Heroes of Might & Magic V Interview

ComputerAndVideoGames.com has conducted an interview with Nival Interactive’s Alexander Mishulin, in which the creative director addresses questions about the fifth installment in the Heroes of Might & Magic series. Check it out:

Q: What is your vision of the Might and Magic universe? How will you translate it into the game?

A: I would describe it in two words: dark and epic. By “dark” I mean that the world of Might and Magic is more mature, with more complex relations between “good” and “evil”. If you remember the first Heroes of Might and Magic games they had very cute and cartoon-like graphics. In the 3rd game the graphics became more “grown up”, yet the general atmosphere was kept fairy-tale like. In Heroes 5 we want its universe to be not a fairy-tale but a world as complex as our real world is. And here we come to another word describing the new Might and Magic universe – “epic”. We are making the Might and Magic universe more large-scale, deeper and more global. Even the plot of the game is more epic and more serious.
