Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Reviews

One of my favorite games of all time. It's amazing gameplay wise. You have a large selection of weapons and so many ways to dispatch your opponents to their doom. I love how you can interact with the world around you, throw objects and unleash traps on your enemies. You can be a warrior, mage or burglar. You can be good or evil. The story is interesting overall. While you can just enjoy the game, to actually understand it, you need to know the story of the other Might & Magic games. Specifically the Ashan universe.

A little bit janky, prone to crashes(but there are fan-patches for this). But really fun. Took me 10 hours, and the game stayed fresh and entertaining to the end. The story is okay, nothing special a little bit rushed at times, but fitting for the game.

what a masterpiece i found by accident 10/10, game is fun, funny, nice story. completed the game in almost 9 hours there's a lot of hidden secrets in the game too.

Great game, genuinely heavily underrated. For a game that came out in 2006, it really is amazing. Story at the end was a little disappointing but the gameplay is great regardless.

quite literally everything about this game OBJECTIVELY sucks balls but it's also insanely fun

silly ahh kicking orcs over the ledge game, staring at Xana's body game

a great game and a fun kick simulator. if ubisoft remastered this game i would buy it unless there are microtransactions in witch case i would keep playing this

You need the 4GB RAM patcher to avoid crashes and some command lines, these helped fix all the crashes: -width 3840 -height 2160 -dxlevel 90 -novid +datacachesize "128" -console +map_background none (Make sure to change the width and height values to your resolution) That aside, Dark Messiah is a ton of fun, cheesy writing, questionable dialogue at times and a good amount of bugs, whether this is because I'm running it on modern hardware and Windows 11 I'm not sure. What the game does well is the world, exploring and all the different ways you can take on combat encounters and such. The atmosphere and visuals have aged like wine. I had a few softlocks so make sure to save often, vaulting and climbing ropes and ladders have causes me the most deaths in game due to inconsistencies. All these issues weren't dealbreakers to me, if you like what Dark Messiah does I recommend you check out Enderal.

This is a game where the main ludonarrative element is choosing which woman you want to end the game with. Truly the apex of interactive storytelling.

kick button + half life physics is undefeated in marketplace of ideas.
