What happened to this game? Worse than AP/CW in every aspect.

[DGDobrev]

Now you know why many dedicated KB players (myself included, I must have clocked over 500 hours in it) who bought all the games since KBTL felt downright disappointed and maybe a little betrayed by this release. The game is utterly repetitive in the beginning, easy when you set up your ideal squad and boring towards the end.

I am so sorry for this franchise. After brilliant games that really put the player through hell like KBAP and KBCW, this successor looks like a poorly thought out offspring. I guess all we can do now is hope for it to return to its former glory.

betrayed isnt' really the word I would use... I think disappointed would be better way to express it. Disappointed because it was not as good (much less an improvement) but also disappointed because it is probably the last incarnation.

Expected much better (improved) game.
It's definitely time for "King's Bounty II"
I will stick to the AP/CW in meantime.

So sad and so true, after hundreds of hours playing and enjoying Legend and AP on Impossible, this game is an abomination relative to them. Filled with bugs no matter what version you use, forcing you to use the same units, forcing you into fights, forcing you into a very linear plot where you have no freedom or input, like some zombie. I feel betrayed as well, best that this trash was never released.

I disagree with you

Like every kings bounty game if you save/reload scum they all become easy

If you use exploit circles (infinite mana/rage/resurrections circles) rune mages + paladins) it becomes easy

If you play without exploits and save/load scumming from the beginning it is a very challenging game and gold becomes an issue

So....,sorry for posting at 2 threads and my bad english,but is the game bugfree enough to play yet,is everything in oder?can someone confirm?

[jake21]

The game is relatively bug free in that it doesn't crash and most quest complete (I think when I played I had 2 broken quest and 2 undiscovered quest); some would argue that the balance is a bit buggy and some spells should be tweaked but that a matter of opinion (my personal opinion is the game is incredibly easy by the end but can be very hard near the start - esp on impossible).
-
Having said this the game can be played to completion and while it is very long I did not find it nearly as much fun as the preivous two (legend and orcs). In fact it is doubtful I woudl play this game a third time (played it twice as two of the three classes). I simply did not like the new mechanics, balance and that some quest (though a very small number - one specific quest - something about getting paper) remain broken.
-
I simply find the first two more enjoyable - I think they made a mistake removing so many item slots among some other things - to be honest I would like the game a little shorter with significantly improved balance - a wee bit easier at the start and harder at the end.

I hope i have answered your question without too much text.
