Heroes of Might and Magic is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy setting and the series' first appearance on Game Boy Color. In concept, rules, and gameplay, it is closely based on the original PC game, but has handheld-friendly controls and graphics, and comes with its own set of scenarios.
As in the original game, players control one of four warlords and must defeat the other three to win a scenario. Heroes are the central units of the game and are used to explore the map from top to bottom, gather treasure and resources, claim mines, find artifacts, and fight battles against wandering creatures or enemy heroes. The player's castles are used to recruit new heroes and produce units to both defend the castles and build up the heroes' armies. Castles can be upgraded by adding new buildings, allowing different and more powerful units to be built. Battles take place on special tactical screens and allow the attacker and defender to issue movement and attack orders to each group of units. Heroes can use magic spells during battles, but otherwise do not directly participate in combat. As they gain experience, heroes level up in RPG style, increasing the power of their armies.
The game does not include a campaign like the PC version, but instead features a selection of 31 freely selectable scenarios designed especially for the handheld. These are categorized by difficulty (6 easy, 17 medium, 8 hard) and map size. The opponent's intelligence and the amount of initial resources are customizable. Games can be saved to battery-backed RAM, for which three save slots are available.
