Overall, Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians isn’t a particularly unique experience, but what it lacks in innovation, it more than makes up for with polish. The animations, visuals, and overall feel just oozes quality, and that alone just might make this the hero collector RPG for you.
Might and Magic: Elemental Guardians is remarkable in its deep structure and also in its beatiful aesthetics. Its definitely a good example of what a mobile RPG can achieve but it has some flaws in narrative and variety.
Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians probably won’t appeal to M&M fans, since it is radically different from what Might & Magic truly is. And maybe also because it’s pretty repetitive. But it’s a generous free-to-play game, loaded with content.
Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians is a fair mobile title that offers an enjoyable experience for those who are into collecting monsters to partake in turn-based battles with. In short bursts, this is an entertaining experience that doesn't overstay its welcome. However, once the true grind begins at the conclusion of the story modes, then it can become a frustrating past-time to stay engaged with longer-term. It isn't the best "gache" on the market, but it is a free title for iOS and Android devices, so there's nothing to lose by trying this out. Note that it does require an active internet connection to play, unfortunately - so it's best to play this at home on the WiFi, where there is a steady connection, as Elemental Guardians isn't afraid to crash play-throughs.
The visuals are crisp, the music is great, and there's a wide variety of things to do, but unfortunately it veers too far into freemium territory to elevate it above other, extremely similar titles.
There are no bugs and the art department has clearly been working overtime creating a huge library of colourful creatures to unlock and upgrade, but this is not so much a game as digital pan-handling, whose sole aim is separating you from your cash. As the movie WarGames taught us, the only winning move is not to play.
