Gorky 17 vs Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor

In 1999 NATO forces seal off the mysterious Polish town of Gorky 17 after a Russian lab is overrun by grotesque creatures. Lead by Canadian operative Cole Sullivan, a three‑person team must explore, negotiate and survive the nightmarish environment. The game blends point‑and‑click adventure, RPG character development and turn‑based tactical combat, all wrapped in a dark sci‑fi story with branching dialogue and atmospheric 3D graphics.

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor is an open‑world classic CRPG that lets you switch between real‑time and turn‑based combat, offering a rich fantasy setting on the continent of Antagarich. Build a party of four, choose from four races and nine base classes, then promote them through a complex hierarchy to reach one of 18 end‑game classes. The game features a compelling political storyline, memorable locations, a soundtrack, and the addictive Arcomage card mini‑game, delivering over a hundred hours of adventure for single‑player fans of deep role‑playing experiences.
