Legends of Might and Magic, sometimes referred to as LoMM or simply Legends, is a first-person shooter game released by The 3DO Company in 2001 for PC. Unlike other Might and Magic games, Legends of Might and Magic is mainly a multiplayer game. When it was released, reviews likened it to a medieval Counter-Strike. Unlike Counter-Strike, however, Legends featured neutral monsters controlled by the computer. The game suffered from several flaws, including poorly-implemented melee combat, unbalanced classes, and poor artificial intelligence.

[edit] Game types

The multiplayer mode of Legends of Might and Magic features four different modes:

• Sword in the Stone: Both teams battle over a sword. Whichever team can take the sword out of the zone wins the match.
• Rescue the Princess: The good team must try to save a princess who is guarded by the evil team. This mode is similar to the hostage rescue mode in Counter-Strike.
• Warlord Escape: A player assumes the role of the warlord, who must be escorted to safety. This is nearly identical to the VIP missions in Counter-Strike.
• Slay the Dragon: Both teams battle in a map containing a fire-breathing dragon. The team that kills the dragon wins the match.
