This game does not include multiplayer mode and could use some better tutorial materials. It’s best to navigate around enemies until you build up a strong, battle ready army while exploring every area then acquiring a wide range of items and personnel (otherwise plan on some backtracking). You should also explore indicator options to properly gauge enemy strength before engaging them in battle. Also, careless grammatical errors and computer installation issues should be considered, but won’t be enough to deter you from experiencing this incredibly deep RPG. After experiencing some initial Vista issues, the game patch I received late last month (1.6.5) eliminated nearly every issue while adding some enhanced gameplay elements. The onscreen text is full of typos, but readers cna tsill udnerstadn it… and even be entertained by it.
Travel can be slow at times, which increases game time. The default “get everything you can” strategy does not work when your equipment inventory fills up with items and even family….yes, you can also marry a wife and have children in this game, which, predictably, open up different bonuses. Side quests, special chests and even nanotechnology factor into the game as well. The basic storyline could use some enhancements while teleport points and map markers would improve down time and navigation. Look for the planned King's Bounty: The Armored Princess expansion pack in the first quarter of 2009.
King's Bounty: The Legend is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for drug reference, language and mild fantasy violence.
