Back in 1991 I played a game named “Kings Bounty”. Little did I know at the time, that this simple game would grow and gain such a following in the modern computer world. Well, now we have a new version of the game, and it is all grown up. “Kings Bounty Legions”.  The new Kings Bounty Legions is visually stunning, and the game play, better. In this game, you can grow an army, do quests, get rewards, and once again grow your army. What makes this game so different is the 3D quality of the battle scenes, and the ease of play. There is no base building or taking over cities in this game, so it plays more like Kings Bounty series of games than Heroes of Might and Magic for those who are familiar with the two after they split into separate series of games. So the game does consist of a lot of one battle after another, and the duel match up is flawed in that it will often throw you against opponents who are way too high of a level with little to no chance of you beating them, so there could be some better algorithm about dueling and the game not forcing you to battle opponents higher than 3 or 4 levels than you where you have no chance of winning, but other than that it is a pretty fun game and if you liked playing Kings Bounty Armored Princess or Kings Bounty The Legend you will likely find the game enjoyable. You can fight against random foes, or engage in PVP battles. Now, on Facebook, this is not something new, but this game does something many of the other’s do not. It gives you more choices, more control, and it does it like you would expect a paid, installed, game to do. Many Facebook games can get very boring very fast, but this game does not. For an internet-based game, the action and play is better than anything I have ever played online. Kings Bounty legions uses the Unity 3D Technology, which gives it the edge that makes this game so much better than the competition. One of the other neat things about Kings Bounty Legions, is that it is not restricted to just Facebook. You can also enjoy this game on Apple IOS and Android tablets and, Kindle Fire as well. I would highly recommend that you check this game out. You will not regret your decision. We are influencers and brand affiliates.

In the Navy, I used a magtape drive computer that was a step down from pen and paper. I later worked for a big computer company and after that, taught computer class’s nation wide. I had the privilege of teaching 14,000 students in a 2 years period of time. Afterwards, I owned a small computer training and repair shop for a few years. I have owned C-64’s, Pc’s of various types, Amiga’s, and even Mac’s. I now have included the android to my collection. At any time, I have close to 15-20 computers or combinations of computers and game systems in the house. I look forward to more. King's Bounty: Legions is a social, turn-based strategy video game developed jointly by Nival and KranX Productions. It is based on the strategy game King's Bounty: The Legend, which is itself based on concepts from the much older King's Bounty developed in 1990 by New World Computing. It is currently available to play on Facebook, iPad, Windows Phone as well Android devices. Gameplay[edit]The player controls a party of up to five unit groups, each group containing between 1 and several hundred identical units, chosen among about 50 different types (e.g. druids, knights, pirates, black unicorns, dark griffins, etc.). The units come from 4 different "realms" (Kingdom, Chaos, Ancients, and Beasts) and belong to one of 5 different classes (Warriors, Defenders, Magicians, Archers, and Healers). Unit characteristics are reminiscent of the old New World Computing "King's Bounty" and "Heroes of Might and Magic" franchises. The gameplay switches between an overland map where the player's party travels between "villages" following "quests", and a hex-based tactical combat map. In the overland map the main plot is fairly linear and relatively short. Aside from the main quest, there are some special quests and each village (there are about 25 of them) also offers a "daily quest". However, all the quests are resolved through combat (no riddles, puzzles or anything). One can thus say that the overland map is mostly an excuse to initiate combat. Tactical combat mechanics are very similar to long known mechanics (e.g. Heroes of Might and Magic), although arguably simpler. Equipment offers an interesting strategic dimension as defeated units leave various items behind, which can be combined into other items and ultimately serve to craft equipment for the player's party (helmet, weapon, armour, boots, shield, belt, etc.). Since the primary items one has at his disposal are in limited quantities, what pieces of equipment are best crafted will depend on the composition of ones' party (spending precious resources on crafting an "assassin's knife" might not be the best choice if you don't enroll assassins in your party). Aside from the solo play, there are also two types of "player vs. player" battles (one where the army is assembled by another player but controlled by the computer and a genuine "duel") which greatly extend the life and replayability of the game. To Nival's/1C credit, the game is about as well-balanced as one can hope, and player vs. player remains relatively interesting even for players that choose not to spend a fortune on in-game goodies and upgrades. |
