King's Bounty: Crossworlds Reviews

After so many years King's Bounty still one of the best TBS on the market. Basically, you love the genre you have the following options: 1. King's Bounty 2. HOMM 3 or HOMM 3 + Horn of the Abyss 3. HOMM 5 (never played but it seems good) 4. New Song of Conquest (bought, but haven't played yet) Age of Wonders and other 4X don't fit, so they cannot be really considered. Also, a viable option is Spellforce but it has RTS elements. Or some more 'tactic' games where you have arena after arena but it's totally different stuff. What I absolutely love about the game: 1. Old KB (HOMM) formula: mix of basic RPG elements with a turn-based strategy game 2. Fairy, fantasy, hand-crafted visual 3. Casual, silly humor and in some way deconstruction of the fantasy genre 4. Engaging combat with a huge variety of units and fun bosses 5. Absolutely gorgeous music that goes in a row for me with another Katauri masterpiece > Space Rangers! 6. A mix of graphics, design and music creates a vivid fairy tail atmosphere and a cozy feeling deep inside my soul :) 7. Spirit of adventure, princesses, dragons and pirates! 8. Strong nostalgic feeling. For me personally :P I played it more than 5 times for sure and after all these years, yeah, the graphic looks a bit poor and bleak, but only for the first few hours. After that, it's hard to leave this world of magic and epic battles! Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes the genre and who just likes slow-paced gameplay with nice visuals and pleasant music. You won't be disappointed!
