The game was well received upon release and landed at #133 on the “150 Best Games of All Time” list. Though the storyline is somewhat thin, it does not take away from the overall game experience. This game is a triple threat, but the controls are easy for new players to get the hang of. Heroes of Might and Magic is part war game, part adventure, and part sim, blending the 3 elements seamlessly. You must also defend your own kingdom from enemy attacks. Every unit has its own movement and attack capabilities during battle so you will have to adjust your strategy accordingly. Once you encounter opposition, the view changes to a close-up of the battle. Using a top-down map display, you move your troops a number of spaces each turn. When playing outside of your kingdom you can send your troops, lead by generals (or ‘heroes), out into the world to discover treasures, mines, camps, resources and many other interesting things. The units can be powered up by upgrading buildings, all of which costs resources, monetary and otherwise. The units include all varieties of fantasy creatures like Paladins, Dragons, Phoenixes, and much more. No matter which class you choose, you start building up your castle by adding different buildings to acquire different units for your army. Your class choice has different strengths/weaknesses and offers different classes of heroes and castles. In this turn-based strategy game the player takes on the role of one of four different heroes: the warlock, sorceress, barbarian, or knight.
The characters are also derived from the Might and Magic series that NWC created. This game is strongly based on King's Bounty, another game by New World Computing. Heroes of Might and Magic is a fantasy role-playing game developed and published by New World Computing in 1995 for DOS.
