Update: Unfortunately, I have seen a couple of reviews where they’re showing just the snowy tutorial area and saying performance is fine...yes...in the tutorial area it IS fine. But not in the main world. They’ve clearly not played past that so if you see a review with just snow footage...run for the hills (The green grassy ones!) Update 2: It looks SO MUCH BETTER and runs so much better on different systems. Here’s our review of King’s Bounty 2 - if the video has issues I do apologies I had 75 gigs of footage and it literally EXPLODED my editing rig hahaha. Hopefully it turns out ok! Let me know what you think. Mark
I feel like an old man (well, I am). Having to take my glasses off and holding the switch right in front of my face. DEX and Fire Emblem are two that spring to mind.
@@nintendoaddict9615 nope! I only play portable and the Switch Lite is perfect for that: it's the handheld UI optimization in many games to be lackluster. A lot of games heavily based on text are perfect (see Kalypso games as Tropico or Port Royale, they have a well done interface), it's the devs' responsibility to adapt the features to every console
Do the devs ever offer you guys an explanation when they release a game that needs heavy patches? I find it almost offensive. Like a restaurant serving up an undercooked meal for full price promising they will finish cooking it later.
30 years in the making...that's about how long I've seen the thumbnail posted in the "Coming Soon" section in the Nintendo eShop. Not sure if this one is for me based on the tactical combat system. I sure wish they had a demo that could introduce me to this style of game.
I'm honestly impressed that they even managed to port it and mostly keep it above 30fps. But let's hope they'll manage to fix the fluctuating framerate in a quick patch. And maybe fix that running issue... that sounds pretty annoying! I'll keep an eye on this one. Thanks for the review.
I'm seriously getting annoyed with having games with uncapped framerate and here makes even less sense aside from making it unstable. This could he easily fixed but just capping the framerate
Mark, the Devs are patching the run speed for the character and Horse starting with PC first then Consoles and Switch and you will be able to interact and pick things up whilst still on the horse as well they said.
Sorry to hear that dude. Finding a little game to take your mind off is a healthy way to move past this. Been through that, so trust me be kind to yourself in the meantime, and have some fun until you bounce back.
Already pre-ordered... Lol. Empire of sin had tons of glitches and still played it because it was so much fun. This one seems the same way. I'll let you all know. Cheers!
I'm just going through Dragon's Dogma for the first time ($15 on sale, thanks for the heads up), and that game has completely captivated me. So I'll pass on this for a while.
From other reviews, the general consensus seems to be that the game itself is great. It just needs QOL improvements like better tutorials, showing recommended levels of enemies, etc. switch performance seems to be pretty acceptable just with a few stuff that can easily be patched. I will probably buy when it hits $40 or so or the first patch comes along
I've been interested in this game for ages, but the performance has totally discouraged me to get it. I'll wait for those promised patches and for a sale. Thank you for the review. You guys are the best.
Was debating cancelling my preorder, but now I think I will keep it in place. If I can play Vampyr on the Switch and not get annoyed at performance, then this shouldn't bother me too much.
I have seen this one on the "coming soon" section for so long, feel crazy it is finally out. This is a definite wait for sale for me. It is very interesting but I am a turn-based noob so I know I will have my struggles with it!
@@daniellebackus819 even with all the Harry Potter school crap? That doesn't take you out of the game? I finally bought it digitally on a sale but I'm just scared to play it and get trapped in a slog of a game.
@@InnerRise well, I’m a professor myself, so I can’t really say that using a school system to level up my fellow characters was a turn off to me, haha. But yeah, I loved the game so much that I played all 4 of the routes in the main story plus the DLC. It’s honestly my favorite first-party Nintendo switch game… and I’m a lifelong Zelda fan, so that’s saying a lot.
I held off pre-ordering because I wanted to see the SwitchUp review first. The fact you said that with all its issues you still felt compelled to play is enough for me, that plus the promise of patches. Will be downloading tonight.
I can tell just from this review that the characters jogging animation is gonna really annoy me lol The game looks like the kind of thing I'd love, but I think I'll give it a couple months and see if some of the problems gets addressed.
