In the kingdom of Nostria, conspiracies, sabotage, and necromancy threaten a realm in disarray. Choose one of three heroes and set out to help restore order.
Explore Antara from a third-person perspective, taking on quests and finding resources, troops, and equipment. Decisions can open different quest paths and tie into character development.
Recruit and develop an army, then command it in turn-based tactical battles on hex grids. Unit abilities, squad composition, hero skills, and battlefield terrain all contribute to your tactics.
Player reactions are mixed. Reviewers who enjoyed the game often point to the tactical battles, especially planning unit placement and army composition, and to developing troops to handle tougher fights. Some also liked the fantasy atmosphere, music, and unhurried exploration. Others found the combat shallow or poorly balanced, and frequently criticized slow travel, awkward horse controls, and repetitive trips across the world.
Darkness descends over the world of Nostria. Conspiracies, sabotage, and necromancy are overshadowing the country. But maybe a saviour – the kingdom's last hope – is already here, to fight back and finally restore peace and order in Nostria!
King’s Bounty II is the long-awaited sequel to the legendary King’s Bounty video games franchise, one of the most iconic representatives of the turn-based RPG genre. Expanding on this legacy with an entirely new epic story, factions, enemies, and new features to forge an open and breaking fantasy world Antara. With the kingdoms in disarray, counties demanding independence, bandits prowl the roads, all the overseas nations have denied the King’s authority over them, and blighted creatures lie in wait for the unwary, new accidental heroes emerge as a last hope.
They are determined to bring order to the chaos. Play as one of them, recruiting, developing, and commanding your personal army on a non-linear adventure of betrayal, sacrifice, and survival. Fighting for your own future, outsmarting enemy in uniquely turn-based combat, making difficult decisions, and experience the intensity of one of the classic sagas in an exciting new way.
Play as one of three main heroes, rescuing and building your personal army in a journey of leadership, survival, and sacrifice. Every decision you make has profound and lasting consequences.
The world of Antara is wide open and ripe for exploration. Unearth hidden places and dangerous enemies — Antara is a vast home to a thousand wonders and secrets for players to discover.
Each army squad has its own set of skills and visual appearance. Build armies of different creatures who will fight with you throughout the majority of your adventure.
