Well known App Store developer and publisher, Ubisoft, has announced a new expansion dubbed “Heart of Nightmares” for their online strategy card game Might & Magic: Duel of Champions that is available for iOS. With this Heart of Nightmares expansion, it is the largest and most important update bringing in new heroes, a new base set, 100 new cards and new features including puzzles which expand possibilities on the battleground. In this update, one new hero for each of the six factions has been added, each with different powers that require new strategies. Over the past year or so, the game has slowly changed and thanks to this new base set it helps rebalance Might & Magic: Duel of Champions giving new players a better experience.

As requested by users, Ubisoft has also extended the solo campaigns to a total of 30 missions and added puzzles where players have to use complex game mechanics in order to zero an enemy’s health in only one turn. In addition, a new ranking and matchmaking system with classes will replace the ELO system which has shown some problems in the past. Additionally, all menus have been redesigned and new visual effects have been added to the game.

“We wanted to make the game easier for new players, helping them move from the tutorial mode to duels with less hesitation” continued Jobin. Players can now choose from two game formats, the first is standard format, which is the official game format for competition, and features cards from Base Set 2 and all upcoming series. The second format is an open format that applies to all the cards released prior and in to this expansion.

“Our players are quick to adapt and learn the best way to defeat opponents with the cards in their deck, so we are continuing to give players new hero options to keep the game fresh. Each new hero requires players to learn their strengths and weaknesses, shifting their strategy in order to play or defeat them.” said Samuel Jobin, Producer of Might & Magic Duel of Champions.
