King's Bounty: Crossworlds（KB：Cw）はシミュレーションRPGゲーム

・ゲーム内容
基本はクォータービューでフィールドを探索する中世ファンタジーRPG
戦闘時のみターン制のヘックス移動型で、この部分が日本のSRPGに近い

このジャンルに求められる部分は全体的に良く出来ていると評判
ただ、国産のSRPGに近いものを求めている場合はちょっと違うかも

・日本のSRPGとの違い
日本のSRPGで有名なFEやオウガシリーズと比較すると、
KBのほうが資源管理ゲーの要素が強い。それとユニットの個性が薄い

例えばFEだと、被ダメがいくつでもユニットが死にさえしなければok
いっぽうでKBだとユニットのHPは兵数（有限）で決まるため
HP単位で損害を抑える必要がある
ただ難易度Normalなら余裕があるのであまり気にしなくていいかも

個性については、例えばFEならナバールという個人が仲間だけど、
KBで仲間になるのは剣士という兵種ユニット
剣士は成長しないし、固有のストーリーもない
（ただ雇用上限数が増えるためその分強くはなる）

・KBの他のシリーズとの関係
1作目がLegend、独立した2作目にArmored Princess（AP）、
APに追加要素（キャンペーン）を足したものがこのCrossworld(Cw)
LegendをやらずにいきなりCｗからやっても全く問題なし

・日本語について
公式の日本語はシリーズのどれにもついていない
Legendには日本語化modが一応あるものの機械翻訳のみ
Cwには関西弁訳になる日本語化MODがある模様
APはCwと内容がかぶっているので上記のMODで対応可能

Like Heroes of Might and Magic? Want to just control a hero and not worry about that pesky city building, or enemies taking them from you? Want to go on an epic adventure with an army and combat like in the HoMM games? This game is what you should buy, then! It's the HoMM experience without city building, but more features in other areas, where you go around hiring allies for your army, to engage in combat in that exciting HoMM way!

King’s Bounty: Crossworlds is a fantastic game which features aspects of RPG & Turn-Based Strategy. It offers you the main campaign (Orcs on the March: Expansion for Armored Princess with additional content) and 2 other smaller campaigns (Champion of the Arena: Boss Battles in Gladiatorial Combat & Defender of the Crown: Battles in Unique Arenas). It is suppose to be similar to the HOMM & Fallen Enchantress, but it feels more enjoyable with the main campaign lasting between 40-60 hours. You get to choose between 3 starting classes (Warrior, Paladin, Mage), each with a special ability (skill) and with crossoworlds, you receive an additional skill, which varies depending on your class. You also get a pet dragon, which can "cast" special dragon abilities, which are really cool!! Overall the game is worth playing and I would recommend it!!

Pros:
Beautiful Music
Spells & Pet Dragon
Randomized "Worlds" (No 2 playthroughs are the same)
Good Story
Lots of different types of units to use, ranging from humans, to undead to dragons…

Cons:
Learning curve is a bit high (but once you figure out the game, it is really easy)
The first 4 islands can be hard for a new player

It is worth noting that this format of game is older than the similar Heros of Might and Magic series. The game mechanic is similar however, you're are controlling only one "Hero". I guess you could consider this a sub-set of "HOMM". Basically this version is the best of the Kings Bounty series.
It's a good looking game and although a bit repetative (aren't all RPG's), the combat still remains oddly interesting no matter how many times you do it...
It's about the best combo of Strategy and RPG around (this includes HOMM also)... Although I have not technically reviewed it; it's a bit like the matrix... You have to see it for yourself...

I love this game! My only wish is that these games had workshop support because there are some really neat mods on the company's forums for them. I'm using a mod to have vendors on the first island sell units from every race so you don't have to wait through 90% of the game to get elf units. I'm playing with an army of archmages, unicorns, forest fairies, dryads and royal snakes. Super fun. :D
