It's a role playing game with turn based combat. Basically you run around finding items, recruiting armies, and completing quests in a large world. Combat happens frequently and is resolved by using your amry to defeat another army in a turn based manner. Each unit has special abilites, and your character helps in these battles by using spells, spirits of rage, and passively with his attributes.

The game is huge and takes place in many different "lands" and areas. You can sail ships, take air zepplins to reach other lands, and travel lots of places. There are dozens and dozens of side quests.

It's an excellent game.

need to note that this is a genuine Role-playing game; not strategy game with RPG (leveling up) elements.

there are variety of ways to compose your armies and leveling up player character. the quests are full of diversity and imaginations.

the best game of this year so far, and we haven't seen a PC game with such charm and wit for quite a while.

i squeezed out enough budget to get this game....but so far i'm not entirely impressed..... personally, i wouldn't rate this game above many other TBS/RPG classics i've played, including Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on GBA. but that's just my 2 cents, of coz.

King's Bounty: TL is very similar to the Heroes of Might and Magic series. You control a hero character of a chosen class, recruit an army and travel a big overhead map picking up resources / god / magic items. Level up and get more spells / better stats / bigger armies. The only really difference between Heroes of Might and Magic and Kings Bounty is that KB doset let you own / build castles and you 'only' have one hero unit. It's a fun enjoyable game.

In the trivia department, Kings Bounty:TL is actually a remake of a very old game that essentially was the first Heroes of Might and Magic, or at least the game that 'invented' the HoMM sub-genre.

well, King's Bounty was released in early 90s. this game is the second game.

the difference between King's Bounty: The Legend and HoMM is that KB:TL is a role-playing game (even more so than the original) while HoMMs are strategy games.

in KB:TL we actually play a character, rather than recruiting heroes. the main story is progressed, unveiled through king's main line of missions, yet the whole narrative is an assembly of all the quests taken.

there's no strategy resource gathering here since there's no tower/guild building that sort of things! all the things gathered is for the player character's (and spoiler: family members') own ability leveling up.

it's not that the game "doesn't allow" us to build castle, this is not a strategy game to being with (there is no "allow or not" to speak of). we don't have one hero unit, we are that hero/player character.

hehe, you wouldn't rate this game above those you deem as classics, but does this mean that this game is "bad"? not as impressive as the classics doesn't make it a bad game right? and in 2008, this game is mighty good compared to other games released on PC.

btw, I haven't played those classics you mentioned since I reckon those are either no on PC or I simply missed. I cannot do that kind of comparison.

in the end, it's the personal preference.

yeah, like dnuggs40 said, there's a demo for you to try.

just make it clear again, this is not a strategy game (there're no resource gathering, base building, land conquering and such things).
