What a fantastic game this is. There are not many RPGs that offer tile based movement with turn-based tactical combat. I think it has worked its way up to my top three. The environments are really something special. Will need to incorporate the Acid Cave patch that fixes a bunch of stuff.
Weirdly enough, it was the first M&M game I've ever played, right after I finished Legend of Grimrock. I was enchanted by the visuals, the music, and completely immersed in the cozy fantasy setting. The title describes it best, "Legacy" - it's an old school RPG, a turn based open world dungeon crawler. Having came from the world of Dungeon Master and Eye of The Beholder I felt immediately at home and shortly after playing this game, I bought the entire series here. So for me, the last entry in the saga was the entry point to the entirety of it. Please, GOG, it really pains that this game isn't here. The days of UPlay are long gone, now your store is the safe haven for titles like this one. All the best!
I played the flipping heck out of this game! Hundreds of hours!
Although not really technically relatable to previous MM series...
MM X Legacy is both a continuation and a homage to the earlier entries in the MM RPG series, particularly the grid-based, first-person entries like MM III–V (the "World of Xeen" era).
Here's how it relates (and doesn't) to previous games:
1. It returns to the turn-based, grid-based exploration and combat found in the classic entries (I–V), rather than the more open-world, real-time hybrid style of VI–VIII.
2. You control a party of four characters, each with customizable classes, stats, and skills — very much in the spirit of the older games.
3. Set in Ashan, the world introduced in Heroes of Might and Magic V (after Ubisoft acquired the franchise), it uses factions and mythology consistent with the Ubisoft era games which is kinda lame and little bland.
4. References to previous elements like the Blades of Order, elemental magic, and ancient ruins echo classic Might and Magic themes.
The doesn't part:
1. Earlier games (I–IX) are set in the sci-fi/fantasy fusion worlds of VARN, XEEN, and Enroth. M&M X is set in Ashan, which lacks the same blend of science fiction and leans heavily on fantasy tropes, which is ok but not true to the lore imho.
2. Some players found Legacy’s systems (like skills, class promotions, and spell variety) less deep than those in M&M VI–VIII.
Longtime fans may miss the Ancients/Kreegan mythos, which is literally absent from Ashan.
Summary:
Might & Magic X: Legacy is relatable to older M&M games in gameplay and feel, especially to fans of the early turn-based, dungeon-crawling titles. However, it's less connected in story and universe due to the shift to Ubisoft’s Ashan setting. It's essentially a spiritual successor to the early games, but not directly in narrative.
This would be a great addition to already astonishing collection on GoG, and my library...
Do not buy it on steam, its buggy.
