Might and Magic® 8: Day of the Destroyer™

A way smaller and much less "epic" experience than MM6, but still better than MM7 with some really great ideas and a lot of unique charm. Kinda unbalanced, but that's true for every episode. (here's a little bit too much because of the recruitment system and the dragon characters) The story is a bit darker, but the world is really colorful and rich. The infinitely empty dungeons that were characteristic of MM7 are much rarer here (thank the gods!), but unfortunately we are still a long way from the gigantic and amazingly crafted dungeons of MM6. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because MM6 overshadows it, but otherwise it's a fantastic game full of soul, humor, and the promise of a great adventure.

it can't be a mm7 but this game also rocks...

i really enjoy these games although i haven't beaten any of them yet. they are great fun for a while but can become tedious. it's always the same thing, you join some guild but the guy who can teach you mastery of that guild is some yo-yo in some other town somewhere, so you have to go around searching him out and it's just such a drag and so time consuming. same goes for becoming an expert at using weapons or whatever, time consuming and really takes AWAY from the overall fun of the game, it's one feature in this series that needs to DIE!!!!!!! it's just so stupid. but maybe other payers don't mind this aspect of the game? it loses 2 stars because of this retarded feature.

I've owned and finished the MM8 before, I've bought it on GOG mainly out of nostalgia. It's a good game, but I prefer MM7. The main reasons are a better story, party creation at the start, HMM 3 graphics. Nevertheless, I've recently got time to play MM8, GOG version, and it is still an enjoyable game. Unfortunately, there are some bugs in the game. My bug comes after I've got my main character promoted to lich and visited the Necromancer Laboratory. Since that whenever I click on the portrait of the main character the game crash :( the main character inventory/stats/... are inaccessible. As I've used only a few save files, all of my progress went down the drain. A possible approach might be to have multiple save files, yet even that might not be the solution, as other reviews suggest. It's a shame as otherwise the game still has its moments.

A game which sprang my RPG fanatism to life.
