This latest incarnation in the beloved Might and Magic series is a considerable departure from what fans expect from New World Computing. Having mastered both the RPG and strategy genres on the PC, the folks responsible for Might and Magic have set their sights on the action genre as well as the lucrative video game market. Their secret weapon to crack open these markets is Crusaders of Might and Magic, a 3D fantasy action/RPG hybrid that, if it is as successful as the folks at The 3DO Company hope, will launch its own line of sequels into the next century.

Features:

* Real-time 3rd person action coupled with captivating role-playing elements.

* True character progression: Drake will advance through multiple levels and skill sets, gaining strength, special abilities and spells as he goes.

* Dozens of monsters with a wide variety of special abilities.

* Vertex-based lighting creates true mood lighting, dazzling special effects and spells, and realistic environments.

* New non-linear game design: players can venture back and forth between dozens of different environments/levels.

* 5 distinct worlds with multiple levels and quests.
