New here, why get this instead of just kings bounty 1?

[ɃƵ Crazy Cat Lady]

You ever see the sim city community argue over which one is better? they dont all just like the new ones, some of them swear by the old sim city 3.

From what i could tell this has a lot of extra cinematic rigmarole going on, I don't particularly care for that, i just want to jump into the game, get an army, go attack stuff. Would i be better off getting kings bounty the legend?

What does kings bounty 2 offer besides some better graphics and stuff?

I have all the King's Bounty titles other than the 1st one but had and played it.
Now King's Bounty 2 is and I was feeling the same way. oh why is this not like all the others with the 10,000 stack armies etc. But after I said well premier drop wish lists from day 1. Finally started playing it and enjoying it. I came to there conclusions.
These dev's don't just make games they play them. If you noticed on this title there was no kick-starter early access just a prompt that there's going to be another King's Bounty drop time passed and the drop. Now these guys felt it was more important to modernize the franchise from the keep in mind this franchise multiple decades old, format and some dedicated fans got in there feelings.
Now it's hard to top some of the titles in the franchise. With that said from a turned based tactical rpg stand point this a great title. The voice acting, story and new troop mechanics make you redesign your strategy of course and it's cleaned up from launch and very stable.
So this just my opinion they wanted to do something different and give a better overall experience with the game utilizing all the new game advancements that have arisen over time

King's Bounty 1 is super basic Story, Graphics and gameplay They should buy an emulator service from someone then release it. I rented King's bounty got some dragons flew around and killed some stuff.
King's Bounty - $10 would be great for collectors plus it will have lots of people waiting for sales.

King's Bounty 2 add a real story, characters somewhat, and graphics. But yes they should have number 1 too.

All King's Bounty games are super cheap nowadays, do you really have to choose?

There's a certain negativity surrounding King's Bounty 2, but in realitiy it's quite a decent game. It's just not the same as earlier KB games. There are no trash mobs and kiting of mobs has been removed. They all have a zone of control now. Squad numbers are also much smaller, but the fights are mostly the same. I'd argue it's the first two changes which make the game *feel* different. I really like how the world is done, very pittoresque. It's a slow and ponderous game often times (due to less focus on fights), but I'm having fun with it.

EDIT: Finished the game just a few moments ago. Good, but with some faults. Leave your old KB expectations at the door and expect a hybride RPG (adventure)/tactics game and you'll be fine.

If u like Ascension to Throne u WILL like KB2. Better story, better units, better gameplay (IMHO, i am a vivid fan of ATT). And with the price of KB1... not really a choice.
The only mistake devs done was calling this game KB2 instead of ATT2.
