What the critics said
Charles Ardai reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra is a stunning new implementation of venerable concepts that should please the majority of its intended audience."
— Computer Gaming World, 1992
Reviewing the SNES version, Mike Weigand of Electronic Gaming Monthly said it was "a decent RPG with... a solid story line and excellent music, but the interface is poor. Although the scrolling is true to PC, the step-by-step frame can get to you after a while."
— Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1995 (Mike Weigand)
The editors called it "one of role-playing's most engrossing adventures."
— PC Gamer, 1994
