Meanwhile combat encounters, denoted by a large highlighted area on the overworld, play out in turn based combat. The story, exploration, gathering of quests, and trading of items, takes place in a large third person overworld. At its most basic level, King’s Bounty II can be divided into two primary forms of gameplay. But, especially early on, your choice of character will have a pretty big effect on combat.
