King's Bounty: Crossworlds on Steam with pre-purchase?

They'll probably correct it within a day or so, and everyone thereafter will have to pay the new $19.99 (minus pre-order discount, if they have one).

I hope the developers don't get ripped off if it is a Steam mistake.

I bought a copy at 9.99, plus one for a friend, but I don't want to short change the developers.

The Legend is a pre-order bonus. So while they don't work together and you still need AP, it's just a little extra incentive for those who never played Legend before. You can apparently re-gift The Legend on Steam if you already own a copy of KB:Legend on Steam. Sadly I had my KB:Legend on Gamersgate, so, my Steam KB:Legend is tied to my steam account and I can't re-gift it.

PS. Are you having fun?

Hells yes I am haha. Looks like they fixed it so I might as well say it out loud, the issue I was referring to was that Crossworlds was not initially for pre-purchase, but simply for sale.

I posted something to this effect when I saw it, but then took it down thinking better of it.

It's not just the price that is wrong on Steam. If you buy the game, as I did, you can download and play it, even though it says it is not released until Sept. 17th.

It does look very interesting, although I can't find the editor yet.

You mean I could have paid $10 and started playing now?

In case you haven't found it yet, if for some reason you had it installed, it would be located at <STEAM_DIR>\SteamApps\common\kings bounty armored princess\editor.exe

You MAY also be able to access it within steam by going to Library, clicking on the Tools tab, then going down to King's Bounty: Crossworld Editor.

Thanks for the info. I did manage to find it myself when I was looking for the documentation. I also see it in the tools tab, although it says "not installed" there.

The editor looks pretty complex with very comprehensive documentation.

I played around briefly with the new campaigns, everything looks great. Looks like they ramped up the difficulty on the shorter campaigns, which is good. I wonder if they made the full campaign that is directly based on Armored Princess any harder.

yes. I am already playing it. Already finished defender of the crown campaign. Very short. I am a little disappointed. I was dead sure I was supposed to get to 50-60 levels with my hero. unfortunately that was not the case.

Lol steam fails... it says the game will unlock in approximately 6 days or so and you can already download and play the game lol... i wonder when they notice this...
