Might and Magic® 6-pack Limited Edition

Get 6 games from DOS times and good games.

At start I thought that gog will charge 5.99 per each game but 9.99 for all? It's great deal. Thesse game stole large part of my early 'electronic education' ;). Nice gameplay, little old graphic, but I like, classic RPG's doesn't need good graphic. Good story is most important and Might & Magic and HoMM unniversum is worth knowing...

Might and Magic saga is one of the most popular in computer role playing game history and here we have the first six chapters in one great offer. A book would be needed to write a complete review of all games, so this text has to be generic. All Might and Magic games developed the first person perspective as graphic system. So our party goes on in game world in a way similar to fps with the difference (in early games and in particular in the first five chapters of this saga) that the structure of time is turn-based. Our heroes move in a fantasy world with a bit of sci-fi, a typical feature of Might and magic games. Games are full of quests, that follow the classical mood of role playing games old-school. The six chapter deserve more attention. It has divided gamers opinions. Some has considered its graphic too old also for the time pf his publication, but was the first game of the series in which player could move in a dynamic 3D world. Other players have considered it the best game of the series and one of the best computer role playing game, I agree with these ones. The world is really huge and sometimes player feels lost in the enormous map. The quality of rpg is very high. There are many npcs that enrich the plot with solid quests. There is the chance to collect many enchanted weapons. The party move in real time, but there is the chance to change in turn-based system. It’s necessary in order to win battles. Someone says that Might and Magic 6 is a “hack and slash” rpg with a classical style for the tons of enemies the party has to challenge, but its not true, plot is solid and quests are interesting. We have to talk with many npcs distributed in all towns. I think that this game mix the classical plot of role playing game of the series with a great amount of fights. This pack is a must for all rpg fans.

While the first three M&M are now a bit on the older side, 4&5 is what I consider the best heroic fantasy RPG available to date, with a wonderful story that goes from the bright to the dark side of xeen, giving you a really strong and unkillable avatar... until you finish 4&5 and try the bonus Clouds of Xeen dragon where the first dragon will make you totally regret not being a power leveling adept. MM6, while not as good as its two predecessors would still be worth a full 4 stars on its own, with maybe a half star bonus just for the pleasure of bombing whole cities with meteors. Unfortunately, while it is easy to be a savior, being a bad-ass is very hard, and while I did kill all citizen, I never got under a real bad reputation, which is a real shame.

Thanks to GOG I have again the chance to play a game that defined the RPG genre. M&M series is based on original D&D concept. At the start you choose/get party of heroes each can have different class having set of skills, primary attributes, magic and appearance. After the start you begin to unraveling story unique to each game of serie with plentiful side quests which will help you to level your heroes in order to become more and more powerful. Key part of series is M&M VI - outstanding graphics (in release year), party creation, large country where you can find clues related to Heroes of Might & Magic II and stunning music. This part is 'must play at least once' for all RPG fans. Again thank you GOG for this compilation and New World Computing for creating such fantastic serie.
