An outstanding game in almost every respect. A beautifully realized overworld and deep, tactical combat very reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Wonderful music, brilliant graphics, and an enjoyable storyline. The difficulty settings are also true to their namesakes as well. Easy will appeal to casual players, Normal should be just challenging enough for most players, us veterans are truly challenged by Hard, and Impossible may very well be impossible, I'll find out on my next play-through. It is worth noting that the items and units that will be available to you change on every play through - this means you can't know what to expect on each play-through exactly, but my experience has been that you can't truly be screwed over by this factor as some have stated - it simply means you may need to vary your tactics and switch up your armies as the game progresses to adapt to changing circumstances. All the same, I found that even on Hard there's no fight that you can't win with thoughtfulness and fight-appropriate unit selection. Some may find the storyline dry due to its almost entirely text-based nature, though frankly I rather appreciated the writing for what it was - even translated the dialogue is witty and engaging. Even at full price on Steam, I felt I got every penny's worth out of this game.… Expand

Armored Princess is totally addictive, if a bit quirky in its humor and difficulty curve. The genius of the game is that the limited numbers of units force the player to gradually change their armies throughout the game: from generally human-filled armies to mixes of dragons, lizards, demons, and elves. Thus the game never grows stale: certain units will complement each other, and part of the fun is seeing which five units can cause the most damage at a particular point in the game. A drawback to AP is--in my view--the randomization, which (though it encourages replayability) also means you can get extremely punishing opponents early in the game. (I nearly gave up on my Paladin around level 12 or 14; but after the early 20's, the game got a *lot* easier.) So: a completely gorgeous, addictive game that could have used a few more good ideas (having to constantly restock armies requires more micromanagement than I enjoy).… Expand

Awesome game, atmospheric, brilliant gameplay and amazing music score. I just wish there was a difficulty between Easy and Normal. The first one is far to easy and the latter way too hard, if you're not an old timer Heroes pro or something...

Wonderful world and epic story this make this game good, but add to this very entertaining fights and u get great game. The only disadvantage for me is that you cant play a quick scenario or something like that - only full campaign.

The first King's bounty was great. It still lives on my hard drive. It's everything that Heroes V should have been and wasn't. ( Heroes V was dumbed down. Looks NICE. Plays like crap. It's just about who has the biggest army, no strategy at all.) With King's Bounty, it's all about strategy... Armoured princess is even BETTER than King's Bounty. It's as if they took the first game, race tuned it, and let it go. Anyone who loves strategy should play this game. I've been playing nothing else for the last 2 weeks. I'm having a blast; every time you replay all the artifacts and troops are redistributed so you have to develop new strategies- you cannot play the same way twice, if you do you'll get ground down to nothing. The graphics are colourful, the game has never crashed in two weeks of continuous play, there are new elements of gameplay (Spoiler: Anybody like the idea of flying across the lands??) and there is an entire new creature set - the lizardmen. My Christmas came early !!!!! Thank you, King's Bounty developers... (PS Also give eleven legacy a try - another great underdog...same kind of thing, also very clever...)… Expand

Most underrated game I have ever played. Turn-based strategy RPG at its finest. If you are a fan of the HOMM series this game will blow you away. Be warned that it can be a rather difficult game, but that simply makes it all the more rewarding. Combat is very smooth and balanced. Many improvements from The Legend, but many of my favourite features were also removed.
