Oct. 2025

Extremely addicting and this comes from someone who doesn't play any strategies otherwise. Lots of units, artifacts, spells and skills combined with the fact that each playthrough has a degree of randomly decided aspects to it (shop inventories, treasures, position of enemies on the map and contents of their armies, plus a few more) allow for high replayability. On top of that, I'd say the game aged quite gracefully in terms of graphics thanks to its visual style (I feel like all the promotional stuff here on its Steam page doesn't do it justice, plus for some reason recently the publisher updated its banner to a much tackier one as well), and the soundtrack is quite nice too, even if most of it comes from the previous game. Unfortunately, the game also has a few issues, at least one of which is impossible to ignore - the main campaign is REALLY long, taking dozens of hours to beat, which is just way too much for its own good. Unlike the previous entry, The Legend, that had a world map consisting of several bigger continents, Armored Princess/Crossworlds offers you to hop back and forth between numerous smaller islands instead. While that approach had its advantages, ultimately, I think it would've been for the better to fuse some of these islands together and cut a third of the enemies roaming them. Another (albeit less significant) problem is that the game's writing overall took a step back compared to its predecessor. While it's not terrible by any means, it often feels a bit lackluster, especially when it comes to main plot, which takes a back seat for 98% of the campaign. Despite the aforementioned (and potentially couple more) issues dragging down the game from its near perfect (IMO) status, it's still tons of fun and I can't help but to keep coming back to it every now and then, as evident from my playtime. I wish it wasn't such an obscure title, although it's been all downhill for the series since Crossworlds and the uttermost failure of the relatively recent reboot (KB2) buried any hopes for its future. Still, if by any chance you want to check it out for yourself, make sure you switch to the "Orcs on the March" campaign in the main menu, it's an expanded version of the primary campaign with newly added content from Crossworlds expansion (the vanilla version of the campaign is still in the game and as a newcomer it's very easy to end up playing it instead). I also strongly recommend Hirao's New Phase Mod on Nexus/ModDB, which introduces quite a few balance tweaks and adds significantly amounts of various new content that is really well integrated into the game. At this point I'm pretty sure I've played Crossworlds more than I have without it, plus it's actively getting updates all the time too.

The best in the original series. You don't need any of the others, really, unless you want achievements (only Warriors of the North and Dark Side have them). But this one has the best campaign (tied with The Legend, maybe), an editor to create your own maps and challenges and some extra content. This old gem aged really well. It's still fun. The setting, art style, the writing... All have a very genuine touch to it. Very old school and a bit goofy, but brings a lot of nostalgia. It's very easy to mod if you want as well. You can unpack the interface_textures file with any file extractor and edit a custom portrait, emblems, etc... The only issue I see with the game is that it's deceivingly linear. It looks like you can travel around freely but, while you can choose what units to buy and whar spells to use, you have to kill enemies in a certain order and the same happens with visiting new islands. This is all due to the leadership system. Either way, a really fun game to play. Worth at full price but goes mad cheap on sale (around 2 bucks).

June 2025

it's a bit shorter than the other King's Bounty games. 65 hours with the DLC. And it's the first one to have the island hopping as a mechanic, as well as many QoL improvements over the original. It's a good introduction to the series.

The two additional campaigns are bugged and would make your game crash constantly. I struggled a bit with finding a fix, but here it is: How to fix the game crashing on startup: Find the game.ini file in the game files. On linux it will be something like: /var/home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/63910/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Kings Bounty Crossworlds/ Open the file with a text editor aind the line setf ~cl_menu3d 1 Change 1 to 0 and then save. The crash won't happen anymore. Discussion where I found the fix: https://steamcommunity.com/app/63910/discussions/0/1620599015877733151/ You can also make the text appear larger (like if you play on a handheld) by installing a mod called KBGUI.

Great turn-based single-player RPG - holds up well to this day. Greatly enriches the base 'armored princess' game.
