King's Bounty vs King's Bounty: Crossworlds

In a world once ruled by King Maximus, the Sceptre of Order has been stolen and shattered by the dark lord Arech Dragonbreath. As a noble knight, you must traverse four continents, gather the scattered pieces, and defeat the villainous nobles to restore peace. The game blends classic role‑playing storytelling with strategic, turn‑based combat and 4X exploration. Experience a rich fantasy setting where every decision shapes the fate of the kingdom. Manage armies, explore diverse lands, and engage in tactical battles that require careful planning and resource management. The single‑player adventure offers deep immersion and replayability for strategy enthusiasts.

King’s Bounty: Crossworlds adds the “Orcs on the March” expansion, plus two independent campaigns – Champion of the Arena and Defender of the Crown – to the beloved Armored Princess base game. A built‑in map editor lets players craft their own content and modify existing adventures. Set in the fantasy world of Teana, the expansion pits players against the female orc leader Red Scrounger as she seeks the ancient Source of Immense Force. New strategic challenges, arena duels, and a mysterious tower on Debir Island await solo adventurers.
