This is a strange one. King's Bounty II takes a different turn from the top-down style of the preceding series and puts the perspective to the 3rd person, focusing more on the hero. Still, the basic mechanics of map exploring and the turn-based combat is somewhat similar to the old games. I think it works as a game on its own way, it's worth trying. Still, there are a couple of issues why it might miss the point for the fans of the genre. In a way, it is a sibling of Torchlight III and Sacred 3 because these tried something different as well and sort of lost the way. It must be mentioned that King's Bounty II did not stepped that far into the pit as these two. Its biggest problem is Witcher 3. Subconsciously, because the perspective, the sort of story-driven play, NPCs and overall expectations after the first couple of minutes that are different from the previous games, they all suggest a sort of thing. So, unwillingly everyone starts to compare it to something that looks like it, even if King's Bounty II is basically a tabletop exploration turn-based tactical game where the cam is just attached to the hero and Witcher 3 is an open-world RPG - yet in details like voice acting, music, story depth and overall fluency it falls behind. The second issue: despite that by basic mechanics it is the same map exploration, hexagon turn-based tactical game as the previous, pretty successful King's Bounty run was, the added details and the changed perspective makes it feel a completely different game. Very bluntly, King's Bounty II is Coca Cola branded car. Even if the roots are there, all the new additions moved the game away from the witty fairy tale style top-down genre. The witty fairy tale aspect was its unique feature compared to for example Heroes III that took it more seriously. The protagonist of King's Bounty II compared to for example the chatty-witty princess Amelie - well, he is sort of stiff. I think, inside the genre, keeping the style is important so for example core fans can connect to Olden Era while in the case of King's Bounty probably most of them would miss it in this game. The 3rd issue: the quality of the new additions. Again, it is a tabletop map-explorer that just attached the camera on the protagonist - but compared to the rest of the games with the same cam view (even if they are different by type), others with the same look and feel may be more refined. Stronger story lines, deeper characters, music with bigger oomph and so on. It is not that these aspects of the game aren't decent. They are just fine. The new perspective and the box that King's Bounty II opened just puts it to a complete new level of games that it has to compete against, in a fierce field. "Just fine" falls behind here. So, can you have fun with it? Sure, if you can wrap your head around that it is still the same root game as the previous ones despite that it suggests something else. Would you enjoy it on the long run? It is absolutely up to you, if you aren't against driving a Coca Cola car.
Since I recently replayed the original King's Bounty, I decided to revisit King's Bounty II. I completely disagree with most of the criticisms raised in negative reviews. This installment of the series is actually really good and, what I consider very important, it respects the player's time. I loved the first game when I was a kid, but today I feel it's a bit padded with filler encounters. King's Bounty II is much more well-thought-out in this regard. There are enough combat encounters and side activities to keep you from getting bored, but not so many that it becomes tedious at times. This is something previous installments suffer from, especially if you want to beat the game with every class. I think it retains the original atmosphere. There are far fewer units, but that didn't particularly bother me. At least almost every single one of them is useful, which can't be said about the previous games. The main storyline is decent, and a few side quests really stand out in terms of narrative. The alternative quest paths are also a nice touch. The horse riding is indeed terrible, but I simply ran everywhere instead of using the mount. This doesn't negatively impact the pacing of the game, and it actually allows for more detailed exploration. In conclusion, I think many negative reviews are simply based on idealized nostalgia that isn't entirely accurate. King's Bounty II is a really solid mix of an RPG and a strategy game, tailored for the modern gamer. It's not a masterpiece, but it goes on steep discounts so often that it's genuinely worth checking out. I highly recommend it.
So much undeserved hate for this game. Many reviews addressing old issues or riding a nostalgia train. Game is actually a really good successor to the previous games. Gaining something and losing something in certain aspects, but still a good attempt to reinvent the series. Once you remove your nostalgia glasses and give it a fair chance, you will not be disappointed.
