Well, what's the concensus thus far? Yay or Nay?

Yes, it's very good. The game has been tweaked quite a bit, new spells added, new units added and in some cases stuff added to old ones. It's not a "lazy" expansion like with some series where they put together a few new maps and a couple of unbalanced gimmick units for $20. KB:AP feels like a familiar, but fresh, proper new game.

Playing on Hard (which means H-A-R-D), it's definitely shaping up to be a long game, too.

Much much smoother gameplay compared to KB:L. A lot less running around. And lots of improvements in the char development aspects.

The game is great tough for a mage its pretty hard, i cant imagine playing it even on normal without knowledge from impossible difficulty from KB:L ...
My normal mage in KB:L was mostly nuke nuke nuke thats all here its not possible

Nice. Thanks for the flipside of the coin. I realize this people that are here would be considered fans of the series so they're likely to be a bit jaded towards the game, but since I can read reviews like the one I did, this info comes off helpful to temper those reviews.

I suppose since I only spent $4.00 on the KBL and never finished it, I guess I can safely plop down the $35 on steam and give it a go.

Thanks,

It's fun, but I think the pet dragons are too "cutesy".

Also my complaint; and i've noticed a few reviews with a similar complaint. Kind of minor irritation but maybe there will be a way to tie 'em down in a future patch.

Do not forget that the game is supposed to be enjoyed from people of all ages. A child will find the dragon really cool. Grown ups may not
