King's Bounty: The Legend has made its way into maybe one of my favourite games of all time. The premise is simple. You are a treasure searcher for the king, and go out into the world, building your army, solving problems, and fighting stacks of enemies in turn based grid combat, much like Heroes of Might and Magic, but with real time world exploration in a single player campaign. There are many different unit types to choose from, from Pirates and Peasants, to Demons and Dragons, and a wide array of items to collect and strengthen not only your character, but different unit types too. Part of what makes that fun is that unit placements and item spawns are randomised a little each game, so you may not be able to buy a stack of Demons or Necromancers in the same place or even same quantity between different games. While there are many quests along the way, and different realms to explore, the main focus is on combat. You will be fighting a lot, and it's not unfair to say that it can get repetitive. However, I think due to the above randomness, limited availability of units, and sometimes tough fights that can whittle down your army, I think there's enough variety to keep you going if you really can get into the turn based gameplay. The music is memorable, and so are the locations, and it's all presented with a charming cartoon miniature sort of aesthetic. Like if Warcraft 3 was brighter, and had somewhat larger and better looking models. The game can be quite tough from the beginning when you're just figuring it out, but once you understand the underlying stats, strengths and weaknesses, unit placements to better deal damage or avoid it, and manage your resources like mana and rage, you can eventually breeze through tougher and tougher fights. There are some tougher fights towards the end, and at certain points mid game, but it's nothing a different unit composition and/or levels and gear can't overcome. Overall, I'd say give it a look if you're into turn based RPGs. If you can deal with the combat and not get bored, then you'll have a game that will last you a long time for even one run, and maybe have something you can come back to for a different challenge after the first playthrough

As a native russian speaker, this game has a lot better feel in russian language, than it has in english (and I would usually vomit, rather than admit anything good about russian culture, because how I grew to despise it) Anyway, I think many would agree that this is a legendary game nonetheless. Perhaps a tedious slog, perhaps repetitive, yes, you might not have the patience to finish it, espesially on the impossible difficulty, but the game's general feel and atmosphere is something that just settles in your heart deeply as a fairy tale, maybe naive, maybe stupid, maybe you are causing a mass genocide under the disguise of an epic beautiful tale, beautiful music and graphics. But I don't know, I might not want to play it often, but I think it is one of the greatest games of all times.

I recently went back to play this game after not playing since it first came out. Considering it is now a 16 year old game, it still holds up. The battles are fun. The looting is random for each new game. I'm currently playing on hard and it is just about the right balance of difficulty (and not too easy). The only bad thing is that it does get a bit grindy. I figured it takes about 20-30 battles per level. I'm at level 18, of the max 30, which means I fought around 500 battles and I'm only about half way through. Overall tons of fun.

I absolutely LOVE this game. The original King's Bounty from the dawn of the video game era was what inspired the Heroes of Might and Magic series, another favourite title. This "contemporary" (although it is almost 20 years old at this point) take on the KB formula is brilliantly done. The art style, music, animation, is absolutely gorgeous for a game that old. The story is okay, even though a bit of a generic high fantasy, but this game is captivating with it's nuanced strategic gameplay. It is a first installment of a series, KB: Crossworlds (or Armored Princess) being the next one, building on all what was good in the Legend. But I would not recommend skipping it, as it has some unique mechanics of it's own. Thoroughly enjoyable experience even almost 20 years later. The only thing you might want to get is a widescreen fix, as it doesn't support it.
