About this game

This single-player epic story about a good male knight hero (warrior, paladin, or mage) revives the original classic King’s Bounty game, which combines role-playing adventure and tactical battles similar to the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise.

Finishing the training at the Royal Battlegrounds to gain your first level of experience, you will be assigned to the vacant post of Royal Bounty Hunter and equipped with a certain number of troops and magical items taken during the training.

The King and his Infanta will be the first NPCs you talk to, after the trainer and fake "necromancer" themselves, in order to gain information on the country and the current situation, and to get a quest.

You may as well increase your army buying new troops at the castle and travel with them across a continent made up of linked locations.

Your character, riding a horse, travels in real-time in each location, representing the lands and waters, the undergrounds and the skies.

Different treasures, items, equipment, etc. are scattered on his way, and places should be visited to acquire something useful or not.

Skills, available in the form of skill trees with weighted nodes, may be developed with a certain number of magical crystal shards of three kinds acquired during travels.

You can also fulfill missions for the kings to earn promotions.

Enemies walk on the land in real time as well, so you may avoid or attack them.

The game switches into a turn-based tactical mode for battles, where you control your troops on the battlefield, cast spells and summon powerful Spirits of Rage.

Some of the more powerful enemies may either be controlled by unique villains of different levels or be one of 3 boss characters: Giant Turtle, Kraken, or Spider Widow.

Some battlefields are unique for castle sieges, or challenging to check if you're of the right level.

Various traps and bonuses that may change the course of a battle can also be found on some fields.

About Sega Genesis

Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.

Gamevaro tracks King's Bounty for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding King's Bounty to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1991.
