A turn-based strategy prequel
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is the official prequel to the series, built on the familiar foundations of the classic games. You raise grand armies, build cities, and wield spells to overcome your foes. The game offers strategic empire building, epic turn-based tactical battles, and in-depth RPG mechanics in a world of fantastical beasts, spellcasters, and champions. You can play through an epic narrative campaign that heralds impending doom, or conquer procedurally generated and hand-crafted maps. The game is in Early Access.
Playing together
You can play solo or with friends online. The game supports Online Co-op, Online PvP, and Remote Play Together. Whether you are fighting for supremacy on procedurally generated worlds or playing on handcrafted maps built by the developers or community members, there is an unknown world awaiting exploration.
Factions, heroes, and battles
Choose from six powerful factions to lead, each with its own unique selection of units and heroes. The armored knights of the Temple, the elemental spirits of the Grove, the fire-breathing dragons of the Dungeon, and the animated corpses of the Necropolis are among your choices. Each faction has a great variety of unique units to forge your own playstyle. You can lead armies of deadly but fragile vampires and liches that drain life, or prefer robust combatants like noble griffins that counterattack multiple times. Over a hundred unique heroes bring their own starting armies, skills, and spells. Turn-based tactical battles test your strategic mastery as you seek out devastating synergies among your units, heroes, spells, and artifacts. Heroes conjure magic from four different schools to strike enemies down or reinvigorate allies.
Economy and exploration
Start with a single town where you construct buildings, recruit and upgrade units, and hire additional heroes. Venture forth to find structures that generate vital resources, provide arcane power, or aid in your defense. With limited movement points per turn, every fork in the road becomes a strategic decision. Valuable landmarks are often guarded by powerful armies, and the first to overcome them reaps rewards. Capture additional towns to gain reinforcements closer to the frontlines, and develop each town differently to meet the needs of a certain front. The game is moddable and includes an in-game map editor.
