King's Bounty: Dark Side is yet another standalone add-on to the popular game King's Bounty: Legend of the Knight, blending genres such as RTS and TBS. The project is an internal development by "1C-SoftClub", and the creators of the original game, Katauri Interactive, are not involved in the development.
In the new game, the developers invite players to return to the world of Teana and assume the roles of exiled representatives of dark races, who are trying by all means to regain their former glory.
Where earlier the undead, demons, and orcs symbolized the "dark" side, bringing mischief and doom to the world, while players representing the "light" side brought them retribution at the edge of a sword, now everything is precisely the opposite: drunken with bloodlust, the "light" decided to upset the fragile balance of power, destroying and plundering the lands of their ancestral foes. The last surviving representatives of the ruling houses – an orc, a demoness, and a vampire – flee from their native lands, hoping to find shelter under the wing of the dwarves known for their original neutrality. But they do not yet know that their journey is just beginning.
Briefly about the features:
New locations or updated old ones: now the player will spend less time in places they have been before.
The possibility of initially playing as representatives of the undead, orcs, or demons (including the chance to experience being in the skins of the squads destroyed by heroes from past games).
A new type of resource acquired in battles.
Different representatives for different classes, just like in the first game of the series.
A new line of in-game rewards that give heroes bonuses.
A more noticeable influence of the title on the hero's characteristics.

Description: In the continuation of the adventure saga King’s Bounty, you will explore the dark side of the world of Teana and embark on a journey through unseen lands, where bloodshed reigns.
For the first time in the history of the renowned series, you have the opportunity to choose the race of the main character. Meet the new heroes of King’s Bounty! The fearless orc warrior Bagyr knows better than anyone how important Fury is in an unequal battle. The born leader, the demoness Neolina, with the gift of persuasion, maintains high morale among her troops even in the toughest battle. And the vampire Daert, unmatched in the sinister art of dark magic. Each one has their own story...
Having crushed the orc army in a decisive battle at the Three Streams, the elves, intoxicated by victory, plunder and ruthlessly exterminate the green-skinned people, desecrate their shrines, burn settlements, and enslave children. The greatest warrior of the orc tribe, Bagyr, with a handful of surviving comrades, is forced to flee, seeking refuge among the dwarves. Burning with righteous anger, he dreams of returning with a mighty army at his back to drive the invaders from his homeland...
The knights have invaded Atrixus, sowing death and suffering everywhere. The demon king is dead, and the command of the few surviving troops is taken by his daughter – the young demoness Neolina. In a desperate attempt to break through the siege of merciless human warriors, she leads a handful of loyal imps towards the Sunset Lava...
The castle of the ancient de Mortons is about to be besieged by an army of vampire hunters, and the young Daert hastily sets out to seek allies among the dark races. The choice for those he will visit is limited – either unite forces in the face of common danger or perish forever...
Suddenly, three dark fates intertwine. In the depths of the Black Cave, where light races sealed the Ancient Evil many centuries ago, three heroes take oaths and exchange powerful relics that can help in the nearly lost war. Gathering armies, they set out for a new battle for the future of their people. To unite against the light or to fade into oblivion – there is no third option!
