Princess Amelie travels through a fantasy world in search of her mentor. The main campaign follows her journey across island regions, while the package also includes two shorter campaigns focused on arena battles and tactical encounters.
Exploration takes place in real time: travel between locations, take on quests, gather resources, and recruit troops. When enemies confront you, combat shifts to turn-based battles on a hex grid, where you command your army and use the hero’s magic.
Choose a hero class and develop skills as you gain experience, find equipment, and build an army from varied creature types. Amelie’s pet dragon can use abilities in battle, and the included world editor lets you create maps, campaigns, and combat scenarios.
Players who praise the game often highlight its tactical battles, varied troops and abilities, and the many ways to build a hero and army. Reviews also describe its campaigns as replayable, with some players returning to them over the years, and mention the fantasy art and music as part of the appeal. Others find the battles or overall campaign too long, especially at higher difficulty settings.
King’s Bounty: Crossworlds includes the full King’s Bounty: Armored Princess campaign, along with two additional mini-campaigns: Champion of the Arena, centered around gladiatorial boss battles, and Defender of the Crown, offering tactical encounters in unique arenas with randomly selected allies and enemies.
The Armored Princess campaign features its own expansion, Orcs on the March, which significantly increases the variety and depth of the game with dozens of new quests, creatures, items, abilities, and spells. New equipment sets and mechanics open up additional strategic options, encouraging experimentation with different army compositions and playstyles.
Crossworlds also includes a full-featured world editor, allowing you to create your own maps, campaigns, and tactical challenges. Design custom scenarios, experiment with encounters, and share your creations with other players, extending the life of the game far beyond the included campaigns.
Whether you want to experience the complete Armored Princess campaign, test your skills in focused tactical challenges, or build your own King’s Bounty adventures, King’s Bounty: Crossworlds delivers a massive, content-rich tactical experience built for players who enjoy depth, variety, and strategic freedom.
