King's Bounty: Warriors of the North Reviews

Fun game

[h3]Almost the same as "Heroes of Might and Magic", the noticeable difference is literally that on the global map movement is not in turn-based mode.

Don't bother buying it - it keeps randomly crashing when loading, clicking, or even rotating the screen.

It's a tactical RPG that plays like Heroes of Might & Magic, but without a strategic layer. It's a third game on this engine, so it's polished, refined, and it's quite good. I couldn't finish it because there's so much game in there, and it's not a kind of game you can put down and continue later. But of course I don't feel cheated because I had a great time with this game, and you will too if you have any interest in tactical fantasy games. It's easy to like: generic fantasy world looks good, if a little unimaginative and too similar to Warcraft aesthetics. It sounds fine, it plays well. It's silly - eventually you take armies of thousands into fights in a tavern basement - but the game never pretends to not to be silly, the tone is close to a Discworld book.
