There are two major philosophies of character role-playing design: the blank slate approach where the player’s actions define their character, a la Skyrim, and the focused approach where players experience the narrative through a well-defined character, such as the Witcher series. From a character standpoint, only Elisa’s motivations are clear enough and fit well into the story to make role-playing interesting, whereas Aivar is an empty brick wall, and Katharine feels inconsistent, despite having the best writing and voice acting. Where King’s Bounty 2 really starts to crumble is in its core game design, specifically in its role-playing and narrative, which feel archaic, grindy, and unengaging. Unfortunately, that’s the only major positive for the long-awaited sequel as everything else is only serviceable at best (with caveats), frustrating, immersion-breaking, and exhausting at worst. If nothing else, King’s Bounty 2 has plenty of content for players to sink their teeth into and discover. Players will engage in quests, make morality-shifting decisions, meet a slew of characters, explore for loot and secrets, and fight in small-scale tactical skirmishes.
In King’s Bounty 2, players take the role of one of the three available characters: the disgraced knight Aivar, the ambitious countess Katharine, and the kind-hearted maiden Elisa, who’ve been labelled as the saviors of the fantasy kingdom, Nostria.

It’s an excellent time for both old and new IPs to enter the market due to the increasing interest in the strategy genre, but can King’s Bounty 2 bring new life to this venerable series and reinvigorate its legacy? This year in strategy gaming has seen quite a number of revivals and returns for notable franchises, like Age of Empires, Knights of Honor, and now King’s Bounty, though there’s been minor spin-off titles in the franchise in the last couple of decades.
