Might and Magic® 9

Hi, excellent (RPG) + first person shooter (FPS), with gold (credits). Explore many locations as you traverse the realms to gain and complete quests, locations like, dungeons, castles, underground, cities + much more - a real delight. Choose your path to advance (Might or Magic) in skills and spells, note: even in the Might path you can progress to firing spells. Advance in (Hit points, Armor, Shield, Magical resistances, Ranged, Dodge, Blade, Bow, Disarm trap, Identify item) + much more. Has configurable keys like, movements, jump, crouch, ID monsters, party formation, autorun, quests, map, spells + much more. Good amount of options available (ex: detailed textures, head bob (on/off), choose cursor, always run + much more). Can fire weapon + spell with the mouse while moving. Drag items into character outfit screen (ex: armor, weapon, shoes, gloves, bow, rings, amulet, helmet, shield or second weapon). Heaps of spells to learn, like - fireball, featherfall, torchlight, sparks, recall, chain lightning, column of fire, heal, resurrection, Lloyd's beacon, paralyse, town portal + much more. Enemies like - (skeletons, bugs, Liches, hounds, soldiers, midgets, giants, lizards, ghosts) + more. Buy/sell items, collect items from corpses, chests. Enemies appear back in the realms after a month or so, including new treasures and items. Excellent (RPG), (FPS), graphics, design, surprising long depth, Freedom of exploration (hit), a real winner for enjoyment. A real hit with NPC's voice speeches + chatter, sound effects, great eerie music. (When creating the party choose keys (1-4) between character creation, otherwise you cannot save the names. Also if becoming a (Lich) take one per ingredients needed to become a - (Lich - see chosen pathway) otherwise you cannot delete the other - (Ingredients + Jars) from your inventory, I found all other items can be deleted. If dismissing a character that joins your party double tap that characters number (ex: 5 or 6 or 7) a dialog appears to dismiss them). It really is a magically unsurpassed (FPS)(RPG) for its era.

Doesn't start on W10, despite supposed W10 compatibility. MM, otherwise, lovely. Would love to play it, which is why I bought it.

Overall there is nothing terible about mm9 but its just doesn't grab you the same way the 6 7 8 did . It has a new engine but always feels a bit awkward and substance that made previous three games memorable is not there. The graphics are not bad but graphics are never a deal breaker for older games. do think they could have done much more with this then they did. I do recommend it with the knowledge that don't goto into fter playing 8 and thinking its going to be a better version of that. I can work on 10 but yes it does have its issues.

The game came about 2002 when I was in my youth. It's the last version of the "poor-graphics" MM and is quite fun for someone who needs a low input fun-time.

This episode is an awesome progression from the previous episodes. While some aspects from the series had to be sacrificed for new aspects, it retains much of the charm and adventure that was present in the previous episodes.
