Politically Incorrect: Load Up the Wife and Kids I’m quickly becoming a huge fan of Russian video games! I think this is because of the unique cultural context that comes from the Russian developers. King’s Bounty has really managed to capture an authentic old-world feel that is sorely missing from the politically correct, overly-feminized offerings of today’s RPG games and MMOs. I grew to love many of the folktales from Russia and other European countries.
As a child and teenager I used to haunt our local library and read every book on fairy tales from all over the world. I was very impressed by the European feel of the story arc and the quests. I do recommend playing with it off once you get the hang of how combat works.

It’s also a great way to learn how to play the game as the AI casts spells from your spell book and uses the chest of Rage which can give the beginner some good strategy tips. There is also a special “auto combat” mode that the player can turn on if they feel like sitting back and watching the carnage unfold. Words can’t express how refreshingly *fun* this kind of combat is after playing years of real-time combat in various video games and MMOs. You as the hero direct your troops and depending on the decisions you’ve made with your talent tree (again thanks to Diablo) you can cast spells and use the Chest of Rage at certain intervals. that you can control using a turn based mechanic. Each type of troop has their own abilities, speed, damage, defense, etc. Probably the most addicting part of this game is battle mode where you the hero get to control your troops on a grid system superimposed over a wide array of landscapes and dungeons. Adventure mode has you traveling about the world in Diablo-like fashion but battle mode has you face to face on a grid like battlefield with your troops on one side and your opponent’s troops on the other side. There are two types of gameplay in King’s Bounty: adventure mode and battle mode. Normally you fight against undirected opposing troops but occasionally you fight against mini-bosses and big bosses who are tougher and have better loot. As the hero you control the movement and decisions of your troops on the battlefield using a turn based mechanic. Depending on which class you choose, your troops will enjoy special bonuses and abilities via a talent system akin to Diablo/WoW.
You can choose a warrior, paladin or mage. Here are some of highlights of this game presented in no particular order: There have been many great reviews of this game which are far more comprehensive then my efforts here and I advise everyone to check them out at the news area of the official website. There is so much to like about this game I don’t know where to start…

This is the kind of engaging computer game that got me hooked back in the 1980’s and follows in the wake of classics such as Wizardry, The Bard’s Tale and of course the Might & Magic series also by Jon Van Caneghem’s New World Computing. This game is so compelling and addictive that I have stopped playing MMOs altogether in the weeks since it’s release. It’s a high fantasy turn based tactical RPG loosely based on New World Computing’s King’s Bounty originally released in 1990.

I usually don’t do game reviews as this is a website devoted to MMOs but one PC game that I have recently fell in love with deserves to have it’s merits shouted from the rooftops that game is King’s Bounty: The Legend produced by a Russian development company called Katauri Interactive.
