Pros
Pro No prior knowledge of series necessary
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.
Pro Old school turn based fantasy strategy
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.
Pro Hardcore gameplay that requires planning
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.
Pro Optional modes for extended gameplay
Along with the main story mode (which is the meat of the game) there are optional modes of play such as Endurance mode and a way to access all mini-games found in the story mode to be played at ones convenience. This extends the gameplay by allowing the user access to modes that are quicker in play or a side distraction to the main story.
Pro Deep gameplay for a match-3 game
The RPG mechanics add a lot of depth to the play as the player is able to not only upgrade their player but to collect new weapons and armor which requires some thinking and constant management of their player.
Cons
Con UPlay
As one would expect no less from Ubisoft and their horrible UPlay DRM, many paying players have been locked out of their game experiencing crashes upon startup.
Con Not enough of anything here
Customization is lacking, gameplay depth is lacking, QoL improvements over the old predecessors are almost nonexistent. Even if you enjoy grinding, this game lacks personality from start to finish. Even the old M&M games had free movement outside combat. This feels like hard work. Turn-based combat is one thing, but long, boring walks in turn-based mode feel awkward and unnecessary.
Con No multiplayer
A match 3 game that focuses on fighting opponents is perfect for a multiplayer game but sadly there is no multiplayer available, locally or online.
Con Broken and not supported
The android version keeps crashing and not saving progress.
