The hero is given a weekly commission from the king to track down 17 villains across the 4 continents.
The location of the sceptre, the artifacts and which castles the villains inhabit are all randomized each game, adding to its replayability. If the sceptre is not recovered before King Maximus dies (the time varies depending on difficulty setting), the game ends in defeat. For instance, not all the scattered map sections are required if the player is able to correctly determine the location of the sceptre's burial spot before acquiring all 25 map pieces, the game is won. Various details of this task are left to player's discretion, allowing for flexible gameplay. The player leads the hero and his army across the four continents, acquiring up to 25 pieces of a map revealing the hidden location to the Sceptre of Order before King Maximus dies. This was followed by additional sequels including King's Bounty: Armored Princess, King's Bounty: Crossworlds, King's Bounty: Warriors of the North, and King's Bounty: Dark Side. In 2008, a spiritual sequel titled King's Bounty: The Legend was released. The gameplay was also modified to incorporate real time overworld exploration. King's Bounty is notably considered the forerunner of the Heroes of Might and Magic series of games.Ī Sega Genesis port was developed and released in North America on February 21, 1991, with a multitude of graphical changes.
