The much loved King Maximus falls victim to a plot by the evil dragon Arech Dragonbreath.
King's Bounty came with a sixty-three page manual, nineteen of which was dedicated to the games backstory. Seems a simple name change was all that was called for to make it stand out, as the complete essence could be found right here. This would be the game that Jon Van Caneghem would return to five years later.
It brings a big smile to my face thinking that despite the game being ported to the Amiga, the Sega Genesis would then go on to port the Amiga version of the game! A port of a port, and it makes me proud of my very first computer. New World Computing always seemed to go that extra mile for the Amiga. In 1991 the game came to the Amiga, where the artwork was completely redone for the system, and would later be used as the same art style that would go into the Sega Genesis port. It's not only like Heroes of Might and Magic, by God it IS Heroes of Might and Magic! While it lacks the name, it was made by the same company and man, it features the same type of units, the same basic concepts, and any fan of a Heroes of Might and Magic game will find themselves quite at home here. A seemingly forgotten about hidden gem which saw release on many computer platforms in 1990. King's Bounty 2 is currently scheduled to launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC next year.Enter King's Bounty. You'll find approximately three seconds of King's Bounty 2's turn-based battling in the announcement trailer above. However, diverse environments and obstacles will apparently now make for more interesting tactical options, while squads will consist of unique units rather than faceless recruits, with players able to fight alongside the likes of humans, elves, and trolls.ġC also notes that new features like Line of Sight and surprise mid-battle tactical events should make for a "deeper, richer combat experience". Gritty! But also fantasy.Īs for the combat, that sticks more closely to the series' roots, once again deploying strategic hex-based traversal. What that means in real terms is that the series' familiar isometric exploration has been replaced by rather more conventional third-person RPGing, with players ambling about, picking up quests, and having a right old natter with NPCs.Īccording to 1C, heroes' stories will change as the game progresses, with players' actions causing them to align with different ideals - Art, Order, and Anarchy - which, in turn, will affect how they're treated on their travels. Players can select one of three heroes, each with their own story, before embarking on a "non-linear, open-world adventure" across the blight-riddled land of Antara.
