Might and Magic 8 hits GOG

by Steve Watts, Mar 22, 2011 9:30am PDT

The PC classic Might and Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer is the newest addition to digital distributor Good Old Games. The first-person RPG borrows heavily from the engine used in Might and Magic 6, with a few tweaks. You can change your party throughout the game, and it brings back the card-based mini-game Acromage from Might and Magic 7: For Blood and Honor.

Both Might and Magic 8 and its predecessor are available for $5.99 each. Since the series is a continuing story, you might want to consider picking up Blood and Honor before taking on the sequel.

    In the off chance that someone is playing M&M2, roll 7 for endurance stats. There's some weirdo bug in the game that awards huge amounts of HP for endurance 7 characters.
    
    ... but the game scales the number of enemies in combat based on HP. So expect to be fighting 100s of rats after your first level up.
