Heroes V: Hammers of Fate Review

GameSpy is next in line with a two-page review of Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate, giving the expansion pack an overall score of 3.5/5.

In the end, Hammers of Fate isn’t a revolutionary step for the series (like the Dark Crusade add-on is for Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War). The forgettable campaign and the Fortress hero bug are both huge annoyances — but the Fortress town itself combined with the new scenarios, random maps, and other goodies make it a no-brainer for die-hards of the series; it makes the idea of going back to the original unthinkable, which is the mark of any good expansion.
