Game debuts in top five in first week of sales.
The 3DO Company today announced that the Heroes of Might and Magic IV game debuted at #3 on the NPDTechworld's top games list for the week of March 24-30, 2002, after only two days on retail shelves. Developed by New World Computing, a division of 3DO, Heroes IV is the latest game in the award-winning Might and Magic line which has sold over 4.5 million units worldwide and has been translated into over twelve languages.
The Adrenaline Vault, who gave the Heroes IV game a perfect, 5-out-of-5 stars overall score and their Seal of Excellence, said, "The title takes everything that has ever been great about the series and elevates it to the next level." A reviewer for IGN said, "The latest in this fantasy series is simply fantastic...I simply can't stop playing the game long enough to write the review."
The Heroes of Might and Magic series is one of the most popular strategy games ever, and has won several awards including Hall of Fame and Best Strategy Game from Computer Gaming World, and Top 50 Games of All Time and Best Turn-Based Strategy Game from PC Gamer, in addition to numerous perfect-score reviews. The Heroes of Might and Magic III game reached #3 on the Top Selling Games list, and #10 on the Top Selling Software list as reported by NPDTechworld. The Heroes of Might and Magic II game was ranked #1 for several months on the Computer Gaming World readers' poll. GameSpot called the series, "one of the most brilliant strategy game designs ever conceived."
Like its predecessors, the Heroes IV game showcases highly detailed fantasy worlds in a battle for territory and resources. Players will command armies comprised of skillful heroes and fantastic creatures who fight enemies, capture towns, and collect vital resources and artifacts. The Heroes IV game features an all-new engine that supports multiple screen resolutions. New magic and skill systems mean heroes become more specialized as play progresses, and for the first time, heroes will actively participate on the battlefield. Players will find endless hours of play with six massive campaigns and dozens of stand-alone scenarios, plus a campaign editor that allows terrain deformation in user-created maps.
