King's Bounty 2

King's Bounty 2 is a turn-based game set in a fantasy world, where the process is divided into two stages. The first is a third-person journey through the lands of the kingdom. The journey goes through several areas, and the path is interrupted by fights and discoveries. Weather and time of day affect travel, and at night there are more dangers. The journey is accompanied by random encounters, and the camp serves as a resting place. During his wanderings, the hero meets story characters, receives tasks and assembles a squad. The world lives its own life, and the choice of remarks affects the reputation and further events. The detachment is recruited from troops, and their number depends on money and reputation. Artifacts provide passive bonuses, and their search leads to distant areas. The second stage is hex combat, where formations, troop abilities, and spell casting are important. The losses are significant, and replenishing the army requires money and time. The hero's development follows branches, and decisions affect the attitude of the factions. There are story and side quests, and not all are required. Units are replenished in cities, and their maintenance costs money. The hero develops through branches, and equipment and artifacts strengthen the squad. The world is presented brightly and with humor, and the plot depends on the player’s decisions. Battles require taking into account the initiative and characteristics of units. The hero's abilities depend on the class chosen at the beginning. For those players who love turn-based battles, this kingdom is suitable. Updates correct the balance and add tasks. Patches improve balance, and the community discusses squad builds.
