Monsters of Mican

As many have said, this game is the closest thing to a Might and Magic 5-9 game that I have been able to find on Steam, complete with paying a trainer to level up, tiered skills, and free movement in a handcrafted world. The game provides a great zero to hero feeling as earlier fights can be brutal with leveling/equipment having a profound effect on your group's success. The game gives you a ton of freedom with how you build your group and characters and avoids making unwinnable scenarios by offering a "repopulate dungeon for 1,000 gold statue" that allows some grinding. The tone of the game is incredibly silly with pun based names and creature designs that put the Dragon Quest series to shame. The sound effects are bare bones to the point of enhancing the experience (I love the fact that someone says swish for some attacks and monsters can sound like the Suburban Sasquatch) and work wonderfully with the atmosphere the creator has built. The controls can be a bit obtuse, but the charm of the game quickly overshadows any issues (besides the platforming on the Hotdog race minigame). The developer is incredibly responsive to issues with small bugs being reported and fixed within the next patch. This sort of game is exactly what I was hoping to find when I googled "Games like Might and Magic 7"

If you ever wished the specific Might & Magic games of the late 90s got some love and attention, this is the game for you. MoM is a nice breezy dungeon crawler that scratches that itch while remembering the humor present in those classic games. If you care about the genre, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

"Mom, look at this 3D baguette with a hat." "Maximillian, could you be a bit normal, for puck sakes ???" And so, Monsters of Mican was born.

珍妙なグラフィックとwiz8風のゲーム画面に惹かれて購入。とりあえずのエンディングを迎えたので雑感を垂れ流します。 ゲーム開始時に4キャラ作成しますが、初期から身につけていないスキルは後でお金を支払って習得出来るなどキャラ育成の自由度は非常に高め。 難度が高くて詰まった時のためにダンジョン入口手前にはモンスターのリポップを担当してくれるNPCも設置されるなど色々緩いです。また、宿屋なども宿泊料金は非常に安価。 なのでゲーム難度も緩いのかと思いきや、序盤は結構大変です。HP40-50ぐらいの時期にワンパン60や70のダメージで殴りつけてくる雑魚敵とかが出てくるので頭を使って対処しなければなりません。具体的には気付かれる前に全力叩き込んで潰す。 呪文で敵に状態異常をかけたり弱体化したりなどといった手段もあるにはあるのですが、最序盤はそれらの手段に乏しいので基本ははぐれた敵を先手必勝で潰すのが無難。そんなヒリついた激戦を楽しめるのが序盤です。 中盤ぐらいになると戦闘難度は落ち着いてきますが、リドルが幾つか出てきて場合によっては解決出来ないまま放置する可能性もありますが一部のリドルはPhase Doorのスペルで壁をぶち抜いてスルー出来るところが良し。 成長のボトルネックとして立ちはだかるのは「お金」。 Lv15辺りからLvアップに必要なお金の支払いに苦労し始めるようになります。獲得金額上昇スキルもありますが、しばしばとんでもない額の金が手に入って金欠になって…またとんでもない額が手に入って…を終盤までずっと繰り返すことになります。 アビリティの習得にもお金は必要なのでLvアップで全額使い果たすとアビリティ習得出来ずに頭を抱えることにもなりがち。 困った時はManipulation SpellsのPhase DoorやTeleportalが助けてくれるのも良し。 珍妙なのはグラフィックだけでなく、SEも「これ人が口で音出してるやつじゃない？」なSEもナイス！…ナイスかな？ナイスかも…。 BGMは良くも悪くもPS1の時代ぐらいの軽やかな？音質ですがボス戦などではしっかり盛り上げてくれるので良し。 ラスボス手前ぐらいまでいくと厄介な状態異常や一定確率で即死な攻撃が飛び交うようになるので回復役は二人は欲しいかも。 スキルLvを4まで上げるとExpertに、7でMaster10でGrandMaster、12でLegendになれるようになりますが、Masterから先は「本」を取ってくるように言われます。 Lvアップトレーナーとの会話で本がどこにあるかのヒントは出してくれますが…「お前、そんな所にまで行ったの？」って情報まで教えてくれます。シュール。 良かった点 独特のモンスターグラフィックは新鮮なゲーム体験を与えてくれた。 全モンスターが珍妙なグラフィックなのかと思いきや終盤の強敵は素直に格好良いのもグッド。 一部のリドルは解決しなくても強引に道を切り開くことが出来る呪文があるのもグッド。 浜辺のリドルを解くことで終盤まで実用に耐えうる強力な武器が手に入って快適に冒険が出来た。 メインストーリーとか関係のないサブダンジョンが幾つもあるのも良し。 気になるようなバグ、致命的なバグといったものにも遭遇した覚えがないのでバグ少なめなところも良し。(最序盤の溶岩でマグマの底に抜けたりはしたが) 比較的序盤から楽しめるホットドッグとのレースは最高難度でなければ兎脚のスペルを使えばさほど苦労はせずにクリア可能で、最高難度はPhase Doorで速攻かけてスルー出来るので嬉しかった。 悪かった点 装備品などの売却額が安い割にLv上げで要求される金額が凄まじいので装備品の売却＝不用品の処理みたいなところがあった。 終始魔法の火力が今ひとつだった。自分のキャラの鍛え方とか魔法の使い方が悪かったのかもしれない。 比較的序盤にリドルを解いて手に入れた武器が強過ぎてエンディングまで武器の更新が全然なかった。 モンスターのグラフィックに惹かれて購入したが、世界観とかこの世界で生きている人々は常識的だった。 総合的には、長々と続く内容ではなく比較的短いプレイ時間(15-20時間)でクリアできるノリの軽い良いゲームでした。 [spoiler] 以下、私が答えを見つけることが出来た一部リドルの答え [/spoiler] [spoiler] スフィンクスの謎掛け　loot [/spoiler] [spoiler] 浜辺のリドル　Summer Lanara [/spoiler] [spoiler] 図書館の主の名前　Vinkula [/spoiler] [spoiler] 盗賊ギルドの謎解き　Urn [/spoiler] [spoiler] 最初の溶岩地帯の切り抜け方　Teleportで対岸に飛ぶ [/spoiler] [spoiler] ドラゴンの像の謎解きは未踏破箇所の壁に向かってPhase Door [/spoiler]

