King's Bounty II, from 1C Entertainment and Prime Matter releases on Tuesday, August 24. While I am playing King's Bounty II for review, I was unable to complete the game in time for the embargo to offer a full written review. While I still plan on writing that review in the next week or so, I thought that for today I would instead offer an hour-long tour of the game, chatting about some of the mechanics and showing off a few of King's Bounty II's rather punishing tactical battles.
I'm enjoying the tactics involved with King's Bounty II's battle system, and getting a real kick out of the B-movie voice performances. Setting up the game as a third-person RPG adds a lot to the proceedings, allowing a level of exploration and discovery (and getting lost) that you don't normally see in games of this type.
Look for my full review of King's Bounty II in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, keep an eye on my YouTube channel for more gameplay posts as I work through the game.
