  • graphics
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is heavily criticized for its reliance on microtransactions, which create a grindy experience that often forces players to pay to progress. Many users report that after a few hours, advancing without spending money becomes nearly impossible, leading to frustration with the unbalanced matchmaking and the overall "pay-to-win" structure. While some find the game addictive and enjoyable, the pervasive monetization tactics detract from the experience, particularly for those who prefer to play without spending extra money.

    • “The game has microtransactions, but it doesn't kill the game as long as you do not play PvP.”
    • “Everything the critics say about this game is true - microtransactions and Facebook nag - but it is still hugely addictive and good fun if it's your kind of game.”
    • “It does have microtransactions and 'share with friends' pop-ups as you would expect from a game connected to Facebook, and it's not for everyone, but overall it's a decent game, especially for being free to play.”
    • “It's filled with your typical grind/wait/pay mechanics and predatory monetization.”
    • “Beginning is easy but after 3-5 hours you just can't progress without microtransactions.”
    • “This game is a cash grab; spend $20.00 to play the real thing.”
  • grinding
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of "King's Bounty: Legions" to be excessive and tedious, especially after reaching higher levels, where progress becomes increasingly difficult without spending money. While some enjoy the grind initially due to the lack of energy restrictions, many express frustration with the game's pay-to-win elements and the slow pace of advancement, leading to prolonged periods of repetitive gameplay. Overall, the grind is seen as a significant barrier to enjoyment, particularly in the later stages of the game.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Despite not having a lot of content, and having some pay-to-win elements (unless you are okay with excessive grinding), I think King's Bounty: Legions is a good online turn-based strategy game that shines in its tactical battles.”
    • “Really nice-looking, sometimes clever, yet very grindy and rage-producing pay-to-win PvE/PvP multiplayer King's Bounty game.”
    • “As a fan of the King's Bounty series, this seemed like a great idea - and the initial hours of free-to-play games usually are (in order to draw you in) - but the game quickly loses pace, and is annoying, trying to lure you into spending money in order to speed up the ever-increasing grinding rate of play.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality, drawing comparisons to the King's Bounty series, but it quickly becomes repetitive and lacks the catchy appeal of the original.

  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
