I had the pleasure of playing this game as a child. I grew up in the most experimental years of video gaming, cinema and entertainment in general. Everything became formulas since then... I miss gems like these. It's very rare to see even an indie studio trying out something as unique as this. Magic and mayhem is just unique.

Magic & Mayhem is truly an amazing masterpiece. The claymation artwork is amazing, the soundtrack one of the best ones I have ever heard in a game, the concept, story and lore are interesting and fleshed out very well (think of all those beautifully designed and written pages in the in-game grimoire). Each of these elements would make the game worth playing on its own. But the fact that they are tied in with a deep tactics system which allows for endless experimentation is what I think ultimately makes it so great. In many ways it reminds me of the original Dungeon Keeper. DK1 is also a game that screams "the people who came up with this were brilliant" at you every second. It's also a game that had a flawed and frankly ugly successor. And we're still waiting for a new version which can combine the best of both worlds. But at least DK1 is playable in more modern form through KeeperFX. Seems to me that in many ways the late 1990s were the epitome of good classic strategy games. Think of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for example, which basically ended the series (the sequels may look pretty but don't come close in terms of strategic depth). Some things about M&M that I think could have been better, other than the choppy engine, is the small size of the maps it supports. Even though the maps actually scroll endlessly (like they are mapped to a globe) so you never reach the edge, which is an implementation I haven't seen in any other RTS so far. The scripting language is also pretty primitive. Events are to some extent programmed sequentially, but they tend to only trigger when you are near a certain other character or in the vicinity of an object. And sometimes they fail to trigger at all. And because most of it is communicated in the form of text balloons coming from the characters, the plot exposition of what is actually quite an intricate story with many mythological and historical references tends to suffer. If only they were to make a HD remaster (imagine just taking photos of the clay models again in high resolution) with a better engine and scripting language and a new campaign... one can dream.

Wow I played this game as an early teen. A friend of mine told me about it and gave me the cd in the mid 2000's. I was completely mesmerized by the claymation style and remember thinking "what is this garbage?" when seeing the clunky and slow framerate in action. But I decided to give it a chance, and boy was that one of the best decisions I have made in my time playing PC games. The duels were challenging and creative, and the action was thrilling. I had to keep changing my spells and thinking of new strategies to win each region. No hand holding or pandering down to the player. If you got caught off guard the enemy mages would hit fast and hard and I would just panic seeing my inevitable demise unfold before me. I remember the feeling of running off into a new region trying to plan the best way to secure and hold mana sources. Also the absolute dread of stumbling upong the enemy mage early in the match and being totally unprepared for direct combat. I once remember spending over half an hour walking around an empty map looking for an enemy and the moron was stuck somewehere inside a building on the upper floor. So many good memories. Have you done a video on "the legend of sherwood"? That was an asbolute blast as well

Feel like buying it and reliving those childhood memories when I had no idea what I was doing but damn was it satisfying to create a massive army of summons and wreck every being that opposed you. Furthermore , finding out that this game is another creation of Julian Gollop only makes me respect him even further for his contribution to the strategy genre. Can't wait for Phoenix Point !

Absolutely amazing video, on one of my most favourite games at that! I've long thought that everyone has forgotten about this game, but here I find a new (from the last year) video on it. There are 2 things I would like to point out though: The game does not have a multiplayer thought internet, only through lan, which is a shame as the player vs player is incredibly interesting and deep. The game's systems really shine the most in there, especially with the spell loadouts system, where everyone have the same reclicks, but can make a different loadout to play in a different style, and to counter the other player. As a fan of RTS games, both casually and competitively, it really offers a style of RTS gameplay that doesn't exist anywhere else. The other stuff is the frame rate. The frame rate of the game is tied to the speed of the game. It is 10 frames only when it is played at normal speed, and 20 frames when it is played at "fast" speed selected from the options. Ofc nowadays those frame rates are abysmal. However today RTS games are also usually played at higher speeds as well, and thought many convenient programs (Cheat Engine or DXwnd) the game can be played at an increased speed, and also higher fps. I generally play it at double "fast" speed so 40 fps and I feel it works really well. Even at higher speeds, the campaign already offers the unique pause feature, which is more common to cRPGs, where you can issue commands while in the pause, instead of needing very high apm, to execute such things. Thank you for your great video!

M&M is an amazing game that I have fond memories of, thanks for making this to give the game some well deserved attention. I would say that it makes no sense at all to compare the engine to a first person shooter like Unreal and 2D graphics was the standard for strategy games, CRPGs etc. at the time. It really wasn't a point against the game since there was so little 3D in this genre anyway.

This is my first PC game, wedged deeply into my nostalgic heart. Every time I see other games get remakes, I feel disappointed because this game deserves it. For example, fundamentally, the game only partially runs on modern systems. You can encounter errors with the menu screen. Picking up scrolls that display text crashes the game. The in-game music is disabled. There are probably workarounds, but that involves diving into the back end and research; not user-friendly. I need a remake of this game.

now i had recently reinstalled the game (dont ask me where i got it), and here are a few tips, the framerate can be increased by modifing a file called prefs.cfg inside the CFG folder of magic and mayhem by editing this line 'MaxFramesPerSec=20', make that file read only or it will reset itself ingame, sadly going beyond 27 fps makes the game run extremely fast need for speed rivals style, the sounds effects can also be replaced as long as they posses the same name and extension.

I didn't know that you could force a framerate. Like you said, the game would run faster than expected, but it would still be playable to a certain point.

@@Indigo_Gaming also the music can be fully randomized, or customized by tweaking music.cfg inside the CFG folder, now the problem i found its that the music doesnt loop on my end, once it stops it stops.

I miss this game... Tried to reinstall it allot of times, though, there was a bug relating to modern operatign systems where a certain file connecting to the scrolls just crashed the game constanly. I really wish to play this game again... I've yet to see anything like it, it was truly unique.

You can fix this yourself. If memory serves me, you have to find the file that's being referenced and simply add a ' at the beginning at end of the filename. After that, no more error.

Played Nox back in the day. Diablo's black sheep cousin. Had some fun physics and rogue-lite multiplayer, might do a video about it sometime.

For something similar to Magic & Mayhem you could go with Magica, even thought there is less freedom it balances that out to a certain degree with the inclusion of multiplayer.

I can see the comparison. Magicka is a lot of fun, but Magic & Mayhem had a lot more versatility in terms of elemental physics and creature control. A mix of both could be amazing!

Kind of flew under the radar for most people, despite having a big name publisher like Bethesda stateside. A really interesting and unique title, though.

Cool to see that someone else appreciated that scene in The Darkness. That's never left my young memories, even though I didn't like the trench warfare parts or the attack mechanics in that game. Very average experience other than that one little life sim scene.

The installer for this game doesn't seem to run on my PC, probably because it's such an old game. Anyone have any luck getting it to work?

I eventually got it to work on Windows 10, but I had a similar problem, if the Autorun works but the "Install" button doesn't seem to do anything, some other app may be blocking it from running (as was the case for me). Try looking at the Wait Chain to see if the install app is being stopped by some other program: www.thewindowsclub.com/analyze-wait-chain-traversal Hope that helps!

Thanks, I gave that a try and it helped a bit! Sadly, now the blue installer window flashes up for a split second and disappears again, doing nothing. Might have to try a virtual machine!

You could try the Abandonia download, but that modifies the game to work without a CD, so you would be missing the music.

Sacrifice's lead programmer confirmed that his main inspiration was Chaos: The Battle of Wizards from 1985. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrifice_(video_game) . Tho this game looks like the source of spell ideas and graphical execution.
