King’s Bounty II kicks off in the same way that Elder Scrolls titles do you’re a prisoner and then, immediately, you’re not. The “Eurojanks” only need to appeal to a specific audience. The blockbusters need to appeal to everyone. Whether it’s Spiders’ Greedfall or The Technomancer, Piranha Bytes’ Risen, Zuxxez Entertainment’s Two Worlds, or TaleWorlds’ Mount & Blade, “Eurojank” games have a soul and creative differentiation that AAA-blockbusters shine away into homogenisation. But here’s the thing: the plus side to the “Eurojank” titles is that the developers can actually produce their vision, and that is certainly the case here. Wood filmmaking was, and bless their souls, they tried, but the voice actors should probably look for different jobs. The cut scenes are cinematic in the way that Edward D. And yet all of this was made for a tiny fraction of the budget that an Assassin’s Creed game would be made for.

After the opening hour or so in which you’re restricted to a relatively small tutorial area, you’re dropped in a map that is absolutely filled with icons to chase around. It offers a world filled with factions, moral choices, side quests and exotic locations to explore. It has the world size and scale of a Witcher 3, with a complex tactical battle system that aims to modernise the Heroes of Might & Magic formula. King’s Bounty II is a wildly ambitious title.
