free instals King's Bounty: Warriors of the North

It’s a world of floating rock lifts over lava rivers, of Succubi able to charm away opposing armies, of fireball-hurling imps and of spiders that were just like the non-demon spiders but a different colour. I’d left off in Demonis, King’s Bounty’s visually fun but otherwise dull demon realm. Including King’s Bounty, and that cliffhung savegame of mine. A few days ago, however, I had something of a facepalm moment when I remembered my PC had another Windows installation on a second hard drive, and one that was loaded up with non-Steam games. With no access to Steam thanks to an offline mode balls-up and most of my boxed games in storage, my gaming options were minimal. Oh – it’s finally on sale at retail in the UK by the way, so you needn’t fret about the unreasonable Euro pricing for the download versions anymore.īelow is a slightly maudlin account of my final days with King's Bounty - it includes spoilers of a sort, not that I can believe anyone was really in this game for its cheerfully incoherent plot. If you wonder why I was quite so keen on this Vladivostok-developed RPG-strategy underdog, I’d much rather point you here, here and here than summarise myself again. Finally finishing King’s Bounty, my favourite game of 2008, but one that proved so long and so sadly short on its early hyper-enthusiasm in its later hours that I’d had to put it down long before its conclusion.

Reading, walking, meeting exciting new people? Nah. I’m amazed that it took me so long to realise how I should really be spending the three weeks I recently spent offline thanks to a feckless ISP.
