Might and Magic: Heroes VII – Trial by Fire

Set five years after the events of Might & Magic Heroes VII, this standalone expansion follows Emperor Ivan and dwarven heroes across two campaigns. Their stories explore the fate and history of the Dwarves.

Explore maps, gather resources, capture mines, and build up towns and armies. Develop heroes as they gain experience, then command their forces in turn-based tactical battles.

The new Fortress faction brings dwarven units and Rune Magic to the battlefield. The expansion also adds maps, heroes, artifacts, abilities, and support for local hot-seat play.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its turn-based strategy and familiar series feel, along with the mix of map exploration, army building, and tactical battles. Some also highlight the campaigns, dwarven faction, and hot-seat play. Reviews also frequently report launcher access problems, bugs, weak enemy AI, and unstable multiplayer, so these experiences are not consistent.
