As its name implies, it takes place within the same fictional universe established by New World Computing's Might and Magic series, though the gameplay is quite different, consisting primarily of turn-based exploration and combat rather than party-based role-playing.
Designed by Jon Van Caneghem, Heroes of Might and Magic: A Strategic Quest, the first official iteration in the long-running Heroes of Might and Magic franchise, is an MS-DOS turn-based fantasy strategy game created and released by New World Computing in 1995.
