While you test those changes out, we will continue our work on one of the most exciting things about today’s gaming - achievements! Yes, they are coming to Armored Princess too. For now, we can’t share more details, so stay tuned!

All of this leads perfectly to the fact that the whole King’s Bounty series is participating in the Steam Spring Sale starting today till 26th of March. This is the best time to dive in (or to force your friends) to the series, so you better not miss a chance like this.
