A faithful recreation of the original game that came out in 1994. The original was considered the best in his genre for decades. This remake is "only" among the best today and it's an extremely good 4X game.
Overall Master of Magic seemed like a good recovery operation of a classic. Starting the game, one perceives that there is no desire for revolution.
Master of Magic, a remake of the 1994 strategy classic, brings back to life a perhaps unjustly forgotten title, but responsible as much as colleagues with the most high-sounding names for having contributed to the success of the 4X genre. The work of the development team seeks and obtains fidelity to the original material but also presents unexpected simplifications. In any case, longtime enthusiasts would do well to prepare themselves for a long, very long journey to become sorcerer supreme, but this time in a mostly effectively modernized experience.
Master of Magic is an interesting remake of an old game that defined a genre. It’s clear that the development team loves the original and wanted to keep as much of it unchanged as possible. But the result feels old and might struggle to attract the attention of players who have not enjoyed the 1994 title. I grew up playing a ton of Heroes of Might & Magic, so I had a clear reference point for the mechanics and pace. For newcomers, the entire experience can be a little slow and somewhat bewildering. But for those who have a history with strategy and RPG mixes, Master of Magic will deliver well-executed classic ideas and tens of hours of spell-enhanced fun.
The Master of Magic remake is an ambitious project which, however, has never decided whether to be just a graphic restoration or a complete makeover of the original. It’s still a decent 4X video game, but nothing more. Ultimately, if I had to choose between the remake and the original one, I would opt for the latter without hesitation.
This remake is so faithful to the original game released in 1994 that it ignores achievements of many successful rivals released over the last 28 years. If you wanted to play Master of Magic with improved graphics and modern controls, this game was made for you.
3D remake of the 1994 classic with 14 races and tons of troop types and
spells. Few comfort functions, needs a lot of patience.
