Heroes of Annihilated Empires mixes of two separated genres; the real time strategy games and the RPG likes, all together in a medieval fantasy world, loaded with elves, dwarves, ents, dragons...

In its RTS part, you must build a base, gather resources, and train diverse units in the barracks, all with their own capabilities and weaknesses. One of the features that make HoAE different from other RTS counterparts is the huge amount of units you can collect, which is made possible by the use of sprites instead of 3d models.

The RPG part is presented a-la Diablo, with your main character being the leader of the RTS-collected army. For this character, you can choose the type of armor, weapons and amulets that can make him more powerful, gain experience and of course, fight, by using your main weapon or the many spells available to use.
