Once again the translation issue and story are the only major issue

Visuals and Sound are top notch and well surpass the problems with story development and translation issues. Overall, the game is a great addition to the world of PC strategy gaming and succeeds in being a great remake of an 18 year old game.
Gameplay King's Bounty offers a large amount of strategy/RPG gameplay from turn based battles to complete character customization. Its mechanics are very similar to those of the Heroes of Might & Magic series but always in good ways.
Presentation :The game's visuals are both beautiful and manageable for most any mid-range video card. The soundtrack provides a plethora of epic music but there is little voice acting. Also, the story is not very developed and there are key translation issues.
Value :At $39.99, King's bounty provides an expansive amount of gameplay and replay value to be worth this reasonable pricetag. The inability to have multiplayer is the only problem (Heroes has a similar format as well as an unparalleled multiplayer experience)
Fun Factor : I enjoyed the game thoroughly.
Tilt :This is a great game. It is worthy of being a remake to the original game and succeeds in separating itself enough while also having the right parallels to Heroes of Might & Magic to create a great game.
