Heroes of Might and Magic II is a fantasy role-playing game that takes place in the land of Enroth, a place of magic. There are a multitude of creature types, from griffins to rocs, golems to pikemen, unicorns to hydras, and four different dragons. Each castle type has six different creatures, from the weakest to the strongest. There are six castle types, each corresponding to a hero class: Knight, Sorceress, Wizard (good side), Barbarian, Necromancer and Warlock (evil side). There are also six different types of neutral creatures that you can recruit in special structures scattered around the maps.

Compared to the first game, this sequel has larger and more interactive combat screens. The spell system is now based on spell points instead of spell memorization.

The maps themselves range from small two-player maps to huge maps that all six types of players could easily fit into. A map creator is included and multiplayer play is possible via hotseat, modem or IP.
