Nov. 2024

Very rough gem, very unpolished, but enjoyable (although the lack of balance can be quite frustrating at times). Some annoying fetch quests, although my main grip was the spell avalaibility being almost entirely random (I finished the first 3-4 islands with only 3 attack spells, 1 only with AoE). The game is huge and there are some neat concepts behind it. It could have been one of the best KB games, a pity the devs had to rush it for release. All considered, I still recommend it to the KB fans, but be prepared for some frustrations.

Sept. 2024

Not as good as Crossworlds (baby dragon vs blackie) but good anyway.

June 2024

You can't beat the King's bounty series for originality and Dark Side is no exception. Particularly like the inclusion of a female character (who kicks butt!!)

April 2024

The last in the Katuri engine series, some interesting story elements and dialog changing based on your character pick. This game seems the most rushed out of all them, or maybe done by a very small team different team. Lots of pathing issues, pointless fetch quests, weird balance(you can spawn demons and sacrifice to generate troops in this one). But still great turn based hex combat!

Feb. 2024

More of the same, with some interesting tweaks to the formula. My favourite story in the series so far. Genuinely funny dialogue at times, and I like how the quests force you to pay attention instead of just making you chase the quest markers around.
