47: This early 3D PC game is mostly an ego-shooter, but also an adventure game and has some strategy mixed into it.

1. Hint: As long as you have summoned a castle and it is still standing, getting killed will respawn you there, otherwise it's game over.
2. Hint: You're not firing weapons, but rather casting spells that you learn from scrolls you can find in the levels.
3. Hint: Some of the spells can later be upgraded, so a fireball can become a rapid fireball that you're shooting like a machinegun - as long as you have enough mana for it that is.
4. Hint: Some spells allow you to create craters and Volcanoes, which is quite impressive considering the 3D is fully software rendered (as in, not handled by a GPU)

Never played it, but maybe Dark Messiah of Might and Magic?

That's actually the only non-HoMM non-mobile Might and Magic title ever I've never played, either.

So no, not that one. It's also about 10 years older than that title as, like the last hint alludes to, it predates most 3D rendering GPUs.
