Variety and immersion

Finished the game I guess over 100 times, literally, during the last 20 years. (well, after 47 times I stopped counting, it was 12 years ago). Every "one class" party, every class as the main hero, solo, solo without reload (1 life hardcore). And over, and over again. For me it never gets boring. CRASH - ESCATON PALACE - if you get a crash upon entering, turn off all sounds. That's it. You're welcome. Major CON is that many dungeons are copies of mm6 mm7 dungeons, just with entrances is other places. No big great dungeons. Someone may remember Tomb of VARN, mm6. NOTHING EVEN CLOSE. Well, they are interesting but tiny. Game is SIGNIFICANTLY easier for the first time than mm6 mm7. mm8 - nice and pleasant experience. Figuratively, the world "embraces" you, it is "warm", you fit right in. I call this immersion. I recommend you finish this game a couple of times.

Inevitable Crashing

I'd like to say first that I LOVE this game. I grew up watching my brothers play it and then took up the position myself behind the keyboard. And for that it's not 1 star. However, I have yet to finish the game on account of the system crashing every single time I attempt to enter the crystal. I have deleted files, reinstalled, restarted, adjusted computer settings several times but to no avail. It was downloaded from GoG via my brother's account and we even downloaded it a few times again but it seems to be a permanent glitch. I'm starting a new account to see if it's due to the account itself.

Might be the weakest but the Magic is there.

Depending from your viewpoint, you could rate MM 8 to either one star or five stars. Frankly, I can understand both verdicts. As much as you might like the overall gameplay of the Might and Magic series, the flaws in MM 8 just can't be overlooked. The game uses the same engine as MM 6, which looked obsolete already when the game came out back in 2000. Also, the plot (involving the four elements threatening to destroy the world) is by far the weakest in the series. Instead of improvign the game engine itself, New World Computing tried to mix thing up by changing many gameplay elements. Instead of building your party of adventurers from the start, you only get to create one main character. Rest of the characters will join your quest as the game progresses, and can be recycled freely with one another. A vast number of new character classes, such as trolls, vampires, minotaurs and dragons were also introduced. If having a dragon as your party member sounds over powerful to you then... well, you're right. MM 8 is significantly easier that the previous installments, much of this is due to the party management. Instead of having to painstakingly grind your team level by level, players may easily hire themselves high level characters who already carry high quality gear and know most of the spells. This may completely break the difficulty curve of the game, making much of the game a walk in the park. The huge dungeons of MM 6 and 7 are also gone in favour of smaller, more tightly drawn ineriors which also contribute on the easiness of the game. Still, by some weird Jon van Cangheim magic, 'Day of the Destroyer' IS a fun and enjoyable game. There's tons of side quests to accomplish, secret dungeons to explore, monsters to slay and magic artifacts to be found. If you liked MM 6 and 7, you will undoubtedly like MM 8 too. Still, if you're only getting started with the mM series, try the earlier installments instead, as MM 8 is the weakest game of the trio.

Enjoyable series

Possible fix for the Crash at Escaton Palace. I searched for solutions to see what was available before purchase; at $1.50 on sale, I think it's worth it. I found this solution: Go to the game's music folder and add a 16.mp3. If it still crashes, add a 1.mp3. I assume you would add any mp3, just change the name. I hope this helps... Here is where I found the info, if anyone's interested. I don't know if I can post likes, so you'll have to add the two dots... https://forum.speeddemosarchivecom/post/might_and_magic_8_day_of_the_destroyer_76html
