This newest entry in the renowned Heroes of Might and Magic series brings strategic empire building, epic turn-based tactical battles, and in-depth RPG mechanics to a world of fantastical beasts, formidable spellcasters, and fierce champions. Explore a vibrant world full of secrets and dangers as you play through an epic narrative campaign that heralds impending doom, or conquer both procedurally generated and hand-crafted maps, building magnificent cities and raising massive armies of mythical creatures to vanquish your foes.Made for series veterans and newcomers alike, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is built on the familiar foundations of some of the most critically acclaimed strategy games of all time, introducing multiple classic and new game modes whether playing solo or with friends online.Choose from six powerful factions to lead in a fantastical world where stalwart heroes command armies of mighty warriors and magical creatures in battle. From the armored knights of the Temple and the elemental spirits of the Grove, to the fire-breathing dragons of the Dungeon and the animated corpses of the Necropolis, each of the factions wields its own unique selection of units and heroes on the battlefield.Each faction in Olden Era has a great variety of unique units with which to forge your own playstyle and match your tactical preferences. Will you choose to lead armies of deadly but fragile vampires and liches, able to sap the enemy’s strength with every strike and drain life to raise fallen warriors? Or do you prefer more robust combatants like the noble griffins and their ability to counterattack multiple times, or honorable knights that lead devastating charges? Use varied active and passive abilities to teleport troops further than their movement range would typically allow, summon additional forces to the field, hamper your opponent’s ability to cast spells or use abilities of their own, or otherwise turn the tide of battle.Build the appropriate structures in your cities to recruit and upgrade your units into more formidable variants, or seek out dwellings across the strategic map to bring creatures from other factions into your armies, unlocking new opportunities and synergies to overcome your foes.Recruit powerful heroes to lead your armies, each exerting their own effects on your empire and its warriors as they grow more experienced over time. Where one might help their army move more quickly across the world, another may increase the initiative of all units within their army, favour the recruitment of a particular unit, or generate essential resources to bolster your economy. With over a hundred unique heroes each bringing their own starting armies, skills, and spells with them, there are a great variety of strategies to employ.Whether fighting for supremacy on procedurally generated worlds or playing on handcrafted maps built by the developers or community members on the in-game map editor, Heroes of Might and Magic will always take you to an unknown world awaiting exploration. Send forth your armies to pull back the veil and reveal great opportunities and dark threats, racing against your enemies to capture points of interest and secure the foundations of a strong economy. Navigate the treacherous terrain and varied biomes as you do, and seek out the mountain passes, chokepoints, and alternate pathways guarded by fearsome creatures and deadly armies.Start with a single town where you can construct buildings, recruit and upgrade units, and hire additional heroes. Then venture forth and seek out structures in the world beyond that can generate vital resources, provide you with arcane power, or aid in your defense. With limited movement points per turn, every fork in the road becomes a strategic decision – will you rush to a well and replenish a hero’s mana, betting that the enemy lies in wait just beyond what your eyes can see? Or perhaps the glittering of a treasure hoard and its offer of great reward is more pressing?Valuable landmarks will often be guarded by powerful armies, and the first to overcome this force will reap rewards that can hold the secret to success. With valuable artifacts ranging from weapons and armour to magical rings and trinkets, heroes carrying the right equipment can strengthen what first appears to be a weak army, or otherwise unlock surprising combinations and synergies.Capture additional towns to gain access to reinforcements closer to the ever-shifting frontlines of war, and secure your grip with garrisons stationed at their walls. Develop each town in different ways to gain access to the specific needs of a certain front as you face off against your enemies.The battlefields of Olden Era put warriors and spellcasters to the test as humble footsoldiers stand shoulder-to-shoulder with and against hydras and phoenixes and minotaurs and more. Powerful magic courses overhead as heroes conjure the arcane to strike enemies down or reinvigorate allies, drawing from four different schools of magic to turn the tide of battle. Turn-based tactical battles will test your strategic mastery as you seek out devastating synergies among the large variety of units at your disposal, the heroes that lead them, and the spells and artifacts they wield. The right combination can make even the lowly skeleton warrior a formidable opponent, and a shrewd tactician can find advantages in surprising ways. The battlefields of Olden Era encourage smart but aggressive play – ranged units are able to fire across the field, distances close quickly, and spells can strike from anywhere.Earn Focus by causing and receiving damage, and spend it to use powerful and unique units abilities, unlocking options that range from more devastating attacks and increased defenses to higher initiative and mobility. From the Graverobber’s ability to summon Skeletons to the Locust’s ability to jump to a nearby corpse and devour it for buffs, each unit provides a litany of interesting options in combat. Will you spend this precious resource to heal weakened units with the help of your Hierophant, keeping them on the battlefield for just a few more crucial turns? Or perhaps your Arbitrator can teleport a powerful allied unit forward, surprising your opponent where they previously felt safe, shifting the tides quickly in your favor? Every decision you make is critical, and if the odds are overwhelming, you can always pay the price to flee the battlefield and fight another day.Whether you seek a non-linear narrative campaign, skirmishes against the AI, or battles against friends and strangers alike across three different game modes, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era brings a fantastical world to life across its massive roster of factions and units, great variety of powerful spells and abilities, and endless options to pursue your unique playstyle.

Box Dungeons is a puzzle game inspired by classic tabletop RPGs like Dungeons &amp; Dragons and turn-based dungeon crawlers such as the various spin-offs of the Mystery Dungeon series. The game combines many of the expected elements of an RPG with the simple yet versatile mechanics of a sliding puzzle. Players control a character who slides through rooms to attack enemies, collect treasure, and complete the main objective of each stage to progress to the next. Each playable character has their own abilities that they unlock in their skill tree as they complete rooms and gain experience (EXP). These abilities modify how players can solve puzzles, with many puzzles requiring the use of these specific skills. At the end of each dungeon, players encounter the Boss room. Here, they must utilize the abilities they have acquired throughout their progression to face off against the Boss, who possesses unique special abilities for that fight. <h2 class="bb_tag">FEATURES</h2> - A turn-based system by which enemies make moves and take actions every turn following set patterns, creating puzzles that are in constant shift and require the player to identify these patterns and plan their path accordingly in order to solve them. - The dungeons’ floors include environmental hazards and interactive elements that the player can either avoid or use in their favor, perhaps pushing an enemy into a spike pit or crushing them with a rolling boulder. Interactables also includes collectible elements, such as gold coins and treasure chests, that the player must collect in order to complete “side quests” for extra skill points. - Each floor has objectives besides just clearing them. These “side quests” require extra planning to complete, adding a mostly optional layer of difficulty beyond simply completing the stage. - Their objectives vary, including collecting loot, finishing the stage under a set amount of turns or even dispatching an enemy with an Overkill by dealing more damage than their maximum HP. - Each player character has their own unique skill tree from which they unlock new abilities, both passive and active, that either allow new ways to solve puzzles or are required to clear them. - Each dungeon is tailored for their corresponding character’s skill set, with distinct environment, enemies, and mechanics to match classic themes for both fantasy TTRPGs and classic RPGs, such as the Goblin Cave.<h2 class="bb_tag">Enemies have skills too!</h2> - The short-fused Goblin Warrior uses “Fury of the Small” to deal damage to targets stronger than them. The battle-hardened Hobgoblin can “Parry” attacks from the front, reducing the damage they take. And there are many more. - On the last floor of every dungeon, the player is challenged to a Boss battle, such as the raging Goblin Warband! Those stages involve beating a powerful foe designed with unique mechanics tailored to be tackled by the skills available to the corresponding player character.
