King's Bounty: Armored Princess

I played this game for 200 hours before and had to play it again once it got achievements. I played Kings Bounty: CW for over 400 hours previously and am waiting to play it again once it gets achievements!

Nearly as good as the MS-DOS version was for its time. This is high praise. For the record I still play the DOS version occasionally.

Added achievements, but forgot for balance... - Impossible level of difficulty could be really impossible, especially with no loses challenge. - This KB is not for a mages, chaotic spells are weak, I'd rather wipe my ass with useless Armageddon spell scroll than waste crystals to learn it! Summons are weak as well. - To win a game for the mage, with no loses, some battles will require replays until luck will follow you. Almost all high level heroes spamming a GAYZER! - Bosses are not for the mage either, only physical equipment with paladins/knights combination works! - Random is so random, I've found meteor shower on 15th day and some equipment to finalize sets, you guess... found NEVER! Some of them could make a game a LITTLE simpler! Hardcore as result of disbalance...

It's pretty fun, but I can't in good consciousness recommend this to anyone that is actually interested in completing games. The fundamental problem is that the game really is just the same thing over and over. You find a battle you can complete with acceptable losses, then you repeat. It drags on too long. I had previously played "King's Bounty: The Legend" and I was hoping this one had better balance, and it does, but not enough to make the game worth playing. I think one of the fundamental problems is that obtaining higher troop counts requires more leadership, but troops have diminishing returns the more you get, so if you have 10 troops and get enough leadership to get 11 troops then you are only getting a 9% increase, if you have 100 troops and can finally get 101 you'd get less than 1% increase in power. Meanwhile leadership grows linearly so it's a long time before you can get enough troops for it to actually matter, so you never feel powerful. You always feel like you are just making it by. While I don't like the progression, the game is balanced around it, so I can't say it's a flaw per se, but it just drags on too long. Apparently I've only played for 15 hours, but I d…

Amazing game

Great game but achievements dont work at all
