King's Bounty feels like a 10/10 game wriggling inside a slightly-too-wonky 8/10 game engine. None of its flaws are enough to dull the many pleasures of its impressively varied world, and the more time you sink into its meandering delights the more surprising the experience becomes. Rare are the games that have you muttering "Well, I didn't know that could happen!" after more than 30 hours, and the fact I could have written another 2000 words describing weird and wonderful moments you're best discovering for yourself is all the recommendation you should need.
Then there's GamingTrend with a score of 87%:
King's Bounty came out of nowhere and has secured a place as one of my favorite titles of the year on PC or console. While it isn't without flaws, I had an absolute blast with this game. If you're at all a fan of fantasy turn based strategy games such as HOMM or Disciples, King's Bounty should be a required purchase. Some gamers may bemoan the lack of a city management aspect, but I found both the overworld and combat mechanics to be so solid, strategic, and challenging that I didn't really miss it. The charming graphics, deep gameplay, and huge variety of both hero and army customization add up to far more than the sum of their parts. It's a shame this title didn't get more marketing and publicity, as it really is a fantastic gem. Check it out, I can guarantee you won't regret it.
And Fragland goes with a 84%:
King's Bounty: The Legend manages to interest enough to have a mild addictive influence. Despite the little problems here and there a positive feeling remains. The game may not be a top title but it's certainly worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the genre.
