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
