Might and Magic Impressions

Mobile gaming has come a long way from my old hand-held Donkey Kong game that I treasured as a child (Wow I feel old). Take the game Might and Magic for instance. A full fledged RPG with all of the trimmings! Plot, game play and more. This one mobile RPG that really has it all.

Gameloft’s first action RPG will bear the Might and Magic name, and be set in its world, Erathia. In the game, you play as Ewan, a young soldier summoned to free a king from demonic forces, with which the humanoid races of Erathia are at war. Fortunately, Ewan has been blessed with the power to control the elements, abilities that are useful for more than just combat. In addition to Ewan, you’ll be able to play as two other characters–a shapeshifting vampire and an arrow-toting elf. The three will have to work in conjunction to complete the game’s light puzzle-solving elements, as well as to combat the growing demonic menace, eventually confronting its leader in his magmatic lair. The near-beta version we saw was very playable, with only some bugs to fix and storylines to finalize before the game’s September-October release.
