Stars Crew, a feared gang of rogues. She was trained, and then helped a wizard of some renown to attain some amulets. 10 years later she found out that the same wizard had destroyed her village. Kaedin was his name, and she left for Baele to exact revenge. 150 years later, her conviction to kill the wizard is still as strong as ever. Each hero has a unique ancestral weapon which lost its power when Kaedin placed a curse upon it. Throughout the game, players collect Soul Shards to upgrade the weapon's power. Heroes all have some unique abilities which can be leveled up as the game progresses. Development Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes was announced by Infogrames prior to E3 2002 on May 16 as a multi-platform title for the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox for a Fall 2002 release window, although no developer was announced for who would be working on the project. In August, the company announced that the title would now be released in March 2003. In January 2003, the title's website was launched, and in February, it was re-announced for a June release. In April, it was revealed by IGN that pre-orders and listings for the PlayStation 2 version were being removed from various game store websites like GameStop, hinting that the game may become a console exclusive. This was officially confirmed in May by the now-rebranded Atari at E3 2003, where they announced that the game would only be released for the Xbox, and that the PS2 and GCN versions were cancelled. The game was once again delayed, this time for a fall release. Reception GameSpot compared the game to the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series and rated it with a score of 6.6/10 (fair). According to GameSpy, "Heroes wasn't a terribly deep or rich experience, but for mindless arcade hacking, this was a pretty good choice for Xbox owners." Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes has an aggregate score of 74% on GameRankings.
