More about King's Bounty: Armored Princess

The press gave it 82; the people who bought it give it 91 percent. A 9-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 27.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. None of the 354 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 122 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

27.7 hours to finish it, 75 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.

What players say

Added achievements, but forgot for balance... - Impossible level of difficulty could be really impossible, especially with no loses challenge. - This KB is not for a mages, chaotic spells are weak, I'd rather wipe my ass with useless Armageddon spell scroll than waste crystals to learn it! Summons are weak as well. - To win a game for the mage, with no loses, some battles will require replays until luck will follow...

I played this game for 200 hours before and had to play it again once it got achievements. I played Kings Bounty: CW for over 400 hours previously and am waiting to play it again once it gets achievements!
