Do you like heroes of might and magic? Would you like a H&MM that has some humor and interesting takes? Look no further.

Feb. 2025

I have played all 4 of the King's Bounty games, this one was the most convoluted and I walked away from it for awhile but wanted to come back, I did find a few hints online which helped get over humps in quest lines but in the end I think this one has the most depth and creativity in story arks. I found myself smiling a lot ... I think this is my favourite of the 4 in the end.

Nov. 2024

Very rough gem, very unpolished, but enjoyable (although the lack of balance can be quite frustrating at times). Some annoying fetch quests, although my main grip was the spell avalaibility being almost entirely random (I finished the first 3-4 islands with only 3 attack spells, 1 only with AoE). The game is huge and there are some neat concepts behind it. It could have been one of the best KB games, a pity the devs had to rush it for release. All considered, I still recommend it to the KB fans, but be prepared for some frustrations.

Sept. 2024

Not as good as Crossworlds (baby dragon vs blackie) but good anyway.

June 2024

You can't beat the King's bounty series for originality and Dark Side is no exception. Particularly like the inclusion of a female character (who kicks butt!!)
