Dark Messiah of Might and Magic needs a remaster more than any other game

I’ve been pondering for some time now that Dark Messiah of Might and Magic truly deserves a well-done remaster. The game featured remarkable combat mechanics, including environmental kills and physics-based fighting, which were really ahead of its era. Additionally, the magic system was exciting with various spell combinations available.

While the graphics were stunning back in 2006, they appear quite outdated today. Updating the visuals and addressing some of the bugs from the initial release could offer a fantastic experience for both long-time fans and newcomers alike. This game never received the acknowledgment it should have when it was originally launched.

What are your thoughts? Do you know of any other classic games that might be more deserving of a remaster than this one? I’d love to hear your opinions on which overlooked titles should be modernized for today’s platforms.

Dark Messiah was so underrated. That kick mechanic alone made it worth playing. I remember spending way too much time just booting enemies off cliffs and into spikes. The whole physics system felt revolutionary at the time. Really wish more games would steal those ideas instead of just giving us another generic sword swinging simulator.

Totally! The environmental kills were the best part. It’s a blast to send enemies flying.

The magic combos in that game were incredible. Mixing fire and telekinesis to launch flaming objects at enemies never got old.

That game had some of the most satisfying melee combat ever made. The rope dart was amazing too.
