Something that becomes really apparent in the later game is the amount of criss-crossing quests that you'll do. I'd still recommend the 2008 original over this for someone completely fresh to the series but it might still be worth revisiting for a veteran. You know what, it's not as grindy as the last game, Heroes of the North, and its charm has kinda grown on me. The interface is functional but nothing special.There aren't THAT many games that expect you to play the bad guy so i suppose that works in its favour, and if this is your first exposure to Kings Bounty then you can be assured that there'll be plenty to keep you occupied, but if you've been there before then you've already seen it all and either that's enough to convince you to grab it at once or steer well clear.EDIT: I've played a bunch more, and I'm well into the late stages of the game. There are not just oddball quests but funny loot to be gathered as well.Truly the engine doesn't look to have changed since the original 2008 release and still insists on defaulting to 1280x1024 resolution, when pretty much every other game you'll play can auto-detect native resolution. Rinse and repeat.One of the signature features of the series is the quirky humour revealed on the map quests, and that's still there but it's all getting a bit strained. Visit shops to replenish troops and supplies. Obviously things don't go exactly to plan and it'll be a long time before you're either done with the quests or simply too tired to carry on.Raise an army to the maximum of your leadership ability, navigate the map picking up treasure and additional units. With Dark Side the first major goal you're given is to raise an unholy army and get back your castle. A lot of it looks very familiar.In the previous games you could amass armies made up of ghouls and skeletons but it could have a morale effect on your own troops. With Warriors of the North I don't think I managed even five hours.You can see where this is going?To be fair, I've played more than five hours of Dark Side but there's nothing here to trouble a veteran of the series. Second game I managed about 15 hours before the grind got to me. I must've played around forty hours or more of it. Loved the first Kings Bounty (technically the first of the remakes to use the name) game but never did finish it because it became a grind.
