King's Bounty: The Legend

Yes, and King's Bounty has many realistic ideas implemented in the game :). This is especially noticeable in "Crossworlds". For example, the "Strike" ability for miners :smile54:. And the "Outrage" response from the Foremen :D.

This even surprised me.

The gameplay is good in both, but in "Armored Princess" there is more freedom, more variety, and the dragon is at least twice as cool as the Reaper :)

In "Armored Princess" the gameplay is still better, not by much, but better. And the plot, in my opinion, is better in the original. The dragon is stronger than the Reaper, and the chests are better in general...

made by Russian developers, which I consider masterpieces:

Heroes of Might and Magic V with all the expansions, King's Bounty (all), Disciples 3, Code of War, Allods Online, and 18... There are about 20 good games made by Russian developers in total...
