Drake once lived a peaceful and happy life in his village. He never bothered anyone, and he never wanted to be a hero. Suddenly, an army of the undead, led by Necros, destroyed Drake's village. Unable to do anything, Drake left the ruins of the village and became a merchant. Several years later, while selling swords and shields, Drake gets caught in the Crusade, an uprising of noble spirits who are out to destroy Necros and his army of the undead. Take control of Drake as he joins the Crusade. Run, jump and climb through 3D environments as Drake destroys Necros's legions with swords, axes, maces, and a little magic. Will Drake survive to fight Necros, or will he try to leave the Crusade at his first opportunity? Play CRUSADERS OF MIGHT AND MAGIC and discover what happens.

Much better than the PC version. While it feels more janky to control and move than the PC version, which used (I presume) the Requiem Avenging Angel engine, this feels much more pleasing to look at, much more finished and doesn't have too much annoying backtracking. I adore its dark-ish atmosphere and overall mood. It could've been one of those "hidden action adventure gems from the late90s-early00s" but it is not really because the gameplay is still tedious and unfair, rather than challenging. It also isn't connected to the NWC Might and Magic universe and feels like a generic fantasy. Only things like the opening made by the same CGI team who did cutscenes for Heroes3/Might and Magic 7 etc. somehow connect it... a little bit

I have not had a great experience with the "Might & Magic" series. Don't remember much about this game except thinking of it as a piece of trash...if the lack of a game portrait on this site means anything, it isn't worth remembering.
