All of the battlefield strategy is handled on the minimap, which takes up about a quarter of the screen when you activate it.

You'll control your main unit, plus as many as four other units. The system isn't too complex, but you do have to pay careful attention to everything that's going on and be able to quickly manage your forces accordingly. If you didn't play The Crusaders, then you might have a bit of trouble getting the hang of commanding troops, fighting enemies, and using special skills all at the same time. Aside from that, you're thrown into battle where you'll have to rely on your familiarity with The Crusaders in order to survive. The only tutorial is a brief couple of tips in the first mission of Ellen's campaign. Heroes retains the same careful balance of frenetic action and intelligent strategy that made The Crusaders great.īe warned though, Heroes expects a lot from you when you start playing the game. The campaigns each have unique storylines, but since all the events are taking place concurrently, the campaigns are all interlaced throughout the game. Most races have one female and one male general, and if you played The Crusaders you'll recognize some of the characters immediately, like Gerald, Ellen, and Rupert. Within each race you can also choose a leader, which functions as your main character throughout the campaign. You can choose from humans, dark elves, vampires, and orcs. When you start a new game you can choose from seven different campaigns, although four of them are locked at the beginning of the game. This game retains the same magic mix of real-time strategy and frenetic action of The Crusaders, but there are more characters and a few more units this time around. For instance, you'll learn that one of the tribes in the game is "…engulped in war." And later you'll hear a man complain that he's "…already in war up to this neck." It's funny the first few times you see it, but it can be rather annoying when you're actually trying to make sense of the story.įortunately the story takes a backseat to the gameplay in Heroes.

Even in the scrolling text that sets up the story as you wait for the game to load is full of nonsensical grammatical errors. The translation is so bad that talking with folks in the pub is completely useless and the information gathered is more of a joke than an addendum to the story. The story also suffers due to the awful translation in the game.

Unfortunately, the story here isn't particularly interesting, because it unfolds through a series of poorly voiced and poorly written conversations accompanied by tiny, static character portraits. The story in Heroes is the same kind of thing you'd find in any Tolkien-esque fantasy novel, with all kinds of fantastical beasts, magic, and heroes. Eventually, the dark elves were united under the rule of the half-vampires, and together the newly formed Dark Legion set its sights on eliminating the humans and taking control of Bersia. Since the Dark Legion was destroyed, humans quickly gained power. Once again, racial tensions flare between the elves, vampires, orcs, and humans, resulting in widespread and violent conflicts throughout the land of Bersia.
