✨✨✨✨✨

I want to tell people it is a lovely game, and highly underrated !

I was skeptical when I started playing this , because it didn`t look like my other KB games.

And now,
I absolutely love it !
I do understand why people who wanted a new Crossworlds don`t get it - but I see it as a whole new game, and I truly enjoy every moment !
It is different. And a pretty , fun, relaxing, exciting , with lovely music as always - and it is definitely a KB.
Don`t listen to the angry disappointed voices - there are a lot of people like me who loves it.

The positive :
1. The story . Actually very much like every other KB story ; Fantasy , and not very deep, but interesting so far , with surprises , heroes and villains, twists and turns.

2. Easy learning curve . The game is very gentle on you in the beginning, with few fights , and lots of social interacting and treasure hunting. ( Probably why some people thinks the game is too easy - but it sure is not ! )

3. The fighting. It is different from former KB`s in some ways. The army you have is restricted to very few of each unit, and in stead of one unit representing all, they all show on the fighting arena . Also, terrain matters .
When you get used to it, it`s fun ! , and you have to plan your tactics and army carefully.

4. Nice skill management - and here too, you need careful planning. You can change your choices whenever you like, and the first time is for free. If you choose to change them later, it will cost you. There are four categories of skill trees, and you have to meet certain requirements according to alignment and moral, to reach the skills you want . Which means you have to choose carefully what choices you make when doing quests.

5. Three main characters to choose from, and if you like ; And several different ways to play the game.

6. Lovely music, as always.

7. Very Pretty Colourful World .

8. Relaxing in the way most turn-based tactical games are. Only, you are better off playing with a controller than your keyboard and mouse ( personal opinion, of course ).

9. Shops are like in most RPG`s , they sell better and better stuff the further in the game you are.

10. An early complain people had was about the character and her horse`s slow movement . This has been fixed , so it is no longer an issue . Thank you, devs !

11. The troop management is a great . You can have numerous reserves, and so you can choose what troops to use in what fight . Thumbs up !
......

The negative ( Not horrible, just a couple of things that could have been better , imho ) :

1. The puzzles - are nice, but way too easy to solve ; Look around a bit, and the answers will be given to you. Most of the time your protagonist tells you what to do . Later in the game you have to use your brain a little more - but not that much.

2. The treasure chests most often contains useless trash, only to sell for money . - However , and this in on the plus side again ! ; You do find a lot of nice spell scrolls - dearly needed !

3. The tutorials are not very informative - Several features could have been a lot better explained .

......
I am personally willingly pay the price for this , and I most certainly believe that developers should be properly paid for their work.
Compared to other games of this quality, the price is absolutely right.

Dear Talana, thank you for this very enlightening review. Because of it, I'm about to purchase the game for myself. I'll know not to go into it expecting it to be like the old Kings Bounty. And I'm fine with that. :104:

Thank you so much, dear Corwin :hi5ally::happyz: KB 2 deserves so much better than what many people said about it ! Highly underrated !

When a company tries to make a "continue game" of a beloved franchise , they do take a big risk if they make changes . They need to keep both old fans and new gamers happy , which is a balance that is far from easy.

My personal suggestion tor KB 2 would have been to :
1. I would not have put it in he store before the slow movement was fixed. This made a lot of gamers crazy . Sadly , bad reviews poored in because of it.
2. Added more interesting stuff to the loot chests ! Heartfelt ! Really !

But overall, I absolutely love KB 2 ! I heard there is no sequel as they had planned. That saddens me deeply ! :steamsad:
