Heroes Chronicles is a series of five stand-alone games and two free expansions, offering eight new single-player campaigns. They are based on the Armageddon's Blade/Shadow of Death engine, and therefore feature all the various features added by these expansions, including the Conflux town, magical terrains, and combination artifacts; however they only offer the ability to play the campaign, a tutorial map, and "preview" maps taken from the other campaigns in the series. Multiplayer, map editor, and random map generator are all absent.
Story
The Chronicles follow the story of Tarnum, a Barbarian warlord who becomes successively a knight, a wizard, a ranger, a beastmaster, and an overlord in various quests given to him so he might redeem himself.
Campaigns
- Warlords of the Wastelands (Barbarian, 8 maps, tutorial, previews of COTU, MOTE, and COTD)
- Conquest of the Underworld (Knight, 8 maps, tutorial, previews of MOTE, COTD, and WOTW)
- Masters of the Elements (Wizard, 8 maps, tutorial, previews of WOTW, COTU, and COTD)

WOTW, COTU, MATE, and COTD were sold independently. TWT was a free download for people having bought at least two of the Chronicles titles, and TFM was a free for those having bought at least three.
