Dotemu's next classic resurrection is the secret best Might & Magic game

A hand holds an axe aloft.

Canada's Capybara Games is a special developer. Its early history may have been work-for-hire but it's now probably best known for the magical Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery EP, and most recently 2018's Below. Before those two, though, Capybara made the best Might & Magic game I've ever played: Clash of Heroes on the Nintendo DS.

Published by Ubisoft in 2009, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes maybe didn't get the acclaim it deserved at launch (or the sales). But word-of-mouth saw its reputation grow and grow, eventually leading to releases of a slightly reworked version on PC and consoles (because the original game used two screens). It is one of the most characterful and ingenious puzzle RPGs you'll ever play, oozing smarts and surprises, and manages to wring more out of its central mechanic than you'd believe possible.
