Arcomage Classic is a fan-made remaster of the Arcomage game, originally developed by New World Computing as part of the Might and Magic series.

This project is my tribute to the original.

Play the online version or download the Windows executable from Releases.
Note: The game is not optimized for mobile devices yet. For the best experience, play on a laptop/desktop.

Classic Remade with Extras

This remaster strives to be as close to the original as possible—sometimes even down to individual pixels. I probably spent more time tweaking tiny, barely noticeable things than was remotely reasonable (but hey, I love pixel art as much as pixel-perfect art).

While I’ve remained loyal to the source material, Arcomage Classic also includes a few extras for you to choose:

  • Music: To enhance the atmosphere, I’ve added optional background music from the Might and Magic VIII.
  • Accessibility Helpers: Optional features like resource indicators or generator icons can make the game easier to enjoy for more people.
  • Improved Readability: By default, card texts use a more readable font, but you can toggle the Original Images option to relive the classic experience fully. The game also includes an option to lower the FPS to mimic the original’s feel.

Why Arcomage?

I love old-school games and Might and Magic is one I played the most. I’ve always been drawn to the charm of retro gaming. A pure nostalgy, perhaps. Remasters that stay loyal to the originals hold a special place in my heart, and that’s precisely what I want to achieve with Arcomage Classic. From the visuals to the mechanics, my goal has been to make this remake feel like stepping into the tavern and picking up a deck in Might and Magic VII or VIII.

This project is the beginning of my personal journey into learning Unity and C#.

What I did create:

  • Programming and UI Design: Everything you see in action, from animations to gameplay mechanics. I tried to replicate the original to the best of my abilities.
  • Custom Fonts: I recreated two fonts from the original game.

What I did not create:

  • Game core - I did not invent ideas of gameplay mechanics, rules, and all that stuff - this remains exactly as in the original game. I merely replicated it in the remaster.
  • Media - All the sounds and (almost all) images are taken directly from the original Arcomage. I didn’t create those—they are the incredible work of the original Might and Magic developers.

I hope you will enjoy playing the game.
