For fans of the genre, King's Bounty II is not a terrible game, but it also isn't anything special. The developers purposefully took KB2's aesthetics in a completely new direction from its niche but beloved predecessors and overall the game suffers for it. Instead of embracing the cartoonish charm of past KB games, KB2 was created to look and play like a budget Bioware game, with emphasis on "budget." The Good: * Good amount of RPG character customization options * Lots of army and enemy unit variety * Challenging combat * Plenty of loot to find (but mostly junk to sell) * Very few bugs, and nothing major The Bad: * Story is bland RPG trope mush * Characters are uninspired and forgettable * Voice acting is generally bad with little inflection The Ugly: * Graphics from 2012 * Facial expressions are stilted or nonexistent * Extremely slow running through the world * Cannot rebind keys King's Bounty 2 is only for hardcore fans of the tactical grid combat turn-based RPG genre when it is available on deep sale (< $20).
