The battle is over when all the units of one side have been killed, or in a ceasefire scenario. The battle involves turn-based gameplay, in which each creature has an opportunity to make a move. The strategy is key to the gameplay as battles are structured on a chess-like board where each player controls a faction of units.
Gameplay follows similar tactics found within the Heroes of Might and Magic series. It was released in September 2015 and featured one standalone expansion: Trial by Fire. Heroes of Might and Magic VII (‘HOMM’ going forward) is the sixth game of the series, which was developed for the first time by a different studio compared to the six prequel games, Limbic Entertainment.