Thanks for the review! I'm going to wait for a patched-up version and for a sale - the price is too high for me. I really liked KB: The Legend and KB: Armored Princess and their humour. :D
I have this on PC and I love it. It runs very smoothly, looks amazing, and just overall fantastic. I'm watching this review because I have an amazon credit and wanted to use it on another game and was considering getting this for switch as well.
I was pretty excited when this was announced for the Switch. Hoped that I was wrong on how the visuals would end up. Sadly, I was right. Hope they get it patched up. 😢 Thank you for the review! As always, great job!
I played the Original Kings Quest series on Sierra Online on the Old Amiga Mark remember that or are you too young? 😋 Anyway being an oldie Gamer when I saw your review pop up I thought I had better watch it and besides the problems you listed I thought I would give it a go until you mentioned…. the Cost £55 really. I think not Mate and I guess that is just for a download, I will wait for a Eshop sale I think I will make do with Baldo for the time being I think. Another Cracking review Mate 😊
I played the original and some of the off shoots like Armoured Princess and enjoyed them but I think I'm gonna hold off buying for now and see if they patch it up a bit before buying.
Two years on this is often on VERY deep sales. But it is even cheaper when on sale on PC. So if you have a PC with a discreet GPU from the last 10 years, an AMD APU from the last 7 or an Intel CPU from the last 3 you'll probably be better off with that version. Especially since this is a game that is far easier to control with mouse and keyboard...
Maybe if they roll out those patches quickly it might be worth a purchase. But not at $60, when it’s available on other systems. Which also need patches but at least the horse moves a little faster and the graphics are cleaner. (Unreal engine 4).
As soon as I saw this game coming out, I questioned performance and knew a switchup review was needed before I went for it. Excited to see them fix it up a bit and then I’ll bite.
HOMM is great... with #3 being the best in my opinion. I haven't been able to find a similar style game that can really even come close to that series.
Nice review as always. With that price and the competition of this type of game on Switch it's a hard pass.. that and im not sure mixing too much overworld exploration with SRPG is for me, i like those to play handheld and traditional SRPG with text + combat only is perfect for that
I love tactical RPGs, so will likely purchase this game at some point. May not rush to get it in hopes they can patch it out… but even if it ends up running better on another system, I just really prefer playing switch compared to PS4.
@@legromancer3509 Definitely just a guess - but certainly all versions have performance issues at the moment. Also, the original games had slower speeds of movement - it’s like they emulated those. Mark
Thanks I like the detailed review and scoring. I hope they do patch this up. I lived the first game on Genesis. Only problem I had was the continue codes never worked. Would love a remastered version on the switch.
I just got this game for 20 USD and it is instantly one of my favorite games! The horse runs like he just had a prostate exam, but the character runs just fine. The battle system is where the fun is for me :D
@@SwitchUpYt Yes! I highly recommend you do a follow up review. This game deserves a second chance! It is really fun. The character speed when they run is basically Skyrim in 3rd person. I play it on Easy mode and am having a blast. I wish they expanded the game and added more quests.
This is saddly a shame as I have been looking forward to this game since it was announced. This is definitely a "Wait for a patch" game. I'm sure you gentlemen will add it in a future "all patched up" vid if and when they fix it.
So interesting game, with decent progression and sound but that barely runs in a switch. Steam reviews are also MIXED so ill check a demo or something first, I was a bit excited to try this but now... idk.
I'm happy there's a good game at the core of it, in the future if they fix the issues I could see myself getting lost in this game! I'm glad its not just all bad.
So far my fav is the guy who froze his girlfriend then wanted you to give her flowers and apologize :') Honestly the game is decent, I just wish it didn't have the kings bounty name, I prefer the others in the series. That being said, why not release one of those on switch? As for the speed of characters, they are patching a speed up and ability to pick up and interact while on horse back, so at least they listened
Arrgghh, was going to pick this up tomorrow, that price/performance ratio is worrying though, i may have to hold off a little longer and wait for the patches, I'd rather wait and really enjoy it than buy it day 1 and be frustrated with it
Damn that performance... i plan to buy it on Switch but i can't in current state. I will wait one more month if they not gonna fix performance to at least 30 fps im gonna buy it for Series S.
