KB is a great series. There are several sequels that are more or less standalone expansions, KB: Crossworlds (an expanded rerelease of KB: Armored Princrss) seems to be regarded best, but they're all pretty similar. It's like Heroes of Might & Magic or Disciples or Songs of Conquest but without the strategy meta-layer, it's all about a hero with an army exploring dense maps and fighting tactical battles. The story tries to channel Terry Pratchett to make kitchen sink generic fantasy less dull, but the writing isn't up to task. It doesn't really matter that much cause it doesn't have long cutscenes or important conversation choices, so subpar writing is not tiring.

These two space games have gone from paid to free to play, and can be added to your Steam account:

Astral Shipwright

Helium Rain

quote:

It's been about a decade since I first started prototyping a space game - one where you'd start off with a small ship and trade resources. Two games, three game engines and 15,000 copies sold later, here am I with a new life where I don't quite have the time for such work anymore.

Deimos Games will be shutting down this year. Both Helium Rain and Astral Shipwright will be going free-to-play, so that new players can still experience them in the future. As a reminder, both are also open-source, so if you were going to build anything based on these projects, you now have access to free content too. It's been refreshing to see game developers reuse code for their own projects, and I hope that will continue.

I want to thank all players who supported me on this endeavour. I'm truly happy that I was able to share my work with you.

They are good games if you like HoMM! I feel sorry for the people buying them with expectations based on the covers though because it's all just hex based strategy with 0 fanservice I can remember.

A major thing is being to get various bonuses from a wife. Like a questline only equipment slot. But that only takes it to 1/100 fanservice as far as I got. Maybe the demon faction gets it up to 2?

Yes I did marry the frog.

I interviewed a NK escapee who came to my school and made a thread. Then life got in the way and the translation had to be postponed. I did finish it in the end, but nobody is going to pay 10 bux to update my.avatar
King's Bounty is a really good, really hard strategy experience. It's also the title that I played until I got RSI and realised it was time to cut back on video games. Thanks King's Bounty!

I didn't care much for the modern KBs, for how weirdly linear they were, compared to the original.

I do remember liking their skill systems, with the colour based XP and sorta focus on going for hybrid stuff.

I wish someone would remake the original KB. It would seem like a relatively easy project for an indie.
