Heroes 3.5: In the Wake of Gods Portal > King’s Bounty (a.k.a Heroes 0)
King’s Bounty (a.k.a Heroes 0)
King’s Bounty is widely considered to be the precursor for much of the gameplay in the Heroes of Might and Magic series, both of which were published by New World Computing and designed by Jon Van Caneghem.
Among the many similarities, an emphasis on hero development and combat style are especially prominent in both. In the introduction to the player manual of Heroes 3, van Caneghem credits King’s Bounty as the precursor to Heroes of Might and Magic.
