Big Bottom Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Hello friends, have any of you played the game King's Bounty? It seems to be a fun thing. I will be buying this when it is released. Also, it seems to be quite funny. It reminds me of Warcraft and Heroes of Might and Magic. Good times BB The best flash game ever!
Pidesco Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I played the demo and it seemed all kinds of awesome. I just haven't bought it yet due to money and time constraints.

Aristes Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Link! I've been buying games like a mad fool lately. Well, I do everything like a mad fool, but I might buy it. This is especially true if it's got some good turned based fantasy strategy like HoMM.

Magister Lajciak Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 The game seems to be garnering excellent reviews: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/battle-lord/912879p1.html I will have to buy the game some time soon.
Magister Lajciak Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Here is a link to the free demo of the game: http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=55729
Magister Lajciak Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I will be buying this when it is released. It has already been released.
Magister Lajciak Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Has anobody played the demo or the game itself yet? I have not had the time to do so yet myself.
mrmud Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Im playing the full game (bought it from gamersgate) and its quite excellent. You really do have to enjoy the turn based combat from the Heroes of Might and Magic series to appreciate it though.

You really do have to enjoy the turn based combat from the Heroes of Might and Magic series to appreciate it though. I definitely do enjoy Heroes and Might and Magic, notably HoMM 3 and HoMM 5. I will definitely try the demo when my schedule clears up a bit in the next few days and almost certainly get the full game thereafter.
Big Bottom Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 No release in my country (UK) so far but I have it on preorder. If you like HoMM I can almost guarantee you'll love this game. It's basically the same with much better presentation, fun quests on a real-time map and much more interesting character development, there being only one hero available. Sorry for the excess of 'y's in my title. BB The best flash game ever!
Zoma Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 thread bumped. This game needs more love and attention. Heck, even the codexers seems to love it.

Big Bottom Posted October 23, 2008 Author Posted October 23, 2008 I blame the appalling OP. The best flash game ever!
mkreku Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I absolutely loved King's Bounty on my old Commodore 64, but for some reason I just can't seem to find the energy to be excited by this new version.. Even though I think the screenshots look awesome. Odd. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Magister Lajciak Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I absolutely loved King's Bounty on my old Commodore 64, but for some reason I just can't seem to find the energy to be excited by this new version.. Even though I think the screenshots look awesome. Odd. The game is getting rave reviews from fans of the old King's Bounty (which I haven't played) and from the HOMM crowd (HOMM is among my favorite franchises), so they must have gotten something right. There just wasn't any marketing for this game - what a pity. Given the positive reception of the game by people who share similar taste in games, I will be sure to pick it up - would have done so already, but I cannot afford to play a game seriously at the moment due to time-constraints. Maybe in a few more weeks.
Magister Lajciak Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I just installed the demo and have tried playing the Knight + the Paladin. The game looks excellent so far!
Tigranes Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Rise again, thread of the dead, and take over the worrrrllld! I finally grew my turn-based squad-combat itch to grab this for a nice ten bucks. Of course, it'll take about 2 days to download. Did anybody take to it here? I heard great things about it at the Codex. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Its an excellent game, one of the best I've played in recent years. Lighthearted HOMM type gameplay with colorful graphics and an off the scale addiction factor. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Pidesco Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 It's very, very addictive, quite funny in a weird way, repetitive, a bit unbalanced and overly linear. Play as a mage. Armored Princess is much better and equally addictive. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Tigranes Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 It's very odd. At direct2drive KB:TL remains pretty expensive, more so than AP. But at gamersgate TL is ten bucks and AP double that! I've already bought quite a few games this year, trying to keep it down. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Pidesco Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Hours of AP this year: 106.2 hrs (All in January, I believe) Be afraid.

Humodour Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Hello friends, have any of you played the game King's Bounty? It seems to be a fun thing. I will be buying this when it is released. Also, it seems to be quite funny. It reminds me of Warcraft and Heroes of Might and Magic. Good times BB I've bought KB and AP. I will be playing them when my new computer arrives.
Magister Lajciak Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 King's Bounty: The Legend was an excellent game. You will have lots of fun with it! I have not yet bought the Armored Princess and thus cannot judge how the expansion lives up to the legacy of the main game. I believe it is only available through digital distribution at the moment and I will wait for a disc-based version.
Giantevilhead Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 It's a great spiritual successor to the original King's Bounty. It's good to see 1C and Katauri make the most out of the license despite their limited budget. They've certainly treated it with more respect than Ubisoft treats Might and Magic.
