The Eador games: Eador Genesis (the pixel art original), Eador: Masters of the Broken World (a remake of Genesis with 3d graphics), and Eador: Imperium (a followup game). they're hex based or they include a troop mechanic, or both.įeel free to comment some other games below and I'll add them if they fit at least one of the criteria.Ĭhiming in to toss a few more games on the pile: While there are many 4X, SRPG, or TBS-type games out there, I mainly wanted to limit this to games which are sufficiently similar to KB i.e.

Eador: Genesis and Eador: Masters of The Broken World.

HeroScape, the hex-based board game (has a subreddit at r/HeroScape).

Shieldwall Chronicles: Swords of the North.

King's Bounty: Armored Princess and its expansion, Crossworlds.

King's Bounty: The Conqueror's Quest (DOS, Genesis, etc.).

They're all games which are objectively better-designed than KB2. Yeah, it's pretty obvious that they can't handle criticism and aren't going to ever fix their dumpster fire of a game.īut in the spirit of spreading good cheer, here are some alternatives that you could play instead, which might scratch the King's Bounty itch. How mature, professional, and thick-skinned of them!. Apparently, the KB2 devs deleted a thread I made on the Steam forums the thread in question pointed out the many fundamental problems with the game, what would need to be fixed, and asked if there was any news on when the patch is coming to consoles. Call me a cynic, but I doubt that even the upcoming patch will make it into a remotely good game after all, 1C is merely adding in features which should've already been in the damn game at release. I won't enumerate the many reasons why King's Bounty 2 is a complete disaster, since I already did that in my article for my SRPG website and in my video review, but good lord, King's Bounty 2 is an absolute disappointment.
