Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Preview

Gamehelper is next in line with a preview of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, based on their time with the game’s publically available demo.

The magic system in Dark Messiah looked far better than any predecessor I’ve seen. Spells actually look like spells as opposed to a different colored generic magic ball that emits from your hand. It definitely adds a sense of reality and coolness to the magic. You’re wielding fire so it should look as such! It does. It was cool to see my hand emitting heat waves as I was about to unleash a fireball, then light my enemy aflame. Gotta love fire! The demo was limited but I was able to use some of the ice abilities, as well. Your enemies will slip and slide on the ice-slick ground or freeze completely if you’re close. It’s definitely a mechanic I’ve not seen done well before in a first person setting and it worked quite nicely from what I saw.
