Why is this game so addicting?

Ive played for over 6 hours today i just cant stop, i cant even eat! I have never felt this way ever about a game, simply the best game i have played since HOM3.

God, ive played close to 15 hours of this game in 2 days, 10 hours yesterday and 5 hours today and this day is far from over!

RPG are totally NOT my type of game.. I have never played HOMM or anything along those lines.

I got Kings Bounty: The Legend as part of a Groupees bundle, and I love it!! Over 50hrs playing it.. I am now looking to play the rest of the series.

I also find it very addictive! I think it's just the quest to rank up, get more newer troops etc.. It's a lot of fun!

Just an awesome game! Had the same experience last week ;)

The game is more addivting than freakin' cocaine! Can't stop playing even when I'm hungry, and it simply eats away all my free time. Best TBS since HoMM 3, and I stand firmly by this statement! To anyone having any doubts about King's Bounty: The Legend - just pick it up, even if you are not a fan of these types of games. The nice story, constant urge to rank up higher, hard difficulty (even on NORMAL I find myself struggling here and there, and there are TWO more higher difficulties!), sometimes humourous phrases and fairy-tale setting will chain you up in front of your PC and won't let you go for a looong time.

P,S: I am afraid to think how much more addictive this game COULD have been with some achievements implemented (so far, only Warriors of the North has achievements and full Steam support, and by that I mean Steam cloud service that other three games from the same franchise lack)

I agree that the Kings Bounty games are very addictive.

I play certain types of games, and throughout my whole gameplaying life, I have never played these types of games.. I always thought they looked boring and such.

I got Kings Bounty - The Legend and a whole load of other games through an online charity bundle from Groupees.

I LOVED IT!!! I played it for hours and hours each day, then played Crossworlds, Armored Princess and WOTN. They are a LOT OF FUN.

Downloading atm and really can't believe what I'm hearing about the game ... sounds almost too good to be true :D

IMO it is batter than HOMM. Simple and very addictive. You have only one hero, no cities etc. Ive played over 60h Armored Princess and now i'm gonna try first KB.
Do you think that is good idea (trying first one, after finished second)??. That's because I got it on Steam from SG (Armored Princess bought within IG7)

The first one is great, a little less units. I enjoyed the first 1 just as much as armored princess though

Because it does everything right. Its execution is legendary as the title suggests, and the story line is an epic retelling of every classic adventure.

I've been over on the HOMMVI thread after buying that bundle of dissapointment, urging people to forget about it and come play King's Bounty. This game keeps it real. We have options in how to deal with quests- kill em all? or perhaps talk our way out of things or into better fortunes before the inevitable fight. Customizing and optimization are diverse. There is even the ability to fail quests, something that has almost completely disappeared from gaming!

Thank you Mother Russia for 1C-Company. If you guys like this, try out Fantasy Wars.

I'm kinda guilty of letting both Legend and Armoured Princess rot on my HDD while playing transit sims and CS:S. For a change of pace I'm going to delve into AP and then Legend.

The games are great but they do require time investment. Luckily I have a little bit of time left before starting undergrad studies, so I think I'll dive right in.
