Strategy games will always be in demand as long as the developers keep the gamers interested with new things. Another way to capture the geeks’ attention is to bring old games to a mobile platform like Android. Recently, Ubisoft partnered with game porting specialist DotEmu to bring Heroes of Might and Magic III to Android. The new version will boast of HD graphics for a better viewing and gaming experience.
An Ubisoft-DotEmu partnership brings the turn-based strategy game to Android. The original game which was released in 1999 will have better graphics after 15 years. Gameplay and storyline will be the same so those who know the game or used to play it can still expect 48 skirmish maps and seven campaign scenarios. It’s a multiplayer game so be prepared to convince your family and friends to play with you. If not, you can rely on your cyberfriends to finish the game with you.
According to Ubisoft, an updated PC version will also be released. It will feature a multiplayer mode through Steam and a map editor. We know the Heroes of Might and Magic III will be ready for Android tablets but no mention if this will be available on Android phones as well.
No information on pricing but game will be available for download from the Google Play Store on January 29, 2015.

I used to play this on my PC all the time. Can’t wait to play it again.
Why wait, you can already play Heroes of Might and Magic III using ExaGear Strategies on android, not only on the tablet, and smartphone.

Nice. Played this a lot on the PC. Hopefully, they don’t ruin it with IAPs that are required to play it as if it were on the PC. IAPs that “enhance” the game, but are not necessary, are fine. Just allow us to play this as we did on the PC without having to use IAPs, and all will be fine. Especially, if they are charging a price for it. Look at Bards Tale. They did it the right way. It plays like it did on the PC and XBox and the IAPs are things that weren’t available in the original and are not necessary to advance in the game and finish it. That’s how I hope Ubisoft does it with HOMM III.
