King's Bounty/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Cliché Storm: The Russian remake plays to every -- and we mean each and every -- fantasy cliche imaginable. Of course, it's quite intentional, and a part of the developer's signature style, but sometimes the cheesiness may get too over-the-top.
  • Demonic Spiders: Pretty much anything that can poison or burn opponents, both of which deal a nasty amount of damage every turn and also reduce attack and defense, respectively.
    • Dragons. A single dragon can cause you a lot of trouble when faced in battle. On the other hand they become GameBreakers when you can hire them in your army. If you face something like 7 Black Dragons at once, get ready to lose some troops.
  • Goddamn Bats: Whenever you run into a bunch of more than 200 fairies or skeleton archers or any other annoying critter.
  • Evil Is Sexy: Demonesses aka Succubi. They are one of the few units in the game with the Beauty attribute, which gives them a chance to dodge against male humanoids, which they can also seduce.
  • Game Breaker: Getting a Call of the Colossus scroll early in Armored Princess, especially if it creates a troll.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series is pretty popular in Russia.
  • That One Boss: The Spider Queen. You can't use the Box of Rage and have to fight and kill a huge monster with great attack, 25000 life points and capable of summoning hordes of smaller spiders at will. To cup it all, the monster always counterattack when hit in melee and can switch place in the middle of the battle, forcing you to move around a lot to get her.
