“Это как "Герои меча и магии", только без пошаговости на глобальной карте. В ней незатейливый, но интересный сюжет. Повествование лёгкое. Диалоги в основном шуткующие, что никак не портит восприятие истории. Бои в игре…”

“Can't be arsed to review all the king's bounty games separately, so I'm lumping them all together under this one. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, they're all fun, but very repetitive so you probably won't end…”

“One of the first PC games I played ~15 years ago and it holds up really well even now. Pros: - Tactical grid-based turn-based combat was fun with a wide selection of units to choose from, each with strengths and…”

“[b]King's Bounty: The Legend[/b] is by far my favorite in the series. It's so good. This year, 2026 at the time of this writing, they have improved support on modern PCs and Steam achievements are on the way. Nice to see this 2008 game getting more attention!”

The Game that brought us the "Just one more move, one more move…." addicting Feeling. HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC got 7 Parts and since today the new (old) one: OLDEN ERA. Second we have…”
— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“King's Bounty: The Legend was not a game I expected to enjoy because it's so different from what I was expecting.
