Play Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen Online

Game Overview

Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen is one of those old-school RPGs that just oozes atmosphere—dark, weird, and packed with secrets. You start with a ragtag party of adventurers (I always went for a mix of knights and sorcerers) and get dumped onto the twisted half of the world Xeen, where everything feels slightly off. The dungeons? Full of puzzles that’ll make you scribble notes on actual paper. The combat? Classic grid-based, turn-based stuff where positioning actually matters.

What’s wild is how it connects to Clouds of Xeen—if you own both, they merge into this massive, seamless world with extra quests. The story’s darker than earlier games, too, with this looming threat of Sheltem lurking in the background. Some of the spells and items feel downright broken in the best way (hello, Lloyd’s Beacon), and the soundtrack? Hauntingly good for a DOS game.

It’s not the prettiest by today’s standards, but if you’re into deep, exploration-heavy RPGs with a surreal edge, this one’s a time capsule worth cracking open.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
