Might and Magic® 7: For Blood and Honor®

why during the download it get paused? what does it mean? anyone knows it?

The plot is probably the strongest aspect of the game. It continues the story of Might & Magic VI; it sheds the light upon fates of heroes of Might & Magic III; it moves alongside the story of Heroes of Might & Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia and prepares the ground to its addon The Armageddon’s Blade; it presents the player a moral choice, the consequences of which really matter. All of the rest though haven’t much changed since The Mandate of Heaven. The same engine with a tweak to further support hardware acceleration made the traveling feel more fluid, but aesthetically something had happened here in Might & Magic VII. Something not good. The world became less colorful: it’s bleak, it’s grey, it’s visually boring. I don’t know, maybe that’s how the Antagarich was designed with all of its swamps. Still, even its most bright locations pale in comparison with those of Enroth in Might & Magic VI. Also, look at those portraits! Straight from the uncanny valley. Compare them with eclectic deliciousness of ones in The Mandate of Heaven. Nuff said. At least the music is still great. Gameplay remained pretty much the same, expectedly: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Still, there are some minor changes implemented, which slightly improve the formula. Might & Magic VII had its own card mini-game sixteen years before the Witcher’s Gwent. Just solve some early sidequest, find a deck of cards, and on you go: every Antagarich’s tavern will gladly host a game of Acromage for you. But apart from that, Might & Magic VII didn’t bring much new to the table. It made some accurate tweaks to mechanics, deepening and polishing the gameplay; but deprived the world of Might & Magic of its magical atmosphere, making it bleak and faceless.

I have installed this game multiple times, with and without GOG Galaxy installed. I fought with sound issues and the fact the in-game sound controls fail to function regardless of what I do. I have searched for and tried multiple fixes but nothing will allow me to adjust the music volume, in-game. After giving up on the sound issues and deciding to go ahead and play the game, it doesn't retain the save files. Again I have tried different methods of installing the game, added a couple of different game patches and yet every time I quit the game the save files vanish. The folder is just empty. I contacted support and attempted to get a refund over the initial sound trouble, but it took nearly a month to get a response which simply suggested I try downloading a different version of DirectX. I am using windows 10 and I know that is part of the issue with the sound, but DirectX hasn't helped. Perhaps if you have a Windows 7 system to install the game on, you may not have these issues. The game is fun, if you can get it to run properly, and I recommend it to anyone who likes older style RPG games.

The game is great but it would be better if it fit my screen and didn't cut off a bit on all the edge. It would get 5 stars if The game was fully in screen

I tried but I just hated the gameplay so much I gave up.
