A Quest That Became Legend

While it's not as charming as Might & Magic VI,VII,VIII, it is a similar type of game that you absolutely need to play if you loved those. It might look like indie slop in the screenshots but I assure you this is worth playing.
For those that have never played those Might & Magic games, go and try them first on GoG.
Loot is random Diablo-style drops. For advancement, characters get to assign stat points, skill points and learn spells. There was enough going on with this stuff to keep me engaged, and the combat was quite challenging and fun due to the game being very tightly balanced.
While there appears to be many routes to explore, you're very much forced to find the spot that has enemies that you are strong enough to kill. The game is very tightly balanced and I don't think I could have done much out of order, so there's an illusion of freedom which is great, but not quite as open as the Might & Magic games.
The game has combat music but environments only have ambience.. This lack of music is the biggest drawback of the game for me.
I suppose one other gripe I had with it was the final area. Near the end the combat turns into a real slog and sort of a puzzle that you need to get just right to survive each battle, to the point that in the final dungeon I changed the difficulty down to Easy because I couldn't be bothered with what combat had devolved into.
I haven't seen this game go on sale, so its high price point appears to be an unavoidable barrier to entry.

Classic Old RPG game that reminded me of heroes of might and magic series. The game is pretty challenging even on normal difficulty. A lot of fun with a lot of maps and different monsters.
Just finished the game on hard difficulty. Took me 121 hours but I've spent a lot of time in shops looking for better gear. The game was very challenging at start to middle. On later stages it felt balanced and rewarding.
Highly recommended for those who Love M&M series. Took me 25 years back :)

This game is very Might and Magic like in game play. I really enjoy the style of game play. There are a few issue with the game, nothing that detracts from the game play. I would like to see more descriptive info for differnt skills and spells.

This is a free-movement Might&Magic replacement. It is pretty dang good. It is also very difficult. If you are used to today's games, and their hand holding, then you can not play this game. You will save, and save often, and still be frustrated with your inabilities. However, playing on and finding a different path will be rewarded.
Great game! Great developer! Great experience! Highly recommended.

All in all this is not a bad game and it's worth playing if you catch it on a decent sale. I think his difficulty settings are a bit off as I started out playing the game on NORMAL but it was more like playing the game on HARD. The good thing is, you can change your difficulty settings any time you like. On NORMAL, I found myself just going around all over the place and dipping my toes into other maps just trying to find something I could fight and actually beat so I could power up. It got so bad where I almost stopped playing the game as I was spending more time looking for a fight I could win and was so tired of fighting something 15 times before moving on to another map. I mean, I was searching everywhere and it started to get boring. EASY, IMO is the way to go as I've been really enjoying the game ever since and it's not really EASY but extremely fun since making this change.

Great game for the lovers of the genre. Some minor issues here and there but overall I had tons of fun. For MM lovers, I can only recommend.

This game turned out to be AMAZING! That's probably an understatement. It took me almost 200 hours of game play to beat the game and it was a fun ride. I used to love the Might & Magic games all the way back to Might & Magic II and this game really reminds me of those games that you just can't buy anymore. There is no doubt about it...this game really delivers and then some. I purchased it on sale for, roughly, twenty bucks but it's worth full price when it's not on sale. If you liked the turn based RPG games of yesterday, you LOVE this game. Hats off to the developers as this was a major accomplishment. I hope like heck they are making a sequel to this game because they make a fantastic, entertaining, game. I can't recommend this game enough. Do yourself a favor and purchase this game and enjoy the great story and the challenging game play.
