Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen is a 1993 science‑fantasy role‑playing game that continues the epic saga begun in the original Might and Magic series. Using the proven engine from Might and Magic III, it delivers a massive world, animated cutscenes, and PCM speech for an immersive experience.\nThe game integrates seamlessly with its predecessor, Clouds of Xeen, allowing players to combine both titles into the World of Xeen for an expanded adventure that was revolutionary at the time.
