It’s SecuROM, but without a limited number of activations, as far as I know. You could just use the latest Russian patch to get rid of the DRM limitations, though SecuROM is still going to get installed.

The UK version is supposed to use Securom. Is there any word of installation limits?

This was the best game of RPG/adventure/tactical combat I’ve played in a few years. It becomes a bit boring closer to the end, but that just makes you run away more – you don’t HAVE to fight all. Also, for some strange reason Paladin is Blizzardified here too – the easiest class to play on impossible.

Now, I really want to play this game, but last night I made a list of all the games that I’ve started playing and not finished in the last few months, and there were 28 of them. Think ima spend some time workign on those before I get round to this one.

I does love the slightly overlooked small-budget RPGs though; Wizardry 8 remains to be one of my favourite game to this day ^_^

I very much suspect that playing the game as a Mage hero is much more fun than the other two classes. I’m playing it as a Warrior and I really miss the spliffy magic of Heroes III. In fact, ever since I divorced my frog princess wife I can barely cast anything but the most basic magic.

Really, King’s Bounty is one of the finest examples of a well executed game in years. It looks, sounds, and feels fantasy. If I could smell it I am convinced it would smell like fantasy. It’s funny and serious, deep yet with a casual feel. It is nearly perfect for twenty minutes or twenty hours. I haven’t felt this good about a fantasy title in a long time.

I feel like King’s Bounty is more of a romp and Diablo III will be more of a foray.

Combat is the core of the game. The plot of the side quest are amusing, some times, but that’s it. You have to like the combat for this game.
