Set in the rich RPG fantasy universe of Might & Magic with its diverse bestiary, Might & Magic: Showdown is a tactical PvP combat experience where you command a team of customizable miniature heroes and creatures to overcome your opponent by mixing strategic planning and real-time action in quick, bite-sized sessions. Build your team and bring the miniatures to life through a combination of visual personalization and programmable actions that will define your playstyle and ultimately bring them to the battleground for the Showdown![/quote]
I wouldn’t call it the best M&M ever, but it was a lot better than I expected (and it’s certainly one of my favorite games in the franchise). I would love to see a good sequel to it.
I don’t know what you guys are on about, this looks okay. That’s one boring box shot and description, but from the video it looks like a pretty cool recreation of a table top game, with added virtual living room and castle diorama. That’s one hard working announcer, too!

Once they’re in your possession, you have several options for customizing them: You can pick from pre-painted color schemes, automatically fill in different parts (armor pieces, skin, etc.) with specific colors, add highlights and lowlights, or pick up a virtual paintbrush and create your own detailed masterwork by freehand. It’s a system that enables an incredible degree of customization for dedicated painters, but also lets you create a uniquely cool-looking character with just a few seconds of tinkering.[/quote]
Far as I know they’ve always been worried about cannibalizing tabletop sales. I don’t know if that’s a reasonable fear or not but I absolutely will not ever pay their tabletop prices, nor do I want to assemble or paint the minis, so they either do proper electronic versions of their games (at a lower pricetag) or I for one will never touch them.
