Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff

Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff is a 2001 video game released on the PlayStation 2. Though 3DO did not advertise it as such, the game is an enhanced remake of King's Bounty. It is primarily a graphics enhancement[1] and it appears that little of the text has changed. Because of its dated gameplay, the game bears little relation to the rest of the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

Reception

Daniel Erickson reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Not as deep as the PC series it's named after, but just as fun and much more accessible."[2]

gollark: "Træcker"?
gollark: The osmarks.tk secondary computing server™ has an ultra-powerful™ Ryzen 3 1200 with more than THREE cores, 8GB DDR4-2933 RAM, and the most powerful GPU ever designed, the Nvidia GT 710.
gollark: It would have enough storage that I could actually keep backups, it would be great.
gollark: Well, if there was a secure way to do it, I would *happily* let you use some spare cycles on my secondary compute server.
gollark: If I want computing power or about 50MB of extra osmarks.tk osmarkßtorage I can just offload it to random potatOS computers.
