The D20 Beat: King’s Bounty II heralds what should be a fantastic year for RPGs

I find it amusing that a the resurrection of a beloved retro game is itself retro now.

I’m talking about King’s Bounty: The Legend, which came to PC in 2008. It’s a rebirth of the original 1990 game from New World Computer (made by the same folks behind the Might and Magic series, and it’s a progenitor for the Heroes of Might and Magic). 1C Entertainment put out a number of expansions and standalone releases over the next six years, culminating with King’s Bounty: The Dark Side in 2014.
