"King&s;s Bounty II is a decent turn-based RPG, but it&s;s also one of the most derivative games out there."
Read original review"A poor story, writing and performances coupled with outdated quest design make King&s;s Bounty II a tough game to play through.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 …"
