Heroes III: Shadow of Death is the next eagerly-awaited instalment in the award-winning Heroes of Might and Magic series and, with a merry throng of all-new heroes, campaigns and missions, is set to storm the ramparts and run amok across Europe when it is published by 3DO on 30th June.
In this epic instalment, an unscrupulous necromancer manipulates four unsuspecting heroes to do the dirty work in his quest for world domination. With the help of these unwitting companions,
the necromancer assembles two artefacts of tremendous power. World domination is within his
grasp. He stands at the brink of invading the good lands of Erathia and AvLee unless these four
heroes can band together and assemble the Angelic Alliance - the only artefact that can give them the strength to stand up to their enemy.
Heroes III: Shadow of Death sports a gleaming armour of 86 Stand-alone missions and 14 epic
campaigns, including 38 all-new single scenario maps and seven Shadow of Death campaigns.
With hundreds of adventure structures and a comprehensive campaign editor, heroes are
guaranteed unparalleled, timeless replay again and again.
The secret, nail-studded weapon in Shadow of Death's arsenal is of course its impressive multiplayer compatibility. Up to eight heroes can compete or team-up via hot-seat, LAN, modem or the Internet providing multiplayer satisfaction, guaranteed to quench the bloodlust of the mightiest and most magical of heroes.
All these shiny new features join forces to muster into an undefeated game with 145 totally different combat units, endless variety and in-depth strategy set across eight new terrains, each requiring dedicated tactics and offering eight town types, each with their own moats and
stronghold barricades.
