And so, dear readers, we revisit our team of anagramatic future ne'er-do-wells as they continue in their deadly quest to find a bunch of items on an island. Only complete badasses compete in video game scavenger hunts, everyone.
Part 2: This Is Probably How Luigi Won His Mansion Too
And so I feel I've given this game its due, and hopefully @ArbitraryWater is sated for the time being. At least until I get around to playing those two big strategy games he was kind enough to gift me. Might and Magic VII really does a grand job balancing the idiosyncrasies of the really old CRPG paragons like Wizardry, Ultima and, indeed, Might and Magic while still managing to be a modern-ish game that is relatively easy to figure out and fun to play. Really, while there's some odd rules that I've elaborated on here, there isn't nothing like the sort of byzantine barrier to entry that usually depreciates these older CRPGs. Just equip everyone with bows, enter turn-based mode whenever enemies are in sight and kite everything until you've gotten a grip on combat, and everything outside of combat can be picked up at one's own pace. For a paltry six dollars on GOG, it's an easy game to recommend.
Thanks for sticking around. I really ought to consider recording these things. I'm hearing video is the way of the future?
