Technical aspects

After the successful reanimation of the Might and Magic series, 3DO gives gamers another installment of the epic RPG series. For Blood and Honor for PC was developed on the basis of its predecessor and offers similar graphics, gameplay mechanics, and character development system. Plot-wise, the game continues the storylines of the forerunner, expanding the events known from another famous series by New World Computing: Heroes of Might and Magic.

Plot

The sun slowly rises above the mysterious, war-torn land. However, not only the natives of Erathia — humans, elves, and dwarves — arise, hordes of wild beasts, monsters, and giant dragons do, as well. It quickly turns out that multiple different races cannot coexist peacefully, and the increasing tensions between humans and elves will soon become intolerable. The guild of necromancers tries to use the situation in Erathia to its wicked ends. It is time to lead a party of four daredevils to taste adventure yet again and to restore balance to the kingdom.

Apart from the main storyline, Might and Magic VII offers 18 side quests in which we can, among other things, play Arcomage, an original card game designed by 3DO. The plot itself is multithreaded and forces us to make choices that have an impact on the further course of the story. Depending on how things unfold, we will see one of two alternative endings.

Mechanics

The number of character classes was also increased, and so now we can select a knight, druid, mage, paladin, priest, archer, hunter, monk, or thief. During our journey, we will have to face nearly thirty different kinds of monsters and talk to many of over 500 non-player characters.

Technical aspects

The same graphics engine as its predecessor powers Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor for PC. However, it supported 3D accelerators, which visibly increased the game’s visual quality.
