1C Entertainment have released a new character trailer for their upcoming tactical RPG King’s Bounty II.
As previously reported, the series has shifted from it’s focus to dark fantasy- and features changes to gameplay as well. This includes equipment and experience points for units, factions within races, being able to keep an infinite number of units in reserve, and more.
The new trailer focuses on the third and final playable character; human paladin Elisa. Born a peasant from Lorain, she has endured a ten year civil war. Divine revelation and powers are suddenly bestowed upon her, letting her lead the charge to protect her village and surrounding lands, and be recognized by the king as legate. This means she can gain military resources to establish order in Nostria.
You can find the Elisa trailer below.
You can find the rundown of the game (via Steam) below:
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, fractions, enemies, and new features to forge an open and breaking fantasy world Antara.
