Comment on First Impressions: Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era is an excellent franchise revival, with an unfortunate art style that belies its quality.

Was Xeen the M&M setting with the explicit science-fantasy inclination? I’ve never played any of the straight RPGs, but I’ve trundled through enough wikis to discover some bonkers concepts in those games. Like, one ends with your party fighting through a dungeon only to discover that the dungeon is actually a buried space ship or something like that?

Yup, it's very clearly science-fantasy. Not just a buried space ship (there's another one in either 6 or 7 on Enroth). Xeen is a flat world with two sides - The Clouds and the Darkside. It was launched by the Ancients and there are two AIs / robots who are the real power players in the plot, even though they aren't as prominent.

  This unlocked an ancient memory of finding a space ship in MM7

    Yup, with the pits and the passwords that are the TOS crew.
