Fheroes2 is a Nintendo Switch port of the Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine, reconstructed from scratch. This open source, multiplatform project aims to replicate the original game with enhancements in gameplay, graphics, and logic. The improvements include support for high-resolution graphics, improved AI, numerous fixes, and user interface enhancements. These upgrades inject new vitality into one of the most captivating turn-based strategy games.

For a comprehensive rundown of all our changes and enhancements, check out our dedicated wiki page.

Setup

You will need a copy of the official game to run this port.

fheroes2 root directory is hardcoded as /switch/fheroes2. Put the game files there (specifically ANIM, DATA, MAPS and MUSIC folders), then copy over the files directory, as well as fheroes2.nro. If you have a Russian version from Buka Entertainment, you'll likely have Anim2 folder instead. Rename it to ANIM if you wish use the Buka game data with this port.

At the end you should have the following directory tree on your SD card:

switch
 |
 +-- ...
 +-- fheroes2  <--- this is the game directory
     |
     +--- anim         <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- data         <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- files        <--- Part of fheroes2 release
     +--- maps         <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- music        <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- fheroes2.nro <--- Part of fheroes2 release

Generally, you will need game resources from the localized version of HoMM2 in order to use translations in fheroes2. During the first run, the game should auto-detect the game data you have and offer to choose a language you'd like to use. English is always available.
