King’s Bounty: The Legend E3 Previews

Both GameSpot and IGN have cranked out new E3 previews of 1C Games and Katauri Interactive’s King’s Bounty: The Legend. An excerpt from GameSpot’s coverage:

There are two kinds of magic that can be used, one normal and one ultrapowerful. After flipping through our magician’s massive spell book, we settled on an ice spell and knocked a good chunk of hit points off of one of the approaching snakes. Our standard magic worked fine, but we wanted to check out the good stuff so we summoned the grim reaper, who appeared in spectacular fashion and made short work of yet another snake. After conjuring up a giant stone sword and some rage demons, the battle, and our time with the game, ended with our party standing victorious.

And an excerpt from IGN’s coverage:

In typical RPG fashion, XP and gold are awarded upon completion of the battle. Leveling up gives you more power to the summons you used to gain that experience and a choice between two options for improving your main character. Decisions, decisions; it’s enough to keep you up at night.
