King's Bounty: The Legend

By Charvel1 on April 30, 2009 12:34:49 PM from Stardock Forums Stardock Forums

I'm not sure if anyone's posted about this game before but holy crap I'm having a lot of fun with this game. At first glance it appears that it's going to be a clickfest like Diablo 2 but no no no my friends. Not sure if this one flew under the radar for a lot of folks but if you like RPG's, turn-based combat, easy to learn, tough to master type games, then this is your cup of tea.

Indeed. There's an expansion pack in the works too, Armored Princess.

It's good, I've had more fun but worth a look if you like turn-based combat.

Yup. Great game!  It slipped under my radar for a while too but was great fun.  The dialog translations are horrifically/humorously bad but the game itself is solid and good fun.  I really liked how the turn based tactical battles are implemented (and it's got the hex grids I like too ).  Recommended.

Yarlen and I are both playing Kings Bounty currently and enjoying the hell out of it.  Great game that slipped under the radar last year for me.

What? I bugged the hell out of you and Yarlen to get it up on Impulse, how could it slip under the radar

They are almost the same team who give us Space Rangers 2.

Amazing people, I must say.

By the way I'm asking for it on Impulse since september 2008. And yes, I mean on this forum.

It's available on Steam starting May 4th.

Space Rangers 2 was a good game as well.  I need to go back and play that some more...

Yes, five stars from me. I found some things to be annoyed about, but on the whole it is excellent.

Have to love a game that starts you off in the tutorial fighting a cantankerous Dragon. Then your fun loving instructor sends you up against a Necromancer and his army of undead.

What I found really strange was you may be a Warrior, but you never get to ride into combat. No, you are off on a hill casting spells, summoning things, and ordering the elements of your army around. In the upper world you ride around a beautiful landscape on a mount, but that's all you see of your Warrior, or Paladin, or Mage.

Good game though.

I was never that interested in turn based games until I purchased the original Gal Civ within the last year.  Nice break from the key smashing real time RTS games.

Bought a retail copy, not being familar with Heroes of Might and Magic and it's core similarities.  The game stands on it's own though.  The graphics, music, crazy quests (pulling a dragon's tooth?!?!) - it's beautiful.  We all need to keep a close eye on Eastern Europe in the next few years - awesome stuff coming out of there.  Though I am sure EA will get their sticky hands on them and muck it all up.

The wife and I both have finished the game. Wonderful game and I hope the addon comes soon.

This is one of the best games. Ever.

But anyway, I bought this expecting the latest patched version but nuh uh... The newly installed version is 1.65 while the official King's Bounty site have 1.7 available for download. Does anyone know if I can do Impulse's job and download and patch it myself?

Kicking myself for not using Steam...

They have to give SD the latest version in order for SD to add it to their servers. Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if you could patch from there.

If I remember right 1.65 is the latest you can get for the English (Atari) version. Which is what Impulse has. If you have the Russian version (I think it's Russian, then you can patch up to 1.7). 1.7 does not add anything as far as gameplay that I know of.

This is inaccurate. The 1.7 patch is not limited to the Russian version, but has long been available on GamersGate for the English version. (However, even if this patch is compatible with non-GamersGate versions, I don't believe it is available for download unless you have purchased the game on GG). That site also had earlier KB patches available long before the offical Atari site. GamersGate seems to be better on this issue than the US based digital download sites, though I just may have been lucky for the particular games I purchased. In any case, that is one reason I generally prefer GamersGate over the other sites (except for Stardock published games on Impulse, of course).
