Konung 2

По какой-то причине издатель Fulqrum Publishing решил выпустить обновления для своих старых игр. После долгих размышлений они пришли к выводу, что это будут не патчи, фиксы, достижения, карточки, Steam Cloud или оформления для библиотек, а что-то гораздо более важное — очередной лончер (Fulqrum Launcher). Хочу обратить внимание: ПК-игроки уже устали от бесконечных лончеров. Это заметили даже крупные издатели, которые начали постепенно убирать лончеры из игр, выпускаемых в Steam. Реакция сообщества King's Bounty на новость о добавлении очередного лончера, была столь бурной, что часть тем пришлось удалить. Но вместо того, чтобы учесть обратную связь, вы продолжаете выпускать обновления для всех «своих» игр с добавлением лончера. Надеюсь, рано или поздно человек, отвечающий за эту «диверсию», будет уволен, и всё вернётся на свои места.

Мне казалось, что какая-то старая игра, я в нее на стыке веков играл, что там может быть хорошего сегодня?! Но стоило только начать и затянуло с головой. Невероятная атмосфера.

Joguei Konung 2 hoje enquanto estava sem internet (então bem mais tempo que a steam está marcado, acredito que cerca de 2 horas) e posso dizer que ele até podia ser um jogo regular no passado (eu duvido um pouco), mas envelheceu muito mal. Além das limitações técnicas (resolução travada e gráficos horríveis) o jogo já começa sem nenhum tutorial, o personagem anda devagar demais, até você pegar o jeito e descobrir o que fazer o jogo já te cansou e veja bem, eu gosto de RPG isométricos, mas aqui tudo parece ser MUITO lento e mal explicado (quando é explicado) e eu não tenha paciência pra continuar tentando ver se o jogo melhora. Recomendo comprar só se você já conhecer o jogo de outro lugar, até pra quem gosta de jogos velhos esse jogo não é bem visto (só olhar a nota no metacritic). ------------------------------------ I played Konung 2 today while I was offline (so for much longer than Steam says, I think it was about 2 hours) and I can say that it could have been a regular game in the past (I doubt it a little), but it has aged very poorly. In addition to the technical limitations (locked resolution and horrible graphics), the game starts without any tutorial, the character moves too slowly, and by the time you get the hang of it and figure out what to do, the game will already tire you out. And look, I like isometric RPGs, but here everything seems to be VERY slow and poorly explained (when it is explained) and I don't have the patience to keep trying to see if the game improves. I recommend buying it only if you already know the game from somewhere else, even for those who like old games this game is not well regarded (just look at the score on Metacritic).

Издатель решил принудительно (под видом обновления) добавить в старую классику собственный лаунчер (реклама, сбор данных - все как мы любим). Отзыв будет оставаться отрицательным, пока лаунчер не будет удален из игры. Всех неравнодушных призываю присоединиться. Не в нашей власти отправить "эффективного" менеджера делать что-то полезное, зато отзывы и дальнейшая покупка игр от данного издателя зависят от нас. The publisher decided to forcefully add their own launcher to an old classic (under the guise of an update) (ads, data collection—everything we love). Until the launcher is removed from the game, the review will remain negative. I encourage all concerned players to join in. We don't have the power to send an "effective" manager to do anything useful, but reviews and future purchases of games from this publisher depend on us.

В этой игре мне больше всего нравится отсутствие спешки в прокачке и прохождении квестов. А так же затянутость в процессе прокачки спутников.

I'd eat my left shoe before believing 88% of players on Steam have actually positively reviewed this game AND actually played a worthwhile amount. Very positive my a**. $0.59? Still not worth it. It's got a 35/100 on Metacritic for a reason... This game could be free and the amount of bugs, lack of quality-of-life updates, and its general poo-poo-like quality all make for an overwhelmingly not worthwhile game. I'm not sure it ever was... Avoid this game.

