Heroes Chronicles: Warlords of the Wasteland (PC, 2000)

About this product

Product Information

The Immortal Hero, Tarnum, has been found wanting by the gods on Judgment Day and denied entry into Paradise. Given a chance to redeem himself for his bloody past and earn the favor of his ancestors, Tarnum is sent on a series of quests documented in the Heroes Chronicles.

The series, published by The 3DO Company and designed by New World Computing, continues the expansion of the Might and Magic universe with four titles chronicling the exploits of Tarnum that take place in the "dark time" prior to his becoming an Immortal Hero. The four separately released, stand-alone titles, contain an interconnected storyline and promulgate the same turn-based system of gameplay and combat seen in the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

The 3DO Company, at the time of release of the Chronicles series, offered a fifth game in the series, Heroes Chronicles: The World Tree, as a free download from their website upon condition the purchaser owned two of the four commercially released titles and had them installed when visiting the site. A deadline date of January 28, 2001 was imposed for the free download.

Heroes Chronicles: Warlords of the Wasteland is actually a prequel to events in the other titles. Tarnum's past glories play out in eight scenarios, all of which must be completed successfully to win the game. The story chronicles the emergence of Tarnum as a leader who forges an army of Stronghold troops and pits them against their oppressive masters.

The game environment is, as the title suggests, a wasteland -- in this case, wide arid deserts and vile swamplands in which Tarnum leads Barbarian Warlords and Battle Mages. A single scenario tutorial is provided for gamers not familiar with the Heroes of Might and Magic gameplay system.

Options include five levels of difficulty, hero speed, enemy speed, video quality, map scrolling speed, move path (on/off), quick combat, subtitles, spellbook animation, outline display of town buildings and a "move hero" reminder as well as sound controls. Gameplay is affected through the use of a point-and-click interface in conjunction with on-screen icons and drop down menus.

Heroes trade, build and maintain inventories, recruit armies filled with a wide variety of creatures and human troops, explore subterranean, water and land environments, learn and cast magic spells and hire other heroes throughout the quests. Wandering enemy troops are encountered in nine possible population sizes ranging from groups of 1-4 (few) to a thousand or more (legion).

In addition to the bonus World Tree campaign, the series contains Heroes Chronicles: Conquest of the Underworld, Heroes Chronicles: Masters of the Elements and Heroes Chronicles: Clash of the Dragons. Each of the games has an interactive preview of the other games in the series as well as a training scenario and deals with an aspect of Tarnum's life.
