POCG VERDICT
A massive old-school RPG that gives you freedom, danger, and just enough rope to hang your whole party.
Might and Magic VII is not a revolution, but it is big, dangerous, and addictive in the way old-school PC RPGs should be.
About This Game

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor is a first-person party-based RPG developed by New World Computing and published by The 3DO Company for PC in 1999. A direct follow-up to Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven, it retains the same hybrid real-time and turn-based combat system and open-world structure while introducing a branching alignment path (Light or Dark) that affects the late game and available spells. Players build a four-character party from a wide class roster and explore towns, dungeons, and wilderness across the land of Erathia.