I've been looking forward to this one for a while but think I will be getting it on the xbox to be honest. Though I might wait and check out your all patched up video
Looks like they were making a 3d action rpg then one of the hire ups decided that it was going to be called King's Bounty 2, Then later realized that if it didn't have tactical combat the fans would be pissed off so they added it last minute.
This game on goes to highlight in huge neon light that quality control within the game industry has gone, they don't care that a game is broken and in some instances down right unplayable like Troll and I. Do they even bother employing testers anymore?
The XB1X version is getting complaints about the textures and graphics also. That’s what I got this game 4. I should have got it on Switch. JRPG is more my style.
@@SwitchUpYt The other thing I'd mention is that the original 1990 game was also very difficult tactically. I clearly remember just starting off with these pitchfork peasants and having to figure out what these archers, and swordsmen were, and how to get them, the ramifications of the ranges and movement abilities... No explanation. The difficulty and mystery really added to fun.
Whilst I appreciate it being released the same day as the other consoles, but thats £50 saved until they have at least patched it properly. Thanks for the heads-up
I'll stick to divinity for now then. The game looks fun but I need a bit more stability. It runs great on PC but... Well.... Stuttering makes crashes so... Wait I shall.
Really needs to be played on the PC unless they can fix things. Even then the textures are too low resolution for me. The original was an excellent game and it's worth mentioning Heros of Might and Magic wouldn't exist if it wasn't for King's Bounty. Overall I agree with the review, you really want to like the game, but it's just not quite there as of yet.
Why are some companies able to get performance great on switch, like cd project red with witcher, but others, like this one, not. Does it just come down to the engine or the knowhow or a little of both.
More experienced programers knowing how to code and program it efficiently. Or a time issue. I'd bet the ladder. They wanted to rush and get it out first and worry about fine tuning it later. Which is BS. they're selling an unfinished product at full price
@@sselluoss5935 yeah that's a practice that needs to stop. Patches need to be for things that are legit missed during testing. Frame rate issues and lack of faster running would have been obvious.
Capped at 30 frames? Not a big deal. You must not have played through blight town in dark souls on Xbox 360. Haha Probably wait to get this though on sale. $60 seems like a stretch with the bugs and glitches

Brilliant!
The only sparks I saw is when you unleashed a barrage of magical energy on your unsuspecting opponent.
Great video Mark. I’ll be picking up the Collector’s Edition for an unboxing video. I kind of expected this to be rough around the edges to be honest.
Is this game worth a king’s bounty? Or a peasant’s single copper piece? Let’s find out!
Dragon's Dogma, this game is not
I’d like to nominate this one for an All Patched Up episode in the future lol. Cheers guys.
Lol portable is okish
Please, devs: INCREASE ALL TEXT SIZE! WE WANT TO PLAY PORTABLE WITHOUT HEADACHE!
I pretty much give this same feedback to 80% of the games I see, if not more :(
Or get that damn Switch Oled version!
It's as if some of these companies never test in handheld even though most are playing that way.

I was wondering why the price of this game dropped down so heavily on Amazon from £54.99 all the way to £17.65. I'm glad I watched this review first.
There is a new patch and its reported, that the game now looks SO MIUCH BETTER - can you check it ? Thanks

The amount of third person walking around I'm seeing vs the amount of battles worries me more than the performance.

@@sselluoss5935 yeah that's a practice that needs to stop. Patches need to be for things that are legit missed during testing. Frame rate issues and lack of faster running would have been obvious.
Great review, Mark!
Thank you for your review,,
I guess I will buy the PC version,,
Waiting for your Baldo review
I had very high hopes for this. I hope they make it better with patches.
kings bounty on the sega genesis is a all time top 5 game for me
Great review m8. Really appreciate your efforts. Not a pick up for me.
Capped at 30 frames? Not a big deal. You must not have played through blight town in dark souls on Xbox 360. Haha
Probably wait to get this though on sale. $60 seems like a stretch with the bugs and glitches
Hours in between fights? What were these developers thinking? The other games were 80% fights.
