Might and Magic VII Review

This game is only for hardcore RPG enthusiasts.

If you think RPG's are too simple these days, this game is an open world game, very fun and allows players to really screw up, it does not hold your hand.

Are you up to the challenge, a real time hardcore RPG, 2016, games like this are shunned for being too hard.

Basically there is a main quest and many side quests.

Select 4 players, all controlled by the player at the same time.

4 classes, ranging from knight to thief, paladin, cleric, druid, and even hybrids like archer and monk.

Picking your class's right will make your game significantly easier or harder.

Each class can rank up two times, example - Knights can become Cavaliers and then Black Knights or Champions.

This can be done with every class and players can do the quests even without the classes to gain free levels.

Following the main quest will give you a choice, Dark or Light.

Depending on your choice will give you a mirror of what the other side would be, and allow the player to learn Dark or Light Magic. Dark Magic is much more offensively stronger, and Light Magic is much more Buffing stat wise.

Basically one ending allows you to become Something, and the other ending allows you to Go Somewhere - Without spoiling the ending.

So put simply your choice in classes, your choice in sides, will all dictate your experience.

Save often, have fun, and take the challenge.

Make sure if you are playing this on a newer system to install the 16/9 hack so you can use your modern graphics cards to run hardware mode.

This is available on GOG and works great on newer systems wit compatibility mode enabled.Read full review...

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor doesn't work

I used to have this game and loved it on my Windows 95 system. I have XP now and I cannot load this game. I cannot even get my machine to start the loading process. This is my second attempt to load this game on my XP machine. I also bought the "Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor" millennium addition a couple of years ago and it also has the same problem. I had hoped that it was a problem with the Millennium edition.

I do not blame the seller. I knew this might be a problem; I just really wanted to play the game. :(Read full review...

This is just one of the great Might and Magic Games.

Might and Magic 7 Is a good Game by 3Do The company is out of business now. If you have played MM6 You will like MM7. I I spent Hours on end playing.
Now for the kinda bad news, If you played MM6 on your PC (with XP) It worked Now when you install MM7 on Xp It takes work. Go to Yahooanswers.com and type the question MM7 install trouble or directx trouble the answer is there. Good Luck and have lots of fun I did (am)Read full review...

Awesome

As usual, Might and Magic VII's story is a deep one, with loads of plot twists to keep the whole thing from slipping into a predictable Tolkienesque rehash. As you start the game, Catherine Gryphonheart has taken over the throne of her father (who has been transformed into a lich by the Necromancer's guild) and is ruling over the kingdom of Erathia. The king of the Elves has also established his own domain to the north in the lands of Avlee and the Tularean Forest. Harmondale, a very small little domain squeezed in-between has suffered from the constant tension between these two major powers (the Dwarves, to the south in Barrow Downs keep pretty much to themselves) and has recently fallen to a band of marauding goblins. While all of this may sound interesting, it shouldn't really matter all that much to a hearty band of adventurers, right? Wrong. After winning a prize offered by Lord Markham, a wealthy landowner, you will find yourself the Lord of Castle Harmondale and the surrounding lands. Suddenly all of Erathia's problems affect you and the people who depend on you in a very real way.Read full review...

You cannot play this game with XP

It has Direct X issues and will not play on XP. Very disappointing, as I had played this game years ago and loved it. Unfortunately, this game is obsolete as the service number doesn't work either. Don't buy unless you have WIN 95 or 98 on your pc. :(Read full review...

Might and Magic VII continues excellent gameplay!

A very good follow up to Might and Magic VI-The Mandate of Heaven. This one is very similar in game plan graphics. If you were a fan of MM6 then MM6 will be enjoyed as well.

Excellent
