The series in the years to come will be an inspiration for many games that will propose the New World Computing game mechanics.īelow is a super-comprehensive collection of all these games like Heroes of Might & Magic (HOMM) including all the HOMM games too in order of release date. Similar to 4X strategy games but with a focus on the RPG components. Wandering around maps gathering resources and recruiting soldiers to use in chessboard-like battles are only half part of the game, the other half saw players managing resources and building new structures inside towns to get access to powerful units.

The Heroes of Might & Magic series brought this kind of game to great success thanks to the merging of RPG exploration and battles with a strategy layer.


Heroes of Might & Magic is a series originally created and developed by Jon Van Caneghem through New World Computing with the first title A Strategic Quest released in 1995 on DOS with an updated Windows 95 version a year later.
