Story:Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic is a 3D role-playing / strategy hybrid. You'll battle enemy creatures and wizards by conjuring forces and developing spells from the magic laws of Chaos, Law and Order. This unique magic system allows you to develop an individual strategy for each mission, altering the spells and creatures you use in battle each time. Summon fantastic creatures from mythology-giants, archers, undead minions, dragons, knights, and much more. Your character's skills and abilities develop as the game progresses through items found in scenarios and experience gained from successfully completing tasks. Robust multiplayer support allows gamers to battle head-to-head with up to eight friends or computer opponents over LAN or the Internet, including head-to-head and team play.Show more
One of my earliest PC gaming memories. An interesting magic system with fun multiplayer, and an atmospheric and fully voice-acted story campaign. I even tracked down a physical copy but can’t get it working. Would love to play this again GOG!
I've done a playthrough of this game on my YT channel on the hardest difficulty. I've played this game countless times and would really like to see it on modern systems with a widescreen fix. I have a physical copy of this game but neither that nor the Abandonware copy works on Win 10 anymore. Hope it'll come to GOG in the near future.
