Might & Magic VI: Mandate from Heaven - 6/10
3DO and New World Computing returned to great form in their newest release. Its been a long time since an old
school role playing game was released. This hack-n-slash
brings all the classics back to mind. With great game
play and lots of quests to keep you occupied for some
time. Unfortunately, the game is very repetitive and
after you reached a certain level, the game slowly
dwindles down to a bore.
This game continues the line of combining spells and
laser guns as their hook. The graphics are superb and
the quests are numerous. This game will provide hours of
fun as you build up your party. Keep a notebook handy
and keep detailed notes. The game lacks a sufficent
autonotes to keep track of your quests and where to
return to complete them. You are constantly on multiple
quests with the people you interact with. The combat
engine could use some work as with the spells.
If you have never played a Might & Magic game, this is
one that will hook you to the whole series. If you
have, this will be no surprise, the quality is here and
we are used to the puzzles and quests.
