King's Bounty 2 is not a perfect and most beautiful production, but it certainly significantly develops the concept of the original, offering a good story with great fights and an army creation system.

"King's Bounty II is built on the nostalgia of the good old days Strategies and modern ambitions. It is a good mixture but sometimes it seems that the game doesn't know which way it's moving. In the end, i should say King's Bounty II is a good choice for strategy fans."

This is a good first step to leveling up this franchise, the gameplay is still challenging and asks a lot out of you in a very satisfying way but the world building, audio-visual presentation and incorporating the exploration parts with the battles need a little more work to help King’s Bounty achieve its true potential.

King’s Bounty II is trying to be more than just a niche game for a few gamers.

King's Bounty II has its ups and downs and tries too hard to please everyone. The world is well made and enjoyable to explore, but there is just too few combat encounters for a game that should act as a fusion of the turn-based strategy and RPG genres.

King's Bounty fans will find a much different game compared to its predecessors, and not all changes are for the best. Still, there's enjoyment to be found in the new chapter of the series, especially when it comes to the battlefield.

King's Bounty II has enough good things to entice fans of the genre for several hours, as long as they turn a blind eye to its many flaws and limitations.

King's Bounty II is a title that only strategy fans will really appreciate. Gameplay is satisfying, but it is nevertheless undermined by a disappointing technical aspect and many little ingenuities that make the experience slow and tedious and that, if solved, would greatly improve the quality of life of the game.

King's Bounty II offers numerous options to keep you playing its 40-hour campaign. Unfortunately, it suffers from questionable design, janky movement while exploring, and confusing alignment system outcomes. It can be a treat for long-time fans, but it's also rough around the edges.

The idea is there, but the execution is heavily flawed at every step of the way. The game features good elements but they are buried in so much mediocrity that you have to strain to point them out from the bland mass. King's Bounty 2 would have fit right in if it had been released a few years ago. But at this point, the game came too late to offer anything new or outstanding among the plethora of RPG and strategy titles released since.

King's Bounty II is a good adventure game with better turn-based combat. There are plenty of elements to keep the player interested, but the story does not have the depth you might expect, and therefore doesn't warrant the $59.99 price tag.

Too often exploring the world becomes a game of walking in a direction until you realize you're not supposed to have gone that way due to high level enemies. Too often combat results in re-loading a manual save as you trial and error your way through various unexplained mechanics. There is a good game deep beneath the surface, but it lacks a lot of polish that it would need to be truly great.

Janky in all aspects, King’s Bounty II can be a worthy new entry for long-time fans or a terrible idea. If you’re considering this, just keep in mind that it’s rough around the edges.

Likable look, but unbalanced battles and gameplay. This sequel is disappointment .

King's Bounty 2 is a rather complicated turned based strategy game that might not be appealing to every type of player, and even though the combat and strategy elements are deep and engaging, the developer's decision to include a boring and repetitive 3rd person gameplay to the game really hurts the overall experience.

A flawed return for a classic series that doesn't quite nail the transition to an open-world third-person perspective. Interesting and fun combat balances out the bland exploration somewhat.

King's Bounty 2 features fun tactical battles while telling a memorable story as it immerses you in its high fantasy world. But, boy oh boy, prepare for a barrage of ridiculously long loading screens and plenty of other unstreamlined elements.

King's Bounty 2 shows that sometimes less is more. When trying to offer two distinct experiences in the same package, this sequel unfortunately fails to realize the full potential of either part. Despite the problems, its combat system still looks interesting, so fans of the genre will still find fun here. But, for better and for worse, the warning is registered that the majesty cannot be sustained only in the deeds of the past.

King's Bounty II fails in the exposition of its story and the introduction of an open world that is too conventional, both aesthetically and mechanically. On the other hand, its most fundamental premise, its stupendous turn-based combat, works perfectly.

This is one of those titles that, when you see a well-cut trailer for it, jumps out as having some real potential...
