Arcomage

Windows - 2000

Arcomage is a fun single or two-player fantasy card game, first appearing as a mini-game in Might & Magic VII that you can only play inns.

Best described as a simplified rip-off of Magic the Gathering, your goal is to either build your tower to a certain height, kill the enemy's tower, or accumulate a certain amount of resources. You draw cards that represent monsters, spells, or artifacts and they are used to produce varying effects. It's easy to play, requires a certain level of strategy, and can be finished in 20-30 minutes. This stand-alone release was published by 3DO as a budget title. You can play against the computer, or another human player via IPX or the Internet using TCP/IP or the Mplayer service. For those looking for a nice 'beer & pretzel' fantasy card game, this underdog fits the bill. Recommended.

... Except that 95% of the Might & Magic quests are "Kill {X} and Return" or "Pickup {X} and Return".

I really enjoyed this game as a part of Might and magic series when I was little. It was a very good addition to the core game and it felt quite pleasent in between story line, leveling up and becoming stronger in the world.

In my opinion people do not appreciate these old mechanics as they have grown used to questing elelments brought from MMOs where you have to bring and fetch items e.g. kill eight boars to gather their tusks and so on.

The value of memorable role playing game lies in exploration of its world and feeling that you can become stronger on your own accord rather than through completition of countless spiritless quests. Have a good day.
