As part of its 6th year anniversary sale, Direct2Drive has King's Bounty: Armored Princess for only $6, down from $35.
It's predecessor, King's Bounty was critically acclaimed and Armored Princess itself was well received. It has a good degree of replayability and it was reviewed as addictive and I like the fact that your character is a woman, however, it will not work with a GMA 950 graphics chip.
Because it only works with higher end computers and won't run on just any PC, I decided not to buy it, even at the $6 price.
Please note, I have not played King's Bounty: Armored Princess. I am not reviewing the game. These criteria are only for me to decide if I should buy the game. Here is how King's Bounty: Armored Princess fares with my criteria:
Replayability: 8 - Three character classes, difficulty levels, and random monsters and loot. Geography, environment, locations, and layout are not randomized.
Appeal: 10 - Good replayability, main character is a woman, a strategy game with fantasy elements.
Compatibility: 3 - Can't run on a GMA 950 without pixel shader emulation. When run with pixel shader emulation, the game stutters and is barely playable. The game doesn't look good but the graphics don't prevent the game from being played.
Verdict: Not a good value for me at $6. I might consider it at $2.
