King's Bounty: The Legend is an adventure game with tactical turn-based battles and role-playing elements. In a fairy tale fantasy world of fearless knights, evil mages, wise kings and beautiful princesses the player controls a hero. Leading their character through the game world, exploring it, commanding armies in battle and accomplishing various quests can mean great reward or huge defeats.
Gameplay is divided into two major sections: adventure mode and battle mode. While playing in adventure mode the gamer controls their character in real-time. With several classes available at the start of a new game, the player moves through the adventure map seeking various treasures, fighting monsters and accomplishing quests tasked to him by the local stewards. Once in battle mode the gamer assumes the role of a war chief, leading his troops in tactical turn-based combat. Battles take place on land or sea, in dungeons or castles or even in some items! The hero himself doesn't participate in the combat, but can assist his troops by casting spells or summoning different creatures.

Reviews and ratings
Yes, the toy is already old, but I had so many emotions when I saw it for the first time. Talking stumps, an enchanted frog...
Pros:
- Plot. I liked the fairy tale story about a knight who saves a princess. Nothing over the top, but still.
- Do you want coffee or a secret mission? Lots of references both to past games Katauri Interactiveand in general.
- Domestic game. It's nice when our people make GOOD games.
- Soundtrack. The music is wonderful.
- Graphics. By today's standards it's far from a cake, but back then it looked quite normal.
- Well, the main plus, as for me, is the tactical battle mode, in which I spent a lot of time.
Cons:
- Same type of tasks, a couple of non-linear ones and that’s it.
- Random.
- Bosses. Or rather, 3. Few, very few, not even the final one.
In general, those who h… Read full
Да, игрушка уже старенькая, но сколько эмоций у меня было, когда я её увидел в первый раз. Говорящие пеньки, заколдованная лягушка...
Плюсы:
- Сюжет. Мне понравилась сказочная история про рыцаря, который спасает принцессу. Ничего сверх меры, но все же.
- Вам кофе или секретное задание? Множество отсылок как к прошлым играм Katauri Interactive, так и в общем.
- Отечественная игра. Приятно, когда наши делают ХОРОШИЕ игры.
- Саундтрек. Музыка прекрасна.
- Графика. По нынешнем меркам далеко не торт, но тогда смотрелась вполне норм.
- Ну и главный плюс, как по мне — это тактический режим боёв, в котором я провел уйму времени.
Минусы:
- Однотипные задания, пара-тройка нелинейных и все.
- Рандом.
- Боссы. А вернее всего 3. Мало, очень мало, даже финального нет.
A great role play toy with an old school feel. Beautiful graphics, interesting
plot, wonderful soundtrack.
Отличная ролевая игрушка в духе старой школы. Красивая графика, интересный
сюжет, прекрасный саундтрек.
