Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Reviews

It's nothing special, but I had a fun time. Definitely worth the price on sale. Don't neglect the magic/physics system. The melee combat plays like Skyrim, but there are lots of fun interactions you can have using the spells, kick button, and the environment. You could probably finish this in 10-15 hours, I sat around recharging my mana for ages all the time, and hindsight has showed me that was a total waste of time. This game is going to crash, a LOT, especially during combat. Make frequent use of the F6 quicksave button. Fortunately, on modern hardware it takes maybe 5 seconds to boot up the game and restore your save, so its not quite the headache this would suggest,

Yeah it's pretty good. Movement being super clunky, and the constant screen tearing is the worst part. Everything else honestly holds up. This game could get remastered with a couple other minor improvements and would be great. Ending is a bit disappointing... no "Happy ending"

An rpg far ahead of its time. You can see the influence for Arkane studios later games too just purely from how the game functions. Environments are interactible, enemies can be ragdolled around the map once you are strong enough, and it also has a very fun multiplayer mode (unfortunately is dead).

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is a "Bro, seriously don't worry about a 'build' just kick everything off the ledges but if you dó really have to melee don't click too fast or the game will crash"- simulator. Also might be one of *the* worst stories I have ever experienced in an RPG. True Ubisoft era nu-Might&Magic slop. Go play it. It's fun.

while there are a few segments that kinda drag and/or are pretty same-y (fuck the altar of the spider skull) this was a fun linear first person quasi-rpg also yes like everyones already said this game PERFECTED kick mechanics. virtually half the games combat can be done just kicking motherfuckers off ledges and it NEVER gets old. its actually better than the regular combat and the magic (which is pretty useless aside from healing and freeze). story is fucking stupid in classic late 00s fashion. a total schmuck gets two insanely hot chicks to follow him around either by his side or inside his fucking head. throw in some daddy issues, you get to be "evil" and i guess Might and Magic lore that i dont fucking understand and you have a terrific standalone janksterpiece from the forever-awesome xbox 360 era.

Saw this game in an Avowed comparison video, instantly fell in love—had to play it, so I bought a Steam Deck just for it. Only a handful of hours in, but I'm loving it. Story's a bit confusing tho. The little context blurbs during loading screens fly by so fast I can't even read what's going on or why. Imagine a Star Wars intro scroll—but it lasts like 2 seconds. Anyway, it runs fine on Steam Deck. Just gotta mess around with control mapping a bit, 'cause with default controls you can't even walk straight. Very fun game, takes me back to the days when ganes were good.

[b]Disclaimer: I had to fan patch the f**k out of this game just to get it working properly by any stretch.[/b] This game has some of the best combat I've ever seen in a fantasy title. There's directional attacks, physics-based combat and interactions, and even the ability to execute enemies. It's not perfect and even i sometimes have trouble doing things correctly, but it's freaking awesome. And to be completely honest, I am annoyed that the awesome stuff this game does has not been carried forward much (if at all) into fantasy RPGs since 2006.

This is a very good goofy RPG game. Some weird hybrid...a mishmash of many things and it is a miracle that the end result is a real gem. After 3 decades of playing games I can only say that this game is bonkers. The story is so funny and the game encourages you to experiment with the game play mechanics. You can really customize your stats and I like that choice. Everything in this game suggests that the developers were trying to have fun while making a very good and unique game. You can find lot of secret areas and the exploration and experimentation is always rewarding. It is a really well designed game and it gets a 10/10 from me. This is a crazy game, really unique and fun to play.

Impressive, interactive combat system for the time. Sword crafting mechanic is also one of the few enjoyable moments I've had crafting items in a videogame.
