The Champion of the Arena campaign ditches most story elements for an involving tactical experience where you take on one cataclysmic battle after another. Because they get to the good stuff fast, both seem aimed at fans of previous King's Bounty games who might not have had the time to devote untold hours to the massive core campaigns. Two new mini-campaigns are the highlights. Going toe-to-toe with the biggest and the baddest monsters that the King's Bounty series has to offer is a highlight.

So while you can't go in expecting anything wildly innovative, this Armored Princess-requiring expansion offers a lot of revamped content for series fans and a refinement of the fantasy-monsters-on-hexes formula that makes the game just about as entertaining and addictive as something brand new. The main campaign is mostly the same as that featured in last year's Armored Princess stand-alone add-on tactical mini-campaigns are now in the mix to please those looking for something original and the addictive gameplay has been swiped from the hordes of its strategy role-playing ancestors. Katauri Interactive's latest addition to its growing family of strategy role-playing mishmashes certainly features something old, something new, and something borrowed. All it needs is 'something blue,' and King's Bounty: Crossworlds could be a blushing bride.
