There are also optional quests that make the storyline more understandable. Some plot quests can be accomplished in any sequence or by several methods. You can travel around the opened locations freely. It will carry the player through the lands of Endoria, showing new vivid territories. The plot is linear, with only one possible ending. It all starts in Darion, the Kingdom of Men, where the final exam in the School of Knights and the recruiting to become a treasure hunter of King Marc the Wise are held. Jonric: Where does the game take place, and with respect to the story element, is it more linear or open-ended? Are there different possible endings? Ivan Magazinnikov: For the most part, the game takes place in the world of Endoria. Players will also enjoy such innovations as Rage Spirits and super powerful bosses. Units can acquire skills and specific features, and the magic system became very intricate and interesting. First of all, we increased the role of the arenas we made a lot of different ones and made them interactive. The search for treasures became a specific game element, the idea of "living items" came to be, and the hero even received an opportunity to get married! The battles changed too. We also created an interactive and highly detailed universe. We added a role system, and plenty of characters and quests.
And the gameplay, of course! We felt a lack of action in the adventures that is why everything happens in the real-time mode in The Legend - the monsters are roaming, day changes to night. At the same time, we wanted to keep the magic atmosphere, classical appearance and the spirit of adventure as they were in the original. Jonric: How will your game reflect the qualities of the original, and on the other hand, what additions and improvements are you implementing? Ivan Magazinnikov: We wanted to make a high-quality, fascinating and attractive game. With the help of our publisher, 1С, we obtained the official rights to this name.
Tight after the first demonstration, our game was baptized the Russian King's Bounty. So, we wanted to take matters into our own control. The potential of that game was enormous, and we were quite distressed when we found that the adventure and role-playing elements were somewhat poor. Jonric: Why did you initially set out to make a game in the spirit of the original King's Bounty? How did you get the rights to the name? Ivan Magazinnikov: We never concealed that we were making the game that we felt players would like to see, a contemporary version of the classic King's Bounty. We feel multiplayer mode doesn't always match well with role-playing games, so we decided to concentrate on the single-player campaign. There are some similar games on consoles - for example, Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy - but unfortunately, such titles are very rare on PC. The target audience for King's Bounty: The Legend includes all fans of role-playing and tactical games. The turn-based battles are held in special arenas. You will learn everything about the universe of Endoria only by becoming acquainted with secondary characters and completing side quests When an encounter with an enemy occurs, the game becomes similar to Heroes of Might and Magic and even more similar to its ancestor, King's Bounty, with action points. The main plotline will only show you part of the game. The player has the opportunity to travel around the world, deal with different characters, gather various resources and develop his skills. Speaking about the adventures, this game is a bit like Fallout. His character reveals as he improves skills, communicates with NPCs and accomplishes quests - just like in any other classical RPG. The main hero explores the world in real-time mode. Jonric: To get the interview started, what are the basics we should know about King's Bounty: The Legend? What type of game will it be? What audience and ship date are you targeting? Dmitri Gusarov: King's Bounty: The Legend is a role-playing game with turn-based tactical combat.
