One thing that became clear when playing King’s Bounty II was that the world you’re in is quite full. You will quickly learn your character has just been released from jail, to help on this very important mission. Set out like many RPGs, King’s Bounty II is third-person and you will see a lot of similarities with other popular games of the same genre. Once you’ve selected your character, you will begin your story, starting with a tutorial which briefly explains how things work. Your job is now to recruit, develop, and command your very own army. Unaware of why they have the power they do, they’re the kingdom’s only hope.

The player takes the role of one of three ‘accidental’ heroes: Katherine, the Mage Eivor, the Knight and Elisa, the Paladin. That’s where our character comes into play. The King has lost his authority with no other nation stepping up and helping. This country is not what it used to be and bandits roam the streets, taking what they want, when they want.

King’s Bounty II is set in the world of Nostria, a kingdom now overshadowed by conspiracies, sabotage, and necromancy. The sequel expands on the original by introducing more immersive RPG elements, a bigger and fuller world, and a whole host of new ideas. For those that haven’t experienced King’s Bounty before, it is a turn-based RPG game with a conventional medieval setting. Should they have left this series in the 90s?Īt heart, King’s Bounty II is still the same game as its predecessor, just with a ton of upgrades - which is to be expected after 30 years. The original King’s Bounty was released way back in 1991 on the SEGA Genesis (as well as other platforms) so it was a bit of a shock to see the series return so many years later with King’s Bounty II on the Nintendo Switch.
