"If you fancy yourself some King&s;s Bounty, go and replay The Legend along with its expansions. Sadly, that&s;s the best thing you can do at the moment to satisfy that particular hunger."

"King&s;s Bounty II offers an enjoyable mix of a fantasy RPG and tactical turn-based combat that fans of both genres will lap up."

"Janky in all aspects, King’s Bounty II can be a worthy new entry for long-time fans or a terrible idea. If you’re considering this, just keep in mind that it’s rough around the edges."

"A poor story, writing and performances coupled with outdated quest design make King&s;s Bounty II a tough game to play through. Turn-based battles are enjoyable but can&s;t make up for the game&s;s numerous issues."

"King&s;s Bounty 2 had the potential to be something special in the tactical RPG genre but ultimately falls flat. It&s;s especially disappointing because the idea of combining third-person exploration with hex-based strategic combat isn&s;t incredibly common, and it&s;s clear there …"
