Fans of Master of Magic or Heroes of Might and Magic will fill right at home with this game, since it is, at its core, the former made to look like the latter. While not at all original, then, this is still a truly enjoyable game. There are plenty of races and units to choose from, and the game looks considerably better than the games that influenced it. I thought the storyline was fairly original, and enjoyed the fact that it isn't completely linear (the choices you make affect which races you can control along the way).
