It turns out that Dark Messiah is at long last a Might and Magic game that does not disappoint. It has certain issues and while some of them are due to the nature of the game (overuse of kicking) most of them will be ironed out soon enough. The combat in this game is simply one of the best experiences of the past few months and the length of the game is reasonable (I'd say about 10 hours for a single run multiple endings and different classes encourage several play-throughs). Add the multiplayer and you have a package that will keep you occupied for weeks.
While the review at The Gamers' Temple gives the game an overall score of 64%:
With more action and more engaging levels and storyline, Dark Messiah may have been a great game. As it stands though, it feels like a demo in search of a full game or a game brought to market a year before its time. If you're dying to check out the game's unique and enjoyable combat elements then by all means do so, but bring a lot of patience with you.
