For those of you who grew up on party adventure games in the 80s and 90s, like Wizardry and Might and Magic, you must check out the new M&M game. It totally erases the bad memory of M&M IX, an atrocity in every sense. This version goes right back to the old school style.

You move through square panels on the map, just like the old game. You use turn-based combat just like the old games. You party is 4 players with adventurers you pick up along the way. Inventory is shared so you don't have to trade gear between members. It has all the old sound effects from the old games, too. You'll recognize them instantly.

This game is taking me back to the Xeen era, except Jon Van Caneghem is not involved. But the nostalgia quotient is off the charts and I'm loving it. And the game was only $25 on Steam.

Thanks. I'll put this one on my watch list.

Thanks, Traxan. I had no idea this was out there, but I downloaded it and I'm having a blast.

Steam is having a sale on Ubisoft games, up to 75%. So you might be able to get it cheap.

Now that I've been playing it for a while, it feels much more like a Lands of Lore game than a Might & Magic game. Still fun, though.

It's 25% off this game, making it $18.74 for the regular version or $22.49 for the deluxe version that includes M&M VI.
