Developed by The 3DO Company, Crusaders of Might and Magic arrived on the PlayStation in 2000 as a role-playing game. It blends RPG and action elements.

It landed about 5 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 2000 include Final Fantasy IX, Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Among the 131 PS1 RPGs in our database, it ranks #20 by legacy score.

The series also appears on other systems with Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum (C64) and Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World (SNES). The 3DO Company also made Army Men: Air Attack, Army Men: Sarge's Heroes and Army Men: Air Attack 2 for the PS1.

What playing Crusaders of Might and Magic is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
