Rather than scrounging around to build an army, I’d just reload an autosave and try again. The game doesn’t give you a second chance, so it’s brutal in that respect. It just said “defeat” and I was teleported to the nearest fast travel point with zero soldiers. If I lost and all of my units were dead, there was no game over screen.
There just wasn’t any satisfaction to winning battles, or losing, obviously. If I had lost a unit completely, I had to go and buy them again. This was great, however, depending on how awful I did during the battle, the amount of money I received from winning wasn’t enough to cover all of my losses. If I somehow managed to keep at least one of the unit soldiers alive I could heal the whole unit back to its max soldiers in the victory screen. Winning by throwing sheer numbers isn’t very satisfying, and even in the best of battles, I’d end up losing a lot of my units. Most of the time, the best way to win was to have more soldiers in a unit than the enemy had. How dare they? Ranged units weren’t as susceptible to death’s embrace, but the up-close and personal units were always in for a beating. One of my biggest problems was that my units would die. It’s simple to use and you have the freedom to spin the camera around to spot where pesky archers or mages could be hiding. The game transforms into a top-down strategy game where you travel across the terrain in turns on a hexagonal grid slapped on top of the land you were just walking on. The most important parts of Kings Bounty 2 are the battles but I really struggled to get into them. King’s Bounty helps you with this by putting a lovely message at the top of the screen, that lets you know the strength of the opponent you’re about to face.
