King's Bounty: The Legend Preview

[GameBanshee News]

GamingExcellence previews King's Bounty, concluding it "has a lot to offer to RPG fans"

The point of the game is much like any RPG: you must go around, finish quests, follow the story, raise your powers, and in general save the day. How you do this is up to you, however. Sure, there’s a main quest to follow, but the world is huge with a plethora of things to keep yourself busy with. Even though the preview build that I was provided only had one section of the world available, this one section had a few dungeons, a large number of quests, dozens of enemies, even more treasures to find, and opportunities that I couldn’t take up due to the preview build’s limitations.

The game is divided into two styles of gameplay: the first has you riding around the map on your horse, army in tow. This part of the game feels most like a traditional RPG, as you can talk to people to get quests, shop at various stores for equipment or soldiers, find treasures and other locations of note, and of course fight enemies. This brings us to the other half of the game: the battles.M/i>
