I wonder if this game is similar to the old King's Bounty game from the '90s. If it is, sign me up!

Based on what I just saw from the website it looks a lot like the King's Bounty game from the '90s, which is exactly what I was looking for. Good times!

Yep it's loosely based of the HOMM pre-cursor King's Bounty. It's also made by the guys who made Space Rangers 2.

I haven't tried the demo yet, but it sure sounds promising.

Bought it on friday. Bye bye long weekend. Can't say it's a perfect game but I haven't been so engrossed in a game in a long while.

I got it and have played for a half hour or so. Reminds me in a very good way of Heroes of Might and Magic.

I got sidetracked by Hinterland, however. I got Hinterland, King's Bounty, The Witcher, and Colonization in the past two weeks and I keep drifting to Hinterland at the moment. I like all four games though.

so is it a remake of the original kings bounty? that was basically HOMM, but without variable endings.

It's faithful to the basic concept of the original, but with a LOT more meat added to it (optional quests you can take, a lot more variety in units available, a huge game world, etc.).

Godzilla : What's Hinterland like? I noticed it on the Gamersgate page today when I was checking for the EU3 Complete Edition, and know absolutely nothing about it.

Bill Harris just put up a post listing his top 10 favorite games for 2008. His #1 game of 2008 was King's Bounty......

Dubious Quality: Favorite Games of 2008 (http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2009/01/favorite-games-of-2008.html)


1. King's Bounty (PC)
No, I can't link to my original impressions of this game because I still haven't written them. All I know is that guys who made Space Rangers 2 (one of my favorite PC games of all time) have absolutely, 100% done it again. King's Bounty is almost hypnotically addictive, and it still has the trademark wackiness of Space Rangers 2. Want to marry a frog? No problem. Want to see shamans, cyclops, vampires, druids, alchemists, polar bears, cannoneers, and grim reapers--in the same battle? No problem. Want to go on a quest to improve the quality of beer? You're in luck.

Plus, at the highest detail settings, this is the most vibrant game world I've ever seen. Flags wave, rabbits and squirrels run across your path, fish swim in streams, butterflies flit about, birds fly past--it's magical.

Here's the best analogy I can think of to describe how this game plays. You're nine years old and it's the day after Halloween. You leave your house to walk to school, and you see a piece of candy on the ground. A few feet past that is another. You start following this trail (some kid's treat bag must have split enough for candy to leak out) and putting candy in your pockets. Before long, your pockets are full of candy, but up ahead, there's still more candy.

This trail of candy, as far as I can tell, stretches on forever.
