King's Bounty: Crossworlds

Fans of fighting for good with a sword in their hands have already had the opportunity to appreciate the role-playing game "King's Bounty: Princess in Armor". Now they have created an original addition for them - "King's Bounty: Crossworlds" - the Crossroads of Worlds, where the new storyline was called "Orc Campaign". There are the same powerful artifacts, spells, the Tower of Mages and other previously unknown creatures. And also a nice bonus - 2 independent campaigns! These are Arena Champion and Crown Defender. By the way, to play with a sword in a new toy, the original version is not required.

What is Crossroads of Worlds?

In general, calling a novelty an addition is not entirely correct, it is, rather, a reprint with clarifications and additions. The main plot is simple. The leader of the orcs, Red Grabber, thirsts for universal obedience and is eager to find to take possession of enormous power, which is fraught with problems for the world of Teana. Orcs rush to seek salvation from people. And at the same time, an amazing Tower suddenly appears on the island of Debir, where access is closed even to the coolest sorcerers.

What is offered to players:

• unknown creatures - there are 9 of them;
• kits and artifacts - 50 pcs .;
• spells - 13;
• training at the Military Academy.

Adventure in independent companies

It is better to highlight these aspects immediately, so as not to be distracted later. So, "Champion of the Arena". In the story, a young mercenary Arthur makes an agreement with the merchant Lew Klisan, who will obtain the Belt of the Champion in the gladiatorial arena. But it turns out that the hero will have to fight in the world of Litan, and not with people, but with terrible monsters! Therefore, the task of the gamer is to pick up allies, weapons and troops for the guy.

For the duration of the battles, the daredevil will have:

• 5 new skills;
• 11 squires;
• Guilds of different races;
• 8 Arena bosses;
• 7 hero enemies with rare abilities.

The second independent game is "Defender of the Crown", from experience we can say that fighting girls will like it more. After all, Princess Amelie claims to be the protector! The beauty, unlike the famous medieval royals, does not want to sit at the window, looking cute, but she herself changes her world. She needs to pass the final exam with the best mentors, which is very difficult.

The Princess is given:

• 6 brutal battles in different arenas;
• 3 new life-saving skills.

King's Bounty: Crossworlds Characters

Military academies have appeared on many islands, where you can train troops. Inexperienced peasants miraculously turn into excellent archers and swordsmen, but this is permissible only with their own race. And with certain investments on the part of the player.

You can also complete the quest on Debir, which will open access to a new class skill. But it will only open! And you will have to study it in runes.

Now in a little more detail - about the characters of the main game:

• New - the elves have invited an army of fauns. They shoot, they do a little magic, but they are afraid of the dark. But they know how to resurrect plants, which in cooperation with dryads is a huge force. Because there is support for the called thorns, it is still possible to strengthen at their expense. In addition, fauns are capable of inflicting damage on sleeping creatures.
• The people, on the other hand, compensated for such an advantage of the orcs with rune sorcerers. True, their strength depends on the number of accumulated runes, which must also be taken into account.
• The old troops have retained their capabilities, and it has even become much easier with dragons. You just need to give him a flight path and an order to deal with everyone you have enough strength for.
• We also made the task with the alchemists easier. If before they had enough potions for a couple of turns, now these characters can create the necessary potions right in the course of the battle. And if there are no wicked among the enemies, holy water can really be replaced with an accelerating energy drink.

Magic and spells

Without enchantments in the wizarding world - nowhere, so in the new game they made 13, although truly new - only 3. Two are responsible for the orc adrenaline, and one summons the dragon of Chaos. Other magic spells are already familiar, they used to spend rage on their use.

We should also mention the "gift" from the developers to the orcs - adrenaline. It is accumulated in battle, which strengthens the fighters and opens up access to new skills. You can increase such a valuable acquisition not only in battles, but also with skills, talents, spells and artifacts. It is only recommended to plan the expense, since the question is: to hit with weak skills, but immediately, or with strong, but then - very significant.

The Role of the Tower in King's Bounty: Crossworlds

So, next to Debir there is a tower in which the villain Evenus is conducting his Game - several fights, and each one has its own rules. For example, enemies at the beginning of each turn turn into members of your army. Therefore, the approach to battle is needed every time differently. Before entering the Tower, it is better to leave 1 squad, and recruit others right on the spot, fortunately, it's free.

Other things to consider:

• All your troops, even dead ones, will be able to get back after the attack on the Tower.
• An ungrateful student can make a fight even after level 40.
• Enemies have become more prying. When losing, they try to cover them with any destructive charms.

To summarize briefly, in the new game "King's Bounty: Crossworlds" the roughness was smoothed out, the characters were given more opportunities, and the world was made more diverse and interesting. The novelty is also revived by independent companies, so that you can find a variety of adventures for yourself!
