Few games in history deserve the title of legendary; Heroes of Might and Magic 3 stands out as one. Jon Van Caneghem and his team at New World Computing created this 1999 masterpiece. It didn’t just set the standard for turn-based strategy-it became the best in its class.

Even today, HOMM 3 remains popular: players worldwide still engage in battles, argue about the best town (the Castle, without doubt), replay campaigns, and can recite almost every cutscene line. This game refuses to fade into obscurity-and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Yet, we must admit: even the most loyal fans sometimes need a change. Perhaps you’ve completed all the HOMM 3 campaigns, or you’re tired of losing to that one friend who always goes for Black Dragons. Whatever your reason, it’s time to explore some new options.

We have rounded up 13 games that could easily pass for HOMM 3’s long-lost siblings. They’ve got the tactical combat, the kingdom management, and yes, the hexagonal grids you know and love. We even put together a YouTube video showcasing all these games in action because let’s be honest-sometimes you just need to see the magic for yourself.

If you are ready to take the plunge, we’ve included links to their Steam pages so that you can begin conquering new lands a lot quicker than your hero does running out of movement points chasing after treasure.
