*Warning: spoilers* What a wonderful game!
King’s Bounty: Armored princess is a fantastic sequel to The Legend. It has the same play style, a new story line that follows up The Legend perfectly and is full of new features, creatures, and tweaks in the game.
The story is great. Once again it is a classic fairy tale where you must save the world from an evil tyrant, but it is still interesting and always made me wonder what will happen next. The different areas or islands you can visit in your own order is also a good idea and gives the game some freedom. You could still visit continents in The Legend but here, the choice is simply more spread out.
The graphics are the same as King’s Bounty: The Legend but are still nice to look at, even today. The music has some new tracks and like I said in my review about King’s Bounty: The Legend, it is beautiful. Twenty points to the auditory department.
The new tweaks in the game work very well. The locations of merchants and castles are now displayed on your map, so you know what to search for and on the mini map, small stars indicate goodies. But the best feature of all: Flying! No more walking trough the same long path again to reach your destination, just fly over it!
Like always with the King’s Bounty series, the difficulty of this game is legendary.
People say that this game is easier and more balanced then the first one. At first, I called bullsh!t. Every battle apart from the begin island Debir was a 90% troop loss and I needed to restock my army every time. Any enemy was lethal or invincible and I doubted if I could finish this one. With tactics, picking my fights wisely and trying to get as many leadership banners and side quests done as possible, I made progression. When I reached level 35, the game got much easier. This is because I got a lot of defense and attack upgrades, much more leadership and some nice goodies to help me in my quest. I managed to reach level 53 and the last part of the game was no problem for me. But I learned my lesson. If you screw up from the beginning (out of money or troops), do not even try, start again. So, in the end, this one is indeed easier and more balanced then the first game. Still, it is ridiculously hard.
The battles where intense and the boss battles epic. I enjoyed all of them! Sure, it gets a little repetitive over time, but I do not mind. The fights can be won in many different ways, it is fun to experiment with the right tactics for each fight.
In short, this game is an excellent sequel to King’s Bounty: The Legend and I think I found It ever better.
I would surely recommend this game.
