About this game

Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen is the fifth installment of the Might and Magic series. This time, the player controls a party of 6 heroes to save the Darkside of Xeen. The game is the completion of the huge quest that begun in Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen and also brings to an end the story of the battle between the star travelers Corak and Sheltem, which started already in Might and Magic: Book I.

The game uses nearly the same interface and graphics as Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra. Only small enhancements were made, e.g. that the player doesn't encounter any Non-Player Characters (NPCs) randomly but have to select them via a mouse click.

All over the gaming world, there are pyramids which work as teleporters as soon as part four of the series, Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen is installed. Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen and Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen together let the player create the World of Xeen which includes multiple cross-over quests in both parts of the game.
