Fheroes2 Launches Open-Source Heroes of Might and Magic 2 Engine 13 April

New Version of Fheroes2 Released: Recreating Heroes of Might and Magic II Gameplay

The latest version of Fheroes2, version 1.0.3, is now available for download. The open-source project aims to recreate the gameplay of the classic game Heroes of Might and Magic II from scratch. The project is written in C ++ and distributed under the GPL v2 license. To launch the game, players will need the game resources files, which can be obtained from the demo version of Heroes of Might and Magic II or the original game.

Main Changes in Version 1.0.3

  • The behaviour of Heroes of Might and Magic II on the adventure map has been improved, with optimizations to the intelligence algorithms of hidden territories, as well as better evaluation of object importance and optimal use of the portal spell.
  • Small issues with the drawing on the adventure card have been fixed, and the explosion itself has been accelerated.
  • The engine code has been significantly redesigned with the aim of implementing an integrated editor of the cards in the future.
  • Errors in the logic of the functioning of the spells “Fantom” and “Teleport” in battle have been fixed.
  • A new virtual keyboard activation button has been added.



  • The engine is currently under review for official release on the Google Play Store.
