The demo is out!
http://www.gamershell.com/download_32652.shtml

The game will be pretty good, I just tried out the demo. Going to buy this baby.

Did your trial say it would last for 999 days? Mine will run out in June 2011.

Cant comment on the game itself as my computer crashed when I loaded it.

Yeah it says 999 days. 
Hm my demo runs without problems...weird.

[Jreengus]

Nah the crash is a result of my terrible computer doubt anyone else needs to worry, it happens on a few games for me.

I'm surprised I've never heard about this before.  I've read the FAQ - sounds a little bit like Ogre Battle, but could someone explain what it's all about?

King's Bounty was the progenitor/predecessor of Heroes of Might and Magic

Yep, this is the sequel...and its pretty good actually.

So the game just came out.  Has anybody played the full version?

Gamespy gave it 4.5/5

[Neonivek]

Ive heard and seen previews of it... I never seemed too too interesting especially since Heros of Might and Magic never seemed all that interesting to me either.

Though mind you the reason I never could get into it was because I unfortunately played Diciple first which I loathe!!!

[Tormy]

I must say that this game is awesome. I have it now. This is a worthy successor of the old King's Bounty game. Actually the game is better than HoMM V., only HoMM III - AB has the ~same product quality. If you like the genre, this game is a must have.

Alright, I got me the demo, and I'm very dissapointed.

I could go on and on about what I don't like, but I guess nobody cares Just one thing, is it just me or does this whole game feel like a western attempt to make a jrpg?

On the other hand, the game seems well done. Apart from the restricted camera movement I cant find any major design flaws. It's self explanatory, the UI is decent, graphics and sounds are ok.

But those folks that really enjoy the game: what do you like about it? whats there that makes it great for you?

"is it just me or does this whole game feel like a western attempt to make a jrpg?"

Other then for the Spirits, which I have to admit other then in one of the Legend of Mana games I never seen... The answer is absolutely not... Though that is probably because Ive been in gaming long enough to know the sources.

Ill admit I have some problems with it as well, and will not be getting it. (The Castle ran out of units? That isn't right man!). I notice if you wait a REALLY long time it is really easy not to buy games... Heck when I couldn't buy Mount and Blade I suddenly didn't want it anymore (though I still question if I should buy a hardcopy now... wait a few years... then download all the updates)

I pretty much ended the demo after I beat the second toughest enemy in the Demo (The hardest being the 2nd tournament... which may or may not count depending if it was a possible battle or not)

Well I don't know what do I like about it. I simply love the genre. I really enjoyed playing with HoMM 3. for example, or with the old King's Bounty game.
Btw you should give this game a try, the game is huge and very detailed/diverse. The first continent is nothing, its just a small part of the game. [I am not even sure that how big the demo was actually - gameplay wise...]

[Neonivek]

The Demo was the first Outer map you are at in the game... it doesn't let you travel to other areas except for a single cave
