When the open Beta launches later this year, you’ll be able to get your hands on the Necropolis campaign, too. In my preview session, I played the beginning of the Haven campaign.
Might and Magic, for those not in the know, is an isometric RPG, chock-full of fantastical and mythological lore and strategic turn-based gameplay. If the game is to change these perceptions, it needs to be as good as its disc based, paid for brethren, and we’re happy to report that, like Anno Online, and to a lesser extent, Silent Hunter Online, Might and Magic Heroes Online is looking every part the fully realised, online browser game experience. “But with Might & Magic Heroes Online we’ve had a loads of people come up to us and say that this game is as complex and deep as some of the games they have paid upfront for.” The only people who play browser games are players who click on advertising banners and things like that,” says Doru Apreotesei, Creative Supervisor on Might & Magic Heroes Online. “The perception at the moment is that hardcore gamers don’t play browser games. With the development of Anno Online, Silent Hunter Online and Might & Magic Heroes Online, it’s fair to say that Ubisoft BlueByte are working hard to change that assumption.
M&M Heroes Online seeks to change that pattern, with it being the first Might and Magic game to be completely online enabled, and free to play at that, coming from Ubisoft’s now Free to Play focused studio, BlueByte creators of the Settlers series of games.įree to Play Games are yet to register in the conscience of many gamers, and are often viewed as being the shallow cousin of the paid for title. Since then, the series has maintained a steady following, with new iterations bringing evolution rather than revolution.
In that time it has built up a huge following, one that some would say peaked around the time of Might and Magic Heroes IV in 2003. Heroes of Might and Magic is a game franchise that has been going since 1995. We’ve played the game and caught up with Creative Supervisor Doru Apreotesei. In the last of our articles looking at the trio of free to play games coming from Ubisoft BlueByte, we turn out attention to Might & Magic Heroes Online.
