Might and Magic IS BACK! :D

breaking news

slowking

I played another old M&M game from the series.

I played Heroes of Might and Magic III with The Shadow of Death in Chinese when I was young. The main menu and Necropolis were scary as heck.

Loved the games - still some of the best balanced RPGs I can remember. Started with 2, favourite was 3 and even completed the linked sections of 4/5 (+ finally defeated the mega dragon)... Aaah the memories :D

Same here, I was totally surprised to see they picked up the series.
My favorite is the 7, which I completed too many times, and I really like the 8 for the other side of the coin it shows us.
The 9 was interesting but somewhat limited, and too buggy.

M&M are good games, but sadly they use Uplay DRM, so don't buy them :S

sucks that it's not like dark messiah though =(

Errr, no, thanks. The Might and Magic RPG series and the Heroes of Might and Magic series stopped for me with the number 9 for RPG
s and number 4 with the TBS's. And even those last were a bit of a stretch, but at least they were linked to the original storylines. The Ubi games are just a generic fantasy universe. The old series were more than that. A mix between fantasy and science-fiction.

This M&M X is trying to cash on the nostalgic factor, forgetting that the M&M RPG players were, probably, even more hardcore then the HOMM players.

own 3 of them, 2 on steam 1 drm free (I guess) pretty good games.

I didn't enjoy it very much.

You are right! M&M VIII is the best!

Don't get your hopes up since it will be nothing like MM6-8 as its tile based. Not even made by the same company or anything since the story died with new world computing.

It is in the new Might and Magic Heroes universe, and it looked like it is cell-by-cell like the old wizardry and M&M 1-5. I am looking forward to giving it a shot though. My favorites were M&M 6 and 7, not gotten too far in 8, but that is because I had just played through the previous two, and was getting a little burned out on the gameplay, will get back to it again though. I think it would be interesting if they re-released the 1-5 in an updated form though.

its weird that they still use the grid

could be cool nevertheless

Yea I seen the stuff for the new one already. Looking forward to it to be honest. Loved the old games. Remember spending a lot of hours into them lol.

I played MM6, 7 and 8, 6 being my all-time favorite. I enjoyed them more than Dark Messiah to be honest.

When I saw the new one last week, I was quite disappointed that they made it into a Legend of Grimrock-kind of game. The freedom to explorer shit openly was one of the major fun factors in the old games.
