Asset Management As the player explores, he encounters various types of creatures native to the different continents, some of which are able to be recruited. The location of the sceptre, the artifacts and which castles the villains inhabit are all randomized each game, adding to its replayability. Some of these chests represent various events that increase the hero's inherent abilities, such as magical strength or weekly income others may contain one of eight artifacts, which themselves provide a piece of the map, in addition to conferring their own unique powers. Along the way, numerous treasure chests are encountered scattered across the map. With each defeat of the progressively stronger villain's army, the character claims (along with the reward money for the "King's Bounty" on that villain) another piece of the map revealing the sceptre's burial location. The hero is given a weekly commission from the king to track down 17 villains across the 4 continents. If the sceptre is not recovered before King Maximus dies (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. Objectives 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. The gameplay was also modified to incorporate real time overworld exploration. A Mega Drive/Genesis port was developed and released in North America on Februwith a multitude of graphical changes. King's Bounty is notably considered the forerunner of the Heroes of Might and Magic series of games. The game follows the player's character, a hero of King Maximus, appointed with the job of retrieving the Sceptre of Order from the forces of chaos, led by Arech Dragonbreath.
King's Bounty is a turn-based fantasy computer and video game designed by Jon Van Caneghem of New World Computing in 1990.
