The Good:

- addictive gameplay: leveling and exploring the world is fun

- battles can be extremely fun: Armored Princess takes the battle engine from Heroes of Might and Magic and hones it to perfection.

- excellent music!

- good value

The Bad:

- battles against creeps get repetive in the main game.

Armored Princess is a good game, but the battles against basic creeps can get repetitive. Because of this, I haven't yet managed to complete the main campaign. However, Crossworlds fixes this flaw by offering two short campaigns which basically feature only the interesting battles and accelerate leveling. These also have an element of randomness which adds replay value. Like this, the game is definitely worth experiencing.

Great game for both newcomers and experienced King Bounty players. New monsters. talents, tactics and spells bring in a lot of fun.

Campaign auditor is also a great asset for the fans!

No reason to play Armored Princess without this! Extra units, items and quest that make the whole experience better. Though, if you have played through Armored Princess several times, you may think that it's not enough extra content to make another playthrough interesting enough.

So basically, if you haven't played KB:AP yet, buy this to go with it. Otherwise, buy it when it's on sale.

An excellent addition to Armored Princess. The new units are extremely well balanced, and everything is polished. If you buy the King's Bounty pack, though, I recommend doing this campaign instead of the Armored Princess main campaign, as there is a lot of... ahem... crossover! This is more of an excellent Armored Princess 2.0 than a separate title.

If you liked King's Bounty: The Legend, then you'll like this. More of the same with different trees and enemies (although not a proper sequel, would call it an expansion). Great fun if you finished The Legend and are craving some more excellent tactical battle RPG goodness.

I have been a fan of the Kings Bounty series, so its no surprize that I enjoyed this expansion. I would say to those who have played the original games, you will enjoy the expansion.

If you are new to Kings Bounty, or enjoyed Hero's of might and magic, you will enjoy this game as well.

Crossworlds is well worth buying if you don't have Armored Princess already. It's even probably worth buying if you do. On to the modes:

Orcs on the march: This is a slightly expanded and improved Armored Princess campaign. It's a good excuse to play it again if you've already done so, and there's no reason to play the base game if you have both. The orcs are fun to play and there's a number of new items, quests, and enemies that make the world even more varied.

The Arena: Really fun, but also really short. Essentially a 'just get to the battles' mode for king's bounty, with a bunch of boss-type battles. I finished this in one (rather long) sitting.

The other short campaign (forgot the name): A very fun campaign with increasingly difficult/unfair battles you have to overcome. I felt a little bit like dragon army in Ender's Game, and that's a good thing. Also short, but not as short as the arena campaign.

I haven't had any real interest in using the editor, so I can't give any useful information about that.

Considering that the base game (which is itself a standalone expansion) is excellent, being one of the best Heroes of Might and Magic-like games, this expansion, which adds improvements, campaigns and other such goodies to it can not be anything but excellent as well. Extremely recommended.

Every Heroes of might and magic fan must take a look at King's Bounty. Is has much of the depth you can find in HOMM; character development, combat, etc.

The only lack in the game is that there is no multiplayer possibility, but the game has been built like this to be more appealing for single-player games. There is plenty of play time in single-player to make this game last for a long time.

The game offers a built-in 3D that can be switched on and viewed using red-cyan glasses. It is quite special if you never experienced 3Dvision but the cursor is not 3D. This makes it hard to click on objets when playing in that mode. Is is however something special to try.

This is the expansion of the sequel / expansion of King’s Bounty The Legend, a fantasy tactical RPG turn-based. If Armored Princess was one of the more acclaimed expansions, Crossworlds is even better. If you ever loved orcs from the previous games, here they obtain a new re-balanced system that makes them powerful allies (or deadly enemies, in particular playing at high level of difficulty). So what’s inside here? New quests for the main campaign, new units, the orc units completely revisited, and two new post-campaigns. Is it worth to play it if you have already finished Armored Princess? I think yes, this expansion adds a great replay value to the previous game. But if you haven’t played AP, and you like Heroes of Might & Magic saga, jump immediately on this product. Really addictive!

Although the new contents are not that great, I am so addicted to this game that even the small changes to the campaign 'forced' me to play it from the beginning to the end twice more (easily another 75 hours for doing that, since I always play at the hardest difficulty levels and each battle can take forever to finish - which is, un my book, a great thing). I was also hoping that the editor released with this installment of King's Bounty would have opened endless possibility due to fan-made adventures. I also had a plan to create my own, but I was discouraged by how difficult and buggy the editor is. I guess this must have been a common reaction because after many months there is not a single new adventure ready. Nevertheless, the new 2 short (very short) campaigns and the changes to the original Armored Princess campaign are enough to recommend this game. Let's hope they are working on the sequel, King's Bounty 2.

Great expansion to a totally awesome game. What you get are two totally new shorter campaigns (Defender of The Crown and Champion of the Arena) plus a massive expansion to the Armored Princess (Orcs on the March). King's Bounty The Legend and Armored Princess are the only games in my gaming history (and I've been playing games for almost 20 years) that I finished 3 times (different character and different level of difficulty) and that after completing them you want to start them all over again. It is mainly because every time you start the game, the enemies, items, spells that you can buy are randomly chosen and it is a thrilling experience every time you play.

The shorter campaigns are challenging and thrilling and levelling up is a accelarated (after every battle you get a level or two) and they are full of surprises - in Defender of the Crown you can buy a set of medals for just 20k :)

Crossworlds is a good addition to the Armored Princess and it's a must-have for every fan of this totally awesome series. Plus the price is sweet as well...

"Crossworlds", I would sum up like this: A classic, cheap, minimum-effort DLC like other DLC's we've seen the last years. 2 stars for innovation and the new campaigns, 5 stars for really well-documented Editor, minus some "star value" for fundamental bugs, I'd say a fair "3 star" -effort, total.

It features some new, and some really amusing things and ideas, but most are really just cosmetic changes to the old... "Let's change this color... Take this animation and paste it on top of that... Does that work?" -kind of thing.

The "most new", in this package, is the Campaign Editor. I guess that 1C now were ready to "release the code to the open market".

The 2 "new" campaigns are really just small, compressed ones, based on old stuff. "The-old-games-in-a-nutshell", I would say. They are, however good examples of what the substantial Campaign Editor is capable of! :-) ...as long as it doesn't crash. There is a bug there, when making own scenarios.

And by the way, beware of the "Shaman bug" in the campaign "Orcs on the Marsh" - the extention to the main campaign in Armored princess. The bug works like this: The game crashes when fighting Orc Shaman / Blood Shaman units; at least on my system. I have submitted detailed info to 1C tech support. They seem to be working on it.

I would say that, if you own KBTL and KBAP, you really cannot justify getting this one. If you only have KBTL, best get Crossworlds now.

If you have neither KBTL or KBAP get the GoTY and enjoy.

The reason I would not bother to get this having the prior two is is it more of the same, but very limited new play.

The bumped up March Of the Orcs adds a bit, but you have seen it already. The other two campaigns I did both in the same day. Very short and all the lands will be familiar.

Most of the new spells are just the Spirit skills from KBTL. Lots of new items, but so what?

Ahhh little Amelie is back for our great gaming pleasure ;) If you love this franchise you would be for sure pleased by all addition in this add-on, including an editor (havent tried editor yet but this sounds very promising). I'm unsure editor is also compatible with original King's Bounty but if that's the case that's definitivly awsome.

Great Expansion to the sequel. Has imporvements to everything, including an editor. A must get for anyone who loved Armored Princess. This helps enchance replayablity to an awesome game.
