Clash of Heroes HD dated for PSN/XBLA News • News • Eurogamer.net

News DS Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Might & Magic spin-off due next month.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes HD, a home console revamp of the DS puzzle RPG gem of the same name, launches on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade next month.

Publisher Ubisoft is yet to announce an exact date but Capybara Games boss Nathan Vella told Joystiq it would be out in "mid April".

The DS original, which launched early last year, won a glowing 8/10 from Eurogamer.

The HD version isn't quite a straight remake. As Vella told Eurogamer last year, new multiplayer modes have been added, units rebalanced and new abilities dished out. Oh, and as the screens below should make abundantly order, it's now ridiculously pretty too.

1/10

Great, I've been waiting on this for a while. Hopefully it will be Fire Emblem for Xbox.

I hope they do some serious rebalancing. Some of the relic/unit combos were seriously, seriously broken.

Great game otherwise, though! I reckon I'll pick it up if the reviews are good.

ubergine: It's nothing like Fire Emblem. Most of the screenshots are from the overworld which is navigated kinda like the one from Super Mario World. The actual gameplay is a match three.

Awesome. Will be double dipping.

I just hope that the improvements aren't like Dragon Age 2's "improvements".

I gave up on this game when there was a battle totally relied on luck. I cannot recall exactly what it was, but I believe the enemies kept switching lanes or something and it was REALLY annoying. from there on it surely would only get worse, so I never played it again.

I love this game on DS, only it's too easy, and the campaign is too short.

I'm still considering getting it on XBLA...

I love the DS version.
I'm stuck at one of the puzzle levels, just haven't got the patience to solve it.
My 8 year son has finished it twice though.
Will definately try it on PSN.

My 6 year old son is also playing it now and I never get a look in anymore. It's a really great game

Delighted this is come to download services - seems like a perfect PSN title. Weird there is no Steam version though.

@KDR_11k, I don't think it's really accurate to describe the battle gameplay as "match-3". I hate match-3 with a passion, but I really like what I've played of Clash of Heroes.

I'll definitely be getting this on PSN. It looks like the HD 2D graphics will be just as glorious as Capy's PSN Critter Crunch's were.
