King's Bounty: Dark Side broadens the formula that has powered this franchise since the beginning with a gothic storyline, an extensive number of quests, and a ton of troops that can be used in countless ways on the field of combat. This is one of those cases where familiarity and excellence peacefully coexist, and that approach tends to work well whether you're singing about vanished rock stars or gaming with creatures of the night.

No voice acting, no cutscenes, no multiplayer, no new graphics engine, there’s not even a f***ing tutorial this time since they know their audience entirely consists of people who don’t play any other games. It has no respect for gamers so I’m not having any respect for it. If you still fancy more King’s Bounty after playing the last three then by all means pick up Dark Side. Everyone else: don’t play it, Legend is cheaper.

En la línea de anteriores entregas de la serie King’s Bounty, The Dark Side es un buen juego de estrategia por turnos y rol que os mantendrá un buen puñado de horas pegados al PC. Se echan en falta muchas más novedades de peso en lo jugable, es verdad, pero lo bien planteado de su argumento, ahora con los malos como protagonistas, y lo adictivo de su fórmula lo mantienen como un título bastante recomendable.

Gerade als Fan von The Legend, Armored Princess & Co. hat mich Dark Side enttäuscht. Das Spiel macht fast nichts besser (oder auch nur anders) als seine Vorgänger, aber manches schlechter. Selbst die für ihre Innovationsarmut gescholtenen Macher von FIFA oder Call of Duty lassen sich für ihre Fortsetzungen mehr einfallen als die Entwickler von King’s Bounty.

Der Seitenwechsel zur Finsternis ist gelungen: Die heimatlosen Untote, Orks und Dämonen bilden ein herrlich morbides Gespann. In wunderbar skurrilen Quests werden Prinzessinnen geraubt, Königreiche unterjocht und scheinbar Unschuldige terrorisiert. Leider tauchen auch viele alte Schwächen auf: Die Kulisse ist veraltet und schadet mit der staubtrockenen Präsentation von Quests und Handlungen der Atmosphäre.

Se siete dei veterani, invece, fatevi due conti: la grafica è la solita, vecchiotta, lo stile di gioco identico, la storia trascurabile, la nuova ambientazione intrigante, ma non sfruttata a dovere. Dipende, essenzialmente, da quanto vi divertite a replicare fino alla nausea le stesse azioni ludiche, sebbene divertenti e ben congegnate. E, quanto a questo, come si suol dire, ogni testa è un tribunale.