проходил Князя 2 ещё лет 15 назад, словами не передать, насколько приятно вернуться в эту атмосферу и пройти игру от корки до корки) жаль что серия Князь закончилась, 3я часть это вообще не то, зря купил)

в далеком 2006 когда мне было 9 лет я покупал бу диск с этой игрой в киоске магазина высшая лига за 40 рублей , а сейчас в конце 2023 покупаю её же за 25 рублей на распродаже в стиме. Тогда доллар был по 25,я совсем юный и не знавший жизни, сейчас доллар стоит сотку а я порядком устал. Игра хорошая, советую фанатам старых рпг.

Konung 2 is the second game in a niche RPG series rooted in Byzantine, Slavic, and Viking mythology. This isometric fantasy RPG is really rough around the edges. I played the first game as a kid and picked up this one and the third during a sale, curious to revisit the series. There is no tutorial and the manual is very basic, leaving many gameplay features unexplained. I’d recommend looking up a guide to uncover hidden mechanics that can make playing easier. Even playing on a lower difficulty, the game is unforgiving and hard. It is buggy and glitchy at times, like getting stuck on enemies, but there are workarounds. The story continues from the first game, though it’s fairly thin. Your goal is to defeat the corrupted hero from the first game, who has been consumed by the artifact you once sought. However, with translation mistakes and limited narrative depth, the story didn’t feel as engaging as it could have been, and I found the first Konung had a more compelling plot. Graphically, the game looks dated, with a bleak color palette, but I appreciate the detailed character portraits. Unfortunately, female character models are identical to male ones. The music is mediocre, and while the overall atmosphere fits the tone, it feels lacking compared to more modern RPGs. Voice acting is sparse, and most characters repeat the same lines when clicked on, adding to the repetitive feel. The game lets you go where you want, but some areas stay hidden until you trigger them by talking to the right people. While moving between zones, you can get ambushed by roaming enemies. There’s very little help when it comes to figuring out quests; no markers, barely any descriptions, and a journal that just lists basic info like quest names and potion recipes. Combat is in real-time, and while you can control up to eight companions, managing battles is tough. The enemies often come in large groups, surrounding you and interrupting attacks. Since the game doesn’t let you pause during fights, things can get hectic, especially when you need to manage healing. Fighting is also really slow in general and takes a long time, especially in the beginning. On top of that, XP is only awarded to the character that lands the killing blow, which makes leveling up your team a frustrating micromanagement task, as stronger characters tend to dominate. Also, only your main character gets XP from solving quests. This imbalance makes it difficult to advance weaker party members, leading to a lot of grinding, especially mid to late-game. Dead companions are gone forever and can’t be resurrected. You level up by putting points into stats and skills, and there’s a good mix of gear to find; different weapons, armor, and accessories. Each of the six characters you can pick starts out in a different area of the map. I played as Anastasia, one of the more challenging characters, who starts alone in a hostile environment with limited resources. She can only recruit female followers, which adds another layer of difficulty. Ranged combat is especially hard to manage early on, as arrows and bolts are both scarce and expensive and take inventory space. Other characters may start with a settlement and companions. I enjoyed experimenting with the potion-mixing feature; discovering new recipes was one of the more satisfying aspects of the game. Town management is another unique feature, but it is somewhat bare-bones and slow. You can become the Jarl of various villages, earning passive income from tributes and constructing missing buildings like a healer's hut, blacksmith or barracks. However, there aren’t enough NPCs to fill every position in your settlements unless you sacrifice your companions to fill the roles. Your settlements are also vulnerable to raids from roaming enemies. These raiding parties grow stronger over time, and while villagers can sometimes defend themselves, you’ll often have to recapture a village yourself. It is sometimes difficult to spot quest-giving NPCs since every character is named, and it’s hard to tell them apart. However, each town only has a handful of NPCs and usually just 1-3 quests, so this issue isn’t overwhelming. Konung 2 is hard to recommend unless you’re a fan of old-school, unforgiving RPGs with a high tolerance for grind and janky mechanics. I enjoyed the nostalgic elements and exploration, but the game’s flaws, from its real-time combat issues to its bare-bones quest system, may turn away most players. For the sale price of 0.74€, it’s a decent deal, but it’s certainly not for everyone.

Хорошая игра. В детстве был диск с игрой Князь 2: Продолжение легенды. Ее б Стим еще...
