Description from IGDB IGDB

The Destroyer again walks the land. In the four corners of the world gates to the planes of Fire, Air, Earth, and Water have opened and denizens of those realms are sweeping across the lands. Lead a band of rugged adventures on a most perilous mission to save the world. This is not necessarily an adventure just for Knights, and Clerics, you may need to enlist the aid of the darker races such as, Trolls, Dark Elves, and Minotaurs. Save the kingdoms from ruin or watch as the lands are decimated forever in Might and Magic VIII.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

Might and Magic VIII is based on the Might and Magic VI game engine, and many of its elements are strongly similar to the previous two titles in the series. Unlike the previous two games, however, Might and Magic VIII introduces a new party management system that allows all but one of the player characters to be hired, dismissed or re-hired at any time during gameplay to vary the composition of the party. The character class system used in the previous two games has similarly been overhauled, with only the Cleric and Knight classes remaining and the Sorcerer class re-tooled as Necromancers. The experience, spells, levelling and skill system present in both previous Might and Magic titles is retained, with only minor updates. In place of the traditional class system, Might and Magic VIII features non-archetypical playable races. Aside from human Knights, Clerics and Necromancers, the available classes are Minotaurs, Vampires, Dark Elves, Trolls and Dragons, each of whom possesses traits unique to their particular race. The player's party has a maximum size of five characters. The character created by the player at the start of the game remains with the party for the entire game and is referred to as the "Acknowledged Champion of Jadame". The other four slots in the party are filled by recruiting pre-made adventurers encountered during gameplay. Not all slots necessarily need to be filled, although some quests can only be completed with a specific adventurer in the party. Dragons are the only class who cannot be created at startup and must be recruited as pre-made characters, due to being inherently more powerful than other classes. As with its two predecessors, the game world is divided into fourteen "regions", including five elemental planes, each of which contains a varying mix of explorable towns, dungeons and wildernesses. Enemies are fought in either real-time or turn-based combat, depending on the player's preference. As in Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor, a card game named Arcomage can be played by visiting taverns.
