the game so much more enjoyable in "online only mode". I do NOT appreciate this kind of ridiculous DRM protection.

Don't buy that game!!
Demo of the game is awsome, but once you buy full game you will lost access to demo.
You can't run or install demo, once you will buy full game.
And full game is missing most features that are in the demo.

Game itself is 7 or 8/10. It has some good ideas. Campaigns are ok. Battles are ok.

Reason I strongly disencourage you from buying this game is Uplay/Conflux and Ubisoft policy.
I wasted 15+ hours dealing with Uplay, bugs and crushes.

I lost all my clouded saves. Support haven't responded yet. So I replayed half of Campain.
I met game breaking bug with stucked enemy hero. Bug known for year on forum. I had to replay map 3 times to avoid this event.
Screen go black sometimes when you enter city or battle or game just crush without anything. This occurs every 1-2 hours.

Every time I need to reload the game I see unskipable logo of company I will avoid. GJ Ubisoft.

When i first bought this game, i was on a high from M&M V, which was an amazing game. I was really looking forward to play a new Heroes game, which better graphics and good old school gameplay.... So what did i get? A game, which is actually worse then V in pretty much all factors. The gameplay is worse, the graphics are worse and the world itself is confusing and really not well put together. The campaign itself is also pretty bad, and while it has some great boss moments here and there, the game just dissappoint.

If you have not played Heroes V, DONT BUY THIS GAME. Buy Heroes V instead and if you really like that, then you can proberly survive this game aswell and enjoy to some extent.

Now to the very bad part. The game alone is proberly a 6,5-7/10, eventhough it is worse then V, but the thing, which nearly makes this game unplayable is the goddamm Uplay integration. But what is so bad abou the Uplay thing? Well, let me sum up:

1:It blocks you from playing the game an account on their service, which would not be bad if the servers worked all the time, but you are gonna find yourself limited by how the servers work.
2: Unless you have internet connection all the time, the game blocks features from your gameplay. Hero weapens and ingame achievments are blocked and the game is nearly unplayable without these weapens.
3: You will constantly battered with announcements from Uplay while you play, which can really stop a good gaming stride.

All in all, the game is alright, maybe even a bit bad, but this game really made me hate Ubisoft. They have ruined the Heroes genre and they are only making it worse with Heroes 7. So my advice? Play more of Heroes 3 and 5, they are amazing games and you are not forced to stay connected all the time to play these games. You can actually go on vacation and enjoy some strategy, without Ubisoft interfering.

Honestly the only bad thing about this game is stupid Conflux/Uplay system that randomly disconnects.
Imagine when you fight a really big battle with PC that you have doing for 20 mins or so and suddenly you get DC-ed and return to Main Menu cause that happens...alot
Not to mention that somehow my CDkey is registred to different Uplay account and guys from Ubisoft arent really helpful

I've read reviews where the game is buggy, where the design is a little janky, where the balance is a little off. I'm not entirely sure about that, because the game requires an Always On connection to some manner of server called Conflux. And even though my connection with the internet remains stable (as far as I can tell--everything else works), I repeatedly lose connection with Conflux.

I just wanna play the ♥♥♥♥in' game. Which, from what little I played, is a step in the wrong direction from its predecesors.

I never got to play this game. It made me install a SECOND program to play and had some complicated sign-up, install procedure. Already I didn't want any of it, but there were errors with UPlay and things weren't working and I gave up. I honestly want my money back.

They never told us we would need to install a second game-community program. It's absolutely absurd.
