Master of Magic

This is truly one of the best 4x games ever created. The depth, challenge and theme were a touch point in gaming that influenced dozens of games that came after it. But it's also very much a product of its time, released in 1994 this is not a game many modern gamers will enjoy in this state. So, unless you're ready to deal with 1990's style issues and low resolutions, this version will not be for you. In its current state, it's a nostalgia trip for anyone going through 1990's gaming history. And the DLC available (which if you're buying this, you owe yourself to get all of it) will provide a better play through experience. If you're not already aware, there's a remake that may be more appealing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1623070/Master_of_Magic/ --- Bottom line: A great game that I can only recommend for its nostalgia, because even with the fixes and the DLC it still feels very much like 1994 again. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/]Want to read all of my reviews and not just the curated ones?[/url]

The original Master Of Magic is easily one of my favorite games of all time. But oh boy is it a hot buggy mess and how. There's an entire college thesis worth of complaints on how the original is broken so I'll spare you. This remaster adds some much needed bug fixes and then some. However instead of just stopping at some mandatory tweaks and a few quality of life improvements this game decided to frantically throw everything off the table, dump several suitcases full of cocaine and meth and snort all of it with glee. Everything is bigger and more, the game hits you faster and harder than ever, monsters are more overpowered, wizards are more insane. Even on the lowest difficulty the game will spawn multiple high level dungeons with multiple legendary creatures right next to your starting city and expect you to deal with it. It's a remaster made by and for absolute psychopaths. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932407155

Emulation work is sgreat to make this a stable game! even more stable than back in the olds days of the 486SX, also, they added more players and some map customization which really brings the game closer to the civ experience.
