Some fun, and a mountain of frustration.

As stated elsewhere, GOG includes the patched version getting rid of most gamebreaking bugs and unfinishable dungeons. However, it stil needs some TLC to run decently on Windows 10 - grab dxVoodoo patches for graphics and patches for menu performance. However, that's fine. Once the game is set up, it's real fun. Until I got to the unbearably stupid promotion quest system where you have to select characters BEFORE finishing taking the promotion quest. If you didn't do that, you're completely locked out of that promotion path, which lost me some 20-ish hours, because I just took the quests to do them and submit them later. After this, I really didn't have the strength to restart. Now, I might return to MM9 at later date, but after finishing 6,7,8 in a row, I just remembered the disappointment from when I was young and finished the game the first time. I'm giving 3* because the game IS fun once set up, but the frustration with some INCREDIBLY stupid design choices drains all the enjoyment out of it.

The worst of the Might & Magic games...

I remember looking forward to the release of this when it first came out because I'd been a fan of the Might & Magic games since Might & Magic III was released and it became my first M&M game. Unfortunately due to some bad business decisions in trying to get into the console gaming market with their own console and milking the Army Men IP to death, they'd ended up bankrupting the company. They couldn't even finish M&M 9 properly despite the New World Computing founder and developer Jon Van Canegham sinking $1 million of his own funds in trying to complete it. 3DO literally shipped Might & Magic IX the same day they filed for bankruptcy and laid off everyone despite that it was clearly unfinished and had game-breaking bugs. It is only through the die-hard Might & Magic fan community that the game even became playable. Unfortunately there was only so much they could do without having the actual game code. It is extremely unfortunate that Ubisoft picked up the M&M franchise and then only ever released Heroes of M&M games and that travesty that was Might & Magic X over a decade ago. I really wish someone who loved the Might & Magic games could buy up the franchise and bring it back to greatness.

I enjoyed it alot! 3DO screwed it tho...

As a massive fan of the classic NWC games, HoMM and M&M, this game is probably the one that is the most unfinished of the bunch, and it feels! A lot of quality-of-life stuff that you could find in M&M6 even, are not here. There are bugs; visual, audio, and gameplay. And the story is quite frankly as unfinished as the code. That being said, I enjoyed it quite alot! As a lover of the world of Axeoth, exploring these areas was a joy! The dungeons are fantastic, some of them even better than the ones from the beloved 6-8 games. And the music is stellar as always. It hurts knowing that the devs were really trying there best with nothing, but their passion does shine through, and I'm happy that this game exists!

Review.

This game had potential to be "the best" M&M in series. There are some really good reworks. Now there are no "Must have" class like priest or knight always were just because they were way too powerfull, mage and druid can cover for a priest for support and add more firepower, priest itself will provide alot, both heavy fighter kinda equal with gladiator being just more tanky but assassin is capable to do more damage etc. Yes the ranger is questionable character but still ok i guess. Combat is really cool, if we "remove" AI bugs it is doing pretty good job to provide challenge almost at all stages of game. Economy was better balanced and spells were balanced aswell, now you cant faceroll bless+heroism for 5 hours after completing harmondale, you need to be really skillfull in magic to do good blesses and local heroism aka "faith" is single target, spell and buff management was done REALLY good for M&M. But it seems that is all that devs were able to kinda do before release, their core with classes and combat/magic going with almost empty shell of not completed cities, underworked promotion system, quests, ALOT of bugs, both gameplay and visual aswell as crashes. Even things that alot of people liked like gearing your character maneken in inventory now gone, more than that the pictures of characters dont match race and portrait look, which is huge shame for this series. Consider getting this game if you are looking for M&M gameplay with interesting magic and combat, but if you are looking for well crafted world with stories and dialogues your best shot will be to miss this game. I have rated this game 4/5 since i knew what game im gona play, if it were my first hand expirience it would be 2, maybe 3/5.
