Knights of Honor II: Sovereign
- Platforms: PC
- Genre: strategy
- Developer: Black Sea Games
After 16 years, the second part of the strategy series is headed for the PC – we will influence the fate of the medieval kingdom in Europe. Traditionally for this genre, attention will need to be split between the development of a strong army, diplomatic relations, trade, spying, and development of cities. Although the gameplay is presented in the top-down view, the graphics are really beautiful and detailed, which can be enjoyed especially in cities.
The game is designed to be very accessible for beginners, without confusing interrelations and boring tables, and real-time battles will be extremely entertaining. For those who want to, the multiplayer mode will be an additional problem. If Paradox games are a bit too extensive for your taste, perhaps Knights of Honor II: Sovereign will be up your alley.
It's for you if:
- you liked Crusader Kings II or the Total War series;
- you miss good strategies set in the middle ages.
