While this kind of battles may be a bit boring for those of us used to real-time action, there's one thing King's Bounty stands for: its graphics. You're free to explore the game's universe at your own pace, but as soon as you engage in a battle, the game will change to a turn-based structure in which you need to plan your next movement very carefully if you want to defeat the enemy. The gameplay in King's Bounty slowly unveils a main plot while presenting the player with various quests, puzzles and mysteries. You're then introduced to a bit of historical background, but you can skip that if you can't wait to start questing.

So it's better to scout as much as is possible with a very small army, and then move your later, full armies only as much as is necessary.The first step in King's Bounty is creating your character, though unlike other similar games this process is limited to choosing any of the three classes available (warrior, paladin or mage) and coming up with a name. If you don't have enough income to pay the upkeep, troop stacks end up leaving you. Each search takes a week.Īn army has upkeep that can consume a sizable chunk - or even all of - a hero's income. Not all pieces have to be unlocked to be able to search for the Sceptre in a spot. Occupying castles that contain only monsters (yields gold and increased income if leaving troops in the castle)ĭestroying roaming bands of monsters (yields gold)Īpprehending a villain and discovering artifacts unlocks a piece oi the Puzzle Map. Smashing some villains in the face (yields gold, a bounty, favour with King Maximus which counts towards promotions and increased income if leaving troops in the castle) There are roughly three phases to a game:ĭiscovering passage to the three continents we don't start inĭiscovering in which castle each villain is holed up, as well as which castles hold only monstersĭiscovering suitable dwellings to recruit fromĭiscovering artifacts that aid in our questĭiscovering treasure chests that yield gold, leadership, spell power, an income increase or spellsĭiscovering suitable towns to buy spells in I count two votes and one maybe-vote for Sorceress, so that's what I will be playing as.
