Yes, 3DO manages to capitalize once again on the popular Heroes of Might and Magic series. While it is an add-on, it does not require the original game to be installed, which is a very appreciated move. Turn about is fair play Shadow of Death, like the original Heroes of Might and Magic III, is a turn-based strategy game. To be successful, heroes must be hired, creatures for your armies must be trained, buildings must be built, cities must be captured and defended and enemies must be defeated.
Resources come from captured gold mines, certain buildings and treasure.
The game is complex and it takes countless hours to beat it. On their travels, your heroes will acquire new skills, learn dozens of spells and gain experience. In other words, Shadow of Death is virtually identical to the original Heroes III and the first add-on, Armageddon s Blade. 3DO did include a few minor changes with this release. Unfortunately, unless you re an avid Heroes player you will never notice them.
