The hero will progress in experience by engaging in combat with enemy heroes and monsters.
The player creates an army by spending resources at one of the eight town types in the game. The gameplay is divided into two parts, tactical overland exploration and a turn based combat system.
The gameplay is very similar to its predecessors in that the player controls a number of heroes that command an army of creatures inspired by myth and legend. The player can choose to play through seven different campaigns telling the story, or play in a scenario against computer or human opponents. The game's story is first referenced throughout Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven and serves as a prequel to Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor. It is the third installment of the Heroes of Might and Magic series. In 2000, a Game Boy Color port entitled Heroes of Might and Magic 2 was released and the Dreamcast port was cancelled. An Apple Macintosh port was released by 3DO, and a Linux port was released by Loki Software, both later that year.
