If you're not sure what I'm talking about, the answer to your guess is always yes. The turnabout itself is fairly obvious if you're paying close attention, but to maximize the impact of the game's one master stroke no spoilers whatsoever until I say otherwise (we're there! Episode 7 has the game's one good kick in the ass). While this game's writing is pretty terrible, it manages one pretty awesome turnabout roughly halfway through the game. We also have room for a guest commentator in each episode, though you must have Audacity and Skype to join in. So don't tell me to beat a level never kicking anyone - I've tried it, it's retarded, and it's not going to happen. A caveat: If your challenge would make the game boring, repetitive, or stupid, I won't accept it. The first handful of episodes have already been recorded, but I'll be taking the challenges later on. Therefore, I will be accepting challenges to make the game more interesting. This means that the game could get somewhat bland if it's not spiced up.

You can! First off, full disclosure: I played this game to death when it came out and I can beat the game without ever dying on Hardcore quite easily, excepting a stupid bug or a stutter making me fall off a cliff. Since Dark Messiah is only 10 bucks on Steam this might be possible depending on how many people get excited. I could be persuaded otherwise if enough goons get together to hold a few games. I have no current plans to show off the multiplayer because it was stone cold dead less than 6 months after the game's launch. It did! It has much the same problems as the single player does in that it has some interesting ideas going on but it utterly fails to tie it all together. I'll be playing the single-player game on the hardest difficulty - Hardcore - and my brother from another mother TheLastRoboKy will be joining me for after-action commentary.ĭidn't this game have some weird multiplayer? Well, these easily pannable traits gave Dark Messiah some pretty bad reviews back in the day, and as a result most of you probably skipped over this game! I think that's a real shame, because while it's not a masterpiece, there's some awesome things done right in Dark Messiah.

Figuring out how to Fraps this bad boy was not a walk in the park! There's actually a ten page TweakGuides guide on how to get around the game's rampant stuttering and frame dips.

To boot, the game ran pretty badly back in the day, and still can act up pretty hard, depending on your system. The dialog is cheesy, the voice actors sound like they're being tutored in William Shatner's Overacting Master Class, and the story itself comes in such small spurts that you can forget what the hell you were doing sometimes.

The story in Dark Messiah is clearly an afterthought despite being a pretty major arc in the overall story told by Heroes 5.

None of this is really required to appreciate the game - as a matter of fact, you're probably better off if you ignore it completely. Dark Messiah itself is set a short time after the events of Heroes of Might and Magic 5, which is referenced in the game itself as 'Queen Isabel's War'. The game itself is set in the 'new' Might and Magic cosmology, which changed radically after Might and Magic 5. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is a 2006 'first person slasher' - one of the rare games that puts you in first person mode with a strong emphasis on melee combat.
