There were a great many games of the past centered around the management of fantasy kingdoms. I would say what made Heroes the franchise it is, is the easy-to-learn and accessibility of the gameplay. It is effortless to learn and very fun. Come we holy knights of the empire! To arms!
This is an excellent port of Mortal Kombat 2. Hint: press f10 when the game begins to kustomize kontrols.
While Baldur's gate 3 might be more technically and graphically impressive, BG 1 will always be one of the only DND games that is a real time action RPG, not only allowing the creation of your own character but the creation of your other party members aswell if you so wish it. I have been hooked on it quite some time.
