Old school RPGer here, I hadn't played any in years, playing a bunch now, and I loved M&M X Legacy! from 5 years ago! Yes the replay value is in trying different classes, the added content is good. The developer released way before bugs were corrected, and there is a high learning curve, but it's updated now. All the negative publicity is old news, or from people at the bottom of that learning curve. I've played all the classes, I can't play again, but I also can't find anything as "core RPG" to play. The enemies weren't even notably outlandish, and it was still very appealing gameplay.

Might & Magic X requires no previous knowledge of the series and is a stand alone story. Players new to the series will find everything they need to know about the game while playing.

Harkening back to the series roots, Might & Magic X is a turn based strategy game set in the fantasy world of Might & Magic. Players are only allowed very rigid movements of forward, left, right and back while trying to traverse a set path that also only transitions to those directions.

Players need to design their team and micro manage their equipment in order to progress successfully in game. Food is need to even be able to rest, which means purchasing goods and managing them is a key part to the gameplay.
