The controls work fine but because of the realism this game offers in movement and platforming, it can be a little stiff and clunky sometimes. The kling sound of the swords, the impact of your kicks, the footsteps, the magic attacks, the sounds and speech of enemies, it is all just perfect. The sound effects are solid, and this is one of the games in my personal top ten when it comes to sound. The music has that typical Heroes of Might and Magic vibe and never fails to impress when in combat, running away from hordes of zombies or when fighting epic bosses. The enemies look horrifying and very detailed, and the overall tint is colorful but very grim at the same time. Even today, this game looks like it is just four years old or something, but it is actually almost thirteen years. I was stunned by its realistic graphics, its animations, the view bobbing of the main characters, the fact that you could see your own feet and limbs and the incredible detail of the environments. The items are well balanced too in terms of availability and are overall well designed.įor the time, I thought (and still think) that Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements is one of the best-looking games out there. Some items are hidden well but are worth it to find to give you the advantage that you desperately need at times. You collect potions, scrolls, food, weapons and items on your travels to improve and heal your character. I really loved the RPG elements in this game. However, you need to think about the feats and skills you want to master because “a little bit of everything” is not going to work out for this game. There is no bound class for you to master so you are free to spend your points however you want. You can earn skill points in combat to improve your skill tree. After defeating him, you decide the final fate of the Skull of Shadows, spawning one of the four different endings the game offers. You dispose of the Orc war chief and start your battle with Arantir. Then you take the fight to Arantir, getting hindered by Orcs, Goblins and a Pao Kai in the process. You learn that Xana is actually a demon that possesses you and besides finding and destroying Arantir, you need to banish her from your system, what you eventually do. You dispose of the Orc war chief and start your … More You eventually meet Leanna, a chick that helps you on your journey. He eventually finds the Skull of Shadow and one can only imagine what he is planning to do with it. You follow it and find out that a necromancer called Arantir is behind the attack. The Crystal that you found is then stolen by a Ghoul in the night. That night, the city is attacked by Necromancers and a cyclops and after defeating them, your search for the skull continues. You need to search for the Skull of Shadows, an artifact that your master Phenrig and his buddy Menelag, lord of Stonhelm want you find. Your master plants a spirit inside your head named Xana, who guides you on your travels. You complete your training and need to go to an expedition to the city of Stonehelm. In Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements, you are an apprentice called Sarteh, trained by a master magician named Phenrig, trained in the arts of combat and magic. It shares story and characters from the Heroes of Might and Magic series but is a completely standalone game with a surprisingly good story, solid mechanics and an unforgiving difficulty. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements is a unique experience.
