King's Bounty - Detailed Q & A @ gry.02.pl

by Magerette, 2007-09-23 20:40:39

An extended interview with Dmitri Gusarov of Katuari Interactive, developers of the upcoming strategy rpg title King's Bounty:The Legend, is given here in English and Polish language versions. The session covers a variety of topics from game mechanics to sound and graphics engine, and places a decided emphasis on the importance of the role-playing aspect of the game:

Klecha (Gry.o2.pl): How is the development team balancing the Real-time/Turn-based Strategy with RPG?

Dmitri Gusarov (Katauri): Well, you see - King's Bounty is not a strategy [game], our game is a real-time role-playing game with turn-based tactical combats. There is one famous and similar game called Fire Emblem. You could travel around the map and then to fight in a large arena moving your warriors turn by turn there too. But nobody claims that game to be a strategy. All Final Fantasy games are based on that principle too. We run to a place we want to visit, deal with other characters, and when the battle starts we find ourselves on a special arena.

Klecha (Gry.o2.pl): What can you tell us at this point about how the single player missions will be handled? How linear or non-linear is it?

Dmitri Gusarov (Katauri): The story is linear, though as we said before it is full of surprises. So don't even dream about the opportunity of getting bored - we have a lot of things to be impressed with!

There will be plenty of side quests. Their mission is to offer to the player a chance to investigate the hidden locations of Endoria. It is interesting that you can receive quests not only from NPCs, "alive items" and Rage Spirits will also assign you some missions. They will vary from simple tasks when all you need is to make some delivery job to complicated quests that can be completed with different methods and cause different results.