I played through this about a month ago along with the dlc but forgot to leave a review. It's a solid dungeon crawler that even though on the surface looks silly and almost like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a game, it is very well designed and is incredibly deep with its mechanics. This literally feels like one of those weird games you'd download on a website like tucows or softonic back in like 2001 or 2002 that looks absurd but is insanely deep. Would highly recommend if you are into games like that

This is a fun indie game to play. The setting and characters are nice. Great job at making this game Blankitt Productions LLC!!!!

There's a lot of passion on display with this game, and I found the retro PC game aesthetics to be quite charming. I did find it very busy though, and often times couldn't fully understand all the information the game was providing me with. [b]FULL VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNl1BmcV__Q[/b]

Monsters of Mican is what you get when you take the gameplay and character building of Might and Magic 6-7, marinade it in Diablo-like loot gathering and then drown it in an ocean of endaringly silly humour with exceptionally mismatched graphics and music. The resulting game looks like a joke. And it is - pretty much every monster is based on a stupid pun: a flying sandwich with magical abilities is called a Sandwitch. A brigand with a porcine face is called a Pigand. Many a time you will roll your eyes at the stupidity of the puns. Of particular note are the sound effects. Most are spoken word. Meaning that when you swing a sword, the sound it makes is the developer shouting SWISH, throw a fireball he yells FROOOSH! It is absolutely and astoundingly silly. And I love it. Despite all of this, the game is shockingly good, even for a very old-school RPG player such as myself. The monsters may be silly, but there is a completely crazy number of different enemy types, each with different abilities ranging from attacks to buffs, heals and debuffs, with many encounters requiring much preparation and strategy to beat. Character building is also very enjoyable. Unlike the older MM titles, loot is mostly randomised and equipment can spawn with different properties, allowing you to bring a highly diverse crew into the dungeon. Leveling up is fast and enjoyable as well, making improving your party feel very rewarding. I highly recommend Monsters of Mican for fans of the old-school Might and Magic games, although you may need a somewhat silly sense of humour to get the most out of it.

Truly, this is the closest you can get to a new Might and Magic game. It's a weird, shaggy RPG with an eclectic and silly sense of setting, fun secrets to discover, and a careless willingness to give you outrageous and silly buffs because it would be funny. Yes, the combat falls apart about halfway through the game as your characters turn into absurd demigods -- and we like it that way! Like M&M 6-8, the graphics are a little wonky, the UI is messy, and it doesn't run great. That's part of the experience! I haven't run into any game- or even quest-breaking bugs, so don't let the presentation put you off of an entertaining time.

一款在各种意义上小众冷门且又画风有些猎奇的小游戏。廉价的音效、猎奇的建模、简陋的UI、各自莫名其妙的剧情对白，是我对这游戏上手后的主要感受。 关于玩法，本作《米坎的怪物》可以说是非常纯正的回合制DRPG，视角上以第一人称展开，玩家会在狭窄的地牢与各种怪物交战，每个角色都拥有7个技能配置，然后就是打怪爆装备刷刷刷之类的。 哦对了，本作还有一个最大的问题是不支持中文，且又极其的冷门，B站内外都没啥人发啥实况视频的，所以如果者想要玩的话，还得先问自己是否有做好英语词汇量的考量。就我目前的感受来说，本作很像是那种作者拿来练手游戏项目的小作品，除非你是纯好这口的，否则各种意义上的不太推荐入手。 [quote]关注「[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45580968] 月の赏 [/url]」[/quote] [u][b] 月揽千游，一赏知味 [/b][/u]
