Reviews:

Computer Gaming World, October 1999

"While the developers clearly worked to make the background plot more relevant and involving in this episode of the series, Might and Magic VII is still primarily a hack-and-slash game, at least in comparison to more story-driven RPG fare such as the Fallout games. Gameplay essentially consists of stomping monsters in order to gain enough experience points for your characters to evolve to god-like levels."

"In spite of the lack of groundbreaking improvements, For Blood and Honor is definitely a high point for the Might and Magic series. Although the game is still very combat-intensive (even for a role-playing game), there aren't as many creatures to contend with as there were in Might and Magic VI. Battle-adverse games can take advantage of the new spells and skills that allow gamers to minimize fighting and enjoy other activities.

"The game has been well designed with varied environments and lots of little rewards for diligent explorers. The development team has even thrown in an enjoyable, although not particularly challenging, Magic the Gathering-type card game. Although the game's dated graphics and rigid interface may limit its appeal beyond fans of the genre, the fact that virtually every aspect of Might and Magic VI has been improved upon should more that satisfy fans. All told, Might and Magic VII is a strong installment in a great RPG series."
