Dark Messiah of Might & Magic single player...

PC Preview | Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

Our recent hands-on with Dark Messiah of Might & Magic makes it clear that this is an extremely tough game to pigeonhole into a specific genre. Its brutal, physical first-person action crashes viciously through the tidy role-playing box we'd thought to drop it into when we first heard about it. Our recent hands-on of the first few single player levels violently proves that this isn't just another first-person ... » Read More

Tuesday 18 July 2006 After being charmed by the lively goblin bashing action of its single-player mode, it was with beard trembling excitement that we sat down recently for a hands-on with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's multiplayer to discover what this fantasy action treat has tucked up its mage's sleeve for gamers who like to play in force. First up, the basics: up to 32 players can opt to side with either human or undead factions and can fight as one of five character classes - archer, ... » Read More

Forcing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's single-player story and gameplay into a single, distinct genre is just about impossible. But pegging Dark Messiah's multiplayer Crusade mode as sharply influenced by the iconic Battlefield series, and finding the fingerprints of the seminal Team Fortress all over its deep gameplay is clearly right on the money. OK, so it's got a magical (and mighty) twist, but this is class-based team multiplayer at its core - and dare we say - at its finest. We got a ... » Read More

And we're pleased to tell you that the orc-bashing feels fantastic. Dark Messiah has a pleasing grittiness to skirmishes that highlights the game's differences to fellow first-person fantasy game, Oblivion. This is a ... » Read More

Ubisoft has spilled a few details on the multiplayer modes included with its upcoming first-person fantasy saga Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Sure, Dark Messiah is a role-playing game, but one rammed with so much physical action that it only made sense to spill that into a multiplayer game. In Dark Messiah's Crusade mode, two 16-player teams will enter multiple-round campaigns to conquer one another's castles by capturing control points and killing off the opposition. Teams will choose ... » Read More
