King's Bounty II
The King's Bounty turn-based tactics series returns with King’s Bounty 2! In addition to the tactical depth fans expect from its combat, immerse yourself in the fantasy world of Antara with a whole new, non-linear narrative and deep RPG mechanics that give weight to your every decision.
What it's about
Set in the fantasy world of Antara with magic, mythical elements, and adventure typical of high fantasy settings. The structure involves a protagonist undertaking a significant quest within a fantasy world, classic heroic narrative framing. The fantasy setting includes medieval elements like kingdoms, warfare, and feudal structures.
How it plays
Turn-based grid-based tactics combat is the foundational mechanical pillar of the King's Bounty franchise and King's Bounty II specifically. Assembling and directing a squad of distinct units/characters in tactical formations is a core system inherited from the series. Weighty decisions throughout the campaign shape the story and outcomes, emphasizing choice meaningfulness.
How it looks and sounds
Steam tags mention third-person perspective, the standard viewpoint for exploration between tactical battles.
How it's structured
A bounded, authored story campaign with multiple branching narrative paths that give weight to player decisions, forming the core narrative arc. The game explicitly features non-linear narrative progression where player choices determine the order of objectives and story paths. Player choices fork the narrative into meaningfully different paths and outcomes, central to the non-linear story design.
