3,5 stars but still enjoyable game
Since my first experience was with sixth game, I see the eight episode as a bit mediocre. Day of the Destroyer is VERY easy compared to the two previous games (the dungeons here are for laugh only) and the another change of the rules and character creation made me even less happy. In sixth episode you could choose only from human race, but you had six classes to pick from. There was eight classes and four races in seventh game, but now race means class, so you have to choose between night elf, necromancer, knight, minotaur and vampire...
Probably the most interesting aspect of the game is that you can hire up to four dragons as your companion (it's the only race you can't pick at the start) and you can play Arcomage from the very begining. On the other hand, if you want to collect treasure from the obelisc riddle, you have to wait until one specific day in the year and if you miss it, you have to wait.
I have to admit that the graphic is better than the previous game and the music is still beautiful (maybe slightly less memorable than the previous soundtracks).
Final verdict: great for less experienced gamers who want to get into Might and Magic saga, not so great for those who already played the previous games.
