Other games like Kings Bounty

[Girl]

Hi, I've played all of the Kings Bounty games and I like this type of play...turn-based. Can you recommend some games to me like this one? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

There's a new KB (Dark Side) due out in the summer. Features:


New companion system (different companions for each character);

- New battle companion;

- New units, artifacts, and rage abilities ;

- Over 100 new quests and 15 new locations

Thanks! Can't wait

The other game that's very similar to this one is Heroes of Might and Magic. There are tons of them, but my favorite is Heroes 5. The newest one, Heroes 6 is really buggy.

Kings bounty games are my favorite of these type, but Heroes 5 comes close and is my favorite outside of these games.

Really looking forward to the latest 'expansion'

Agree with Heroes 5 as a decent alternative.

Thanks so much :)

The Kings Bounty sucess is that it's pretty unique in my opinion. I don't know turn based strategies in you can move free on a map like in KB. There are two series I'd recommend: Disciples 3, Heroes 5,6 if the graphics matter for you. Unfortunately that all I know beside Kings Bounty, but if you haven't tried the previous episodes in KB, lets give a try. You will not regret it, I can assure you. Forgive me if I wrong english not my mother tongue. :)

Thanks! I see the new beta version is out for Kings Bounty - but I dont' know how much fun it will be if there are "bugs" in it until they fix them :)

Disciples III is basically a Goth version of these games, cool stuff.

check out Expeditions: Conquiscador (hope i spelled it right :D) its the closest thing ive played gameplay wise (army management, rpg elements, exploration) I'd say check out some "Lets Play's" and see if the setting (early spanish expeditions to the americas) and general feel of the game appeal to you.

Looks interesting, thank you for heads-up. Is it historical to a degree or it just uses the Mesoamerica setting and contains magic, for example? I'm interested in this history period that's why I'm asking.

[Gloomseeker]

Expeditions Conquistador is definitely worth checking. It has some magic in it (but you won't be throwing fireballs around) so it's more a slight hint of fantasy rather than 100% history. Besides there are many female characters and although women weren't completely out of the picture that may irritate some players.

Still, I do recommend getting this game if only for the tactical combat. The gameplay has some things in common with the King's Bounty series (party size, movements on the map, chests) but there are enough differences to make it enjoyable without ever feeling like you're playing a KB clone.

Last but not least there are several different ways of playing the game. You can choose to respond to NPCs and quests as a zealot and a fanatic or opt for a more open minded approach and the game will take your choices into account.

Thanks, friends! You're all introducing me to games I would not have known about otherwise.

There is also Legends of Eisenwald (currently still in Early Access/Beta) which is simillar to King's Bounty but you can not stack up your army (i.e. you have one knight and you can't have 100 of those). Back in the day Heroes of MIght and Magic 3 were absolutely outstanding - lots of maps, expansions and hours upon hours of great gameplay - but that's like a dozen years old and the graphics and animation are outdated now.
You can also check Age of Wonders 3 - the battles are great but there is also a bit of new gameplay elements that are not present in KB series - like city management, lots of "castle" battles and every map has a similar goal - defeat the enemy/enemies. King's Bounty has a great sense of exploration of new lands/isles/dungeons, etc.
I hope that helps...
