Might and Magic® 6-pack Limited Edition

I've played most of the way through Might and Magic 6. While the world exploration and building up your characters is fun the story is pretty mundane and drip fed to you through hours and hours of fetch quests which all inevitably involve clearing out a dungeon. It gets a little tedious. For a a better open world party based RPG from the same era I recommend Betrayal at Krondor. Significantly better story and depth of play. I also put in about 15-20 hours of Might and Magic 1 and hand drew many maps. I can only recommend that title for real masochists.

For the price it is pretty hard to pass up this compilation, so many renowned rpgs from the 80s and 90s in it. And these games are not easy, the first 2 are brutal to relative rpg's casual gamers like myself. those flesheaters, i cant get past them. I am having a great time with Isles of Terra now, i will come back to the previous 2 later i think, but Isles of Terra has it all - day night cycles, food consumption, levelling up, weapons and armour need repairs, lots of orcs and goblins and crab people, a battle arena to gain experience in too. enemies may respawn but not right away, more randomly but one can feasibly clear a dungeon of enemies completely so it is not irritating in that respect like some other old rpgs, also i am thankful for the save function which i am not sure the previous 2 have. its a lot like the Ishar games but with a bit more going on under the hood and one can move around much faster. all in all a must buy for any retro rpg fans

The best titles are M&M for Blood and Honor and the Day of teh Destroyer. I would love to get those on WINDOWS 7. Also it would be good to get the spin offs like the Crusaders, Legends etc.

I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO!

Might & Magic VI had a massive success upon release. And no wonder: it adjusted the traditional Might & Magic playing routine to the demands of the zeitgeist and scored. Although, in my humble personal opinion, the game lost some of the series’ uniqueness along with that. It became more mainstreamy, I suppose, with much fewer puzzles and more grinding combat. There is even a proper boss fight in the end. Still, The Mandate of Heaven remains one of the best entries in the series, and a small amount of its flaws pales in comparison with a horde of its strengths. *For my full (pretty long) review of Might & Magic 6,7,8: https://bezdarbor.com/2019/11/06/mightmagicpart2/ **For my review of the first five games in Might & Magic series: https://bezdarbor.com/2019/10/14/mightmagicpart1/
