Legends of Amberland.
Legends of Amberland.
Might&Magic X.
The good Might&Magic are for me Might&Magic II, Might&Magic III, World of xeen, Might&Magic VII and Might&Magic X. I love Might&Magic III and World of xeen.
MMIX The Writ of Fate is ugly and unfinished in some places, but underneath the negatives, it is still a Might & Magic game in the vein of 6 and 7. Just to clarify, you mentioned the doing things in real time, but IX also has the toggle to switch between real time and turn based. The exploration is decent and there are some clever dungeons to be found. I played the game to completion, and it does have some interesting concepts such as the Norse spin on the pantheon. You get to travel and adventure in the afterlife, too.Does anyone like Might & Magic 9? I've tried to play it but trying to do things in real time feels wrong. Even in 6/7/8, I used Turn-Based mode, so maybe it's for the folks who enjoyed doing things real time in those games?
Just curious if anyone out there had a good experience with it.
Interesting. I was under the impression that the game was real time only. I think I may have read that somewhere. But, if it's not true, that might make it a better experience. I didn't try to enter turn-based mode when I tried to play it due to my understanding that it wasn't turn-based. Clearly, if that was mistaken, it might deserve another shot.MMIX The Writ of Fate is ugly and unfinished in some places, but underneath the negatives, it is still a Might & Magic game in the vein of 6 and 7.

It's the weakest entry of the party-based series, but if you can stomach the graphics and a few other peculiarities, it is far from the worst thing ever.
MMX sucks balls.

Can you be a bit more specific? TLDR.a few other peculiarities
The most specific example I can recall is in one town, there is a Desert Terror or some kind of powerful monster rampaging and it is unable to be killed. That was a bug. Other than that, most of the unfinished aspects are in the graphics area. The character models look pretty bad. The NPCs that you have to track down often are of similar appearance, making it a pain sometimes when a quest is to find so and so in this town. But these fall more under the peculiarities. Along with naming conventions being more Old Norse style, which might seem strange coming from previous Might & Magics. Overall, I did not run into any game breaking bugs, but that was twenty years ago.MMIX The Writ of Fate is unfinished in some places
