I was especially fond of M&M 6 7 and 8 as a kid. I have also played the most recent, 10, which while different and flawed in many ways, was still good enough to be enjoyable. I have also liked things like Wizardry 8 in the past.
I did try to replay 7 recently, but I thought that it has not maybe aged too well as the combat was too grindy for my current tastes.
Can anyone recommend something similar perhaps?
I haven’t been able to find anything that quite scratches the same itch but you might want to try might and magic merged, which combined 6 7 and 8 in a fairly fun way, fixes a few of the issues, and rebalances the game to not be quite as grindy. It’s a mod running off the mm8 engine.
This sounds great, I will look for it and give it a try! Thank tou.
I bought Might and Magic 8 and brought it home. There was only the play CD and no install CD. Never been so disappointed when buying a game in my life. I bought the game during a trip and couldn’t easily return it.
TLDR: I love Steam
The first Wizardry got a remaster last year with some quality of life updates.
Huh that’s interesting, thanks for letting me know. I’ll check it out.
Maybe Valbrace in UFO50?
Edit: what about Barony?
Thank you Barony seems quite interesting, and I’ll keep it in mind. For the current moment, though, I would like to scratch an itch of something with a proper campaign instead of a roguelike. But seems up my alley for later.
If you’re okay with some emulation, there’s Dungeon Master and Captive.
Could Hero’s Hour fit the bill?
Age of wonders 4 is fairly similar. It might scratch your itch.
Might & Magic != Heroes of Might & Magic
