Thoughts on the King's Bounty games?

I love them, I've spent hundreds of hours playing them. They are strategy-RPG hybrids in the style of Heroes of Might and Magic with a lot of charm. If you like HOMM or turn-based strategy they are an easy recommendation.

Thoughts on the King's Bounty games? Or the Port Royale 3 vs Patrician 4?

King's Bounty: The Legend is a classic must play imo, the others I didn't spend much time with, maybe burn out from the first game. I wouldn't say they're too similar to HOMM because there's no overworld strategic aspect in competition with other entities, just exploration and quest taking, with strategy relegated just to the hex based battle encounters (and recruting troops from towns and what not). It's almost like a western JRPG. And I prefer it that way tbh. Great old trailers.

Very addictive set up, you always wanna keep going to finish another quest, explore another area, see what comes next, etc., almost like a MMORPG style roller coaster with tons of variety despite the simple set up. The story is mostly light hearted with some weird humour but there are plenty epic and oh shit moments.

Slay alone or squad up for up to 4 player co-op in Redfall, an open-world story-driven FPS from the creators of Dishonored and Prey.

The town of Redfall is under siege by a legion of vampires who have cut the island off from the outside world. Trapped with a handful of survivors, choose from a roster of heroes to create the perfect team of vampire slayers and take back Redfall.

Hm they emphasize "Story-based" and "openworld" a lot in this trailer .... the previous trailer made it seem so L4D-y aka corridor coop shooter.

I guess quistion is whats the primary genre of it ... if its "openworld Story FPS" with coop or "coop FPS in openworld" with story .....

Liked Dishonored, Loved Prey.

Squad based shooter though....meh.

Squad based shooter though....meh.

i guess we will have to wait for some kind of "game overview" trailer to be sure whats pirmary genre, them emphasizing Story and openworld here makes me bit hopefull

When they first unveiled Redfall the comparison from insiders iirc was always it being a Borderlands like. So that is what people should expect.

An fps with Arcane mechanics and Borderlands design. Vampires and all that shit. So it should be a good singleplayer game but even more fun if you play with friends.

Redfall looks like vampire borderlands more than anything else to me, so it just doesn't have 12 year old internet jokes/humor

Since i mean technically you can play all the borderlands games by yourself but it's arguably boring as shit

yeah so far it seems it could be closer to how Borderlands/DyingLight works rather than B4B/L4D ... but from current official info , little to no details about the openworld and story side of things ... so could be anything ... the range of what you can do with those two is wide and Arcaneare imsim specialists
