King's Bounty - Review @ Games 32, RPS

by Dhruin, 2008-10-14 23:54:02

Games 32 has reviewed King's Bounty with a score of 90%:

I also mentioned earlier that there are two types of quests: those given by the King, a.k.a. main quests, and all the other, a.k.a. secondary, or side quests. They are your "bread and butter", as the saying goes, and the rewards they provide will be invaluable. Quests can be obtained from friendly troops on the map, or by talking to people in castles, taverns and other locations. They are very diverse and can range from bringing several types of units to a priest, saving a boy from werewolves, or finding a skeleton its missing head. Often, quests will take you into combat with troops defending castles, or with "keepers". The "keepers" are the protectors of powerful artifacts, and have to be defeated in order to upgrade certain items, certainly an interesting addition. These fights are by no means easy, and extra care should be taken when facing the keepers and their annoying, spell casting towers.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun's article isn't actually a review but Alec Meer is Still Consumed By King's Bounty:

Finding myself, for the first time in at least two years, with a weekend in which I didn’t have an insane amount of work to do, I idly returned to crazed Russian RPG-strategy delight King’s Bounty, which is continuing to entertain me more than any game this year outside of World of Goo. Without quite realising it, I managed to clock up something like 14 hours of play over the weekend alone, which I feel awful about - especially as that’s on top of the 25 or so I put into the game a couple of weeks back. I haven’t been this bad with a game since the height of my terrible WoW addiction a few years ago.
