Might and Magic 8 "Day of the Destroyer"

Developed by: 3DO-New World Computing (now part of 3DO)
Released: in 2000
Engine: A continuation of the traditions of the previous two installments, representing the peak of its development.
Interface: Now we have 5 hero portraits. The spellbook has been changed. It has become more convenient to play – everything has been refined to the maximum extent possible with this engine. Also, a wonderful feature called QuickSave has been added – now, to save, you just need to click one key... And now we also have the largest viewing angle – everything has been removed and neatly placed at the top and bottom.
Plot: The action takes place on the third continent of Enroth – Jadame. A cybernetic messenger of the "Ancients" – the Destroyer – arrived here. He came to destroy the Crag Hack and devastate half of the continent, according to his data. But, unfortunately, they had already been subdued during the "Armageddon's Blade" campaign, and now they are no longer here. But he didn't know that – so it's not his fault. The game is quite unusual – now we choose one hero for ourselves – the others will join us during the game. But besides that, we can even choose a Minotaur, a Troll, and later in the game, even join a Dragon. Also, in each tavern, there is an entertaining game called "Archmage," and by playing it, you can win a prize – in a chest. Since at the beginning of the game, the Destroyer destroyed everything and stirred up the elementals of fire, water, air, and earth – now our task is to restore everything to its place, i.e., to pacify the elementals and help everyone: for example, drain the flooded Minotaurs, help the disadvantaged Trolls, deal with the evil Orcs, and help the Elves. On your way, you will have to unite everyone to defeat the great evil.
At the same time, you will have to unite some and destroy the rest. You will have to choose between the Sun Clerics and the Necromancers, and the Dragons and the Knights. Two factions from these pairs will unite, and two will be destroyed by you. In general, as everyone unites, you will eventually reach the Destroyer's crystal. There, you will have to fight crystal dragons, after which you need to play the game "remember the combination of crystals," and then we get to the "Destroyer's world" – the "Dimension between Dimensions." We fight there with incomprehensible creatures and thunderers, and then we come to the lair of the main hero. Do you think you need to kill him? No, he will talk to you, and then he will ask three incomprehensible riddles, which you can easily answer after a little thought. And with that, harmony has triumphed. The Destroyer will probably fly back.
