Might and Magic Mobile is a console role-playing game developed and released by Gameloft for mobile phones (Java ME platform).

Story

For centuries, the world of Erathia has been devastated by a war between humans and demons. To make matters worse, the king is being held prisoner by the demon armies. The hero, Ewan, is sent to rescue the king by a mysterious nobleman. His quest will result in encounters with an elf archer, a captain of mercenaries and countless other friends and foes. The monstrous kidnappers will try to set traps in these hostile environments, but any hero knows to proceed with caution when dealing with demons.

Gameplay

You play the role of Ewan in this magnificent adventure, set in the world of Erathia. Many of the characters you encounter along your journey will not only join your party, but help you overcome some of the most difficult obstacles as well. Beware, some of those you meet will be loyal allies while others will not think twice before joining the crowded ranks of the dark forces. The 15 levels will put any player to the test; you will need skillful dexterity and much reflection if you hope to end this adventure alive. Keys must be found and riddles must be solved to open the doors to increasingly difficult passages. When land routes are impossible you can use your rope to hang from rings only a few meters above. As your journey progresses, you will learn and master powerful spells that can complement your sword. Together, your sword and magic will create a formidable force even demons will fear.

Reception

The game was very well received, critics praising the graphics, characters, puzzle and role playing elements, and sounds. The only major issue noted is the occasional difficulty of control.

Note: It was mentioned by a few players of the game that there is a bug in some versions of the game, where the player cannot progress by meeting the thief at night.

Legacy

Might and Magic Mobile 2 has been announced, with one of the screenshots involving the player riding on a very large dragon. Might and Magic 2 also received high reviews as again it was developed by Gameloft.
