I just played KB: The Legend, while on the other hand I played HoMM 1-4 (all vanilla) and TotE from 5. The art, music, and gameplay is the most fun for me, I'm just not very good at it. That said, the HoMM game I like the most is III. Interestingly, I had a hard time getting my head around the King's Bounty games until I took the approach of, "The battle system is basically like in a JRPG where you use squads of like finite attacks." Somehow that helped me a lot. These games remind me of Age of Wonders, actually, but King's Bounty does not. I really like HoMM V but after giving it a break I cannot get back into it. Also, that's if the characters are being direct with what you need to do, other occasions, and they are not too common, you'd have to come across the next step either by accident or with a guide and when I was playing Dark Side there really were not very many (being a Russian game that is not hugely popular on English speaking sites). you talk to whomsoever you are supposed to but they obviously have nothing to say to you yet. You think, okay I will go there and do that because this dude literally said to. The only issues I have with King's Bounty is that a lot of the time the quests have very nebulous progression to them. My best success has been in King's Bounty Crossworlds and Dark Side, and then HoMM 5 and my success in the game is inverse to the game's number in HoMM.
