The game begins with the young Price Golwyn assembling a team of six different characters, all with different skills and abilities, embarking on a quest to save his father’s kingdom. With 70 all-new Might and Magic creatures with contend with, this is no mean feat.

The warhorse behind Legends of Might and Magic’s polished armour is the powerful Lithtech 2.0 game engine. Developed by Monolith, this young steed ensures the slick animation and in-game graphics run ferociously fast and free across beautifully rendered landscapes. Through swamps, forests, castles and dungeons will become completely immersed in an unparalleled, ultra realistic 3D kingdom.

The gleaming chain mail holding this mighty warrior together is its multi-player compatibility. With Internet and LAN prowess for up to six different players and a Deathmatch mode for up to 16, Legends is a scenario-based experience that can be shared with enemies and allies the world over. Furthermore, a random adventure generator will ensure unlimited replayability.
