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?
Could Hero’s Hour fit the bill?
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
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.
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.
If you’re okay with some emulation, there’s Dungeon Master and Captive.
Age of wonders 4 is fairly similar. It might scratch your itch.
Might & Magic != Heroes of Might & Magic
