Not sure if I'll get this at release, but I'll be interested in hearing feedback about it. I played the hell out of the first KB when I was a kid.

For those who aren't aware, this is a sequel to the original 1990 King's Bounty not King's Bounty: The Legend.

The forerunner to Heroes of Might and Magic. I will be there unless it's a buggy mess that's a cash grab.

I like what I see. Will check it out for sure. May it be ready when it is ready, though. I have lost trusting any release dates. They'll get delayed anyway.

I'm a huge fan of the game this originates from, so I'll likely be checking it out once it's fully available, patched and tested!

My only concern is that the stacks of human units might be indistinguishable from each-other. That was the problem with Age of Wonders III which ruined the tactical combat for me. No wonder the devs all played out the combat with auto-resolve. It does look alright in the video, so we'll see.

Nice! Putting it on my wishlist. I always regretted never having played the original game that I heard so much positive about. I did play all of the HOMM series up to HOMM V and "KB: The Legend" so this will be a nice return to that style of gameplay.

August 24th … that probably means November
I'll get this eventually, but not this year

They address that right in the video, which says they'll each have slightly different details.

I like the original, and played all of the new ones as well, though I didn't complete The Dark Side. I will be following this though will wait for the reviews and opinions before buying it.
