Consumer Press Release for Immediate Release
March 2010 – Focus Multimedia, one of the UK’s leading PC games and software publishers, is bringing the smash hit adventure RPG King’s Bounty: Armored Princess to UK retail for the very first time.
King’s Bounty: Armored Princess is the standalone sequel to the multi-award winning role-playing game (RPG) King’s Bounty: The Legend.
Described as “awesome” in a 9 out of 10 review on gamesradar.com and “outstanding” by gamespot.com, King’s Bounty: Armored Princess is already garnering critical acclaim.
King’s Bounty: Armored Princess unfolds in a rich new fantasy world. Hordes of demons have ravaged the lands of Darion and defeated the troops of King Mark. Darion’s only hope is the legendary knight Sir Gilbert, but the celebrated hero left long ago to explore the distant world of Teana.
The player takes command of Princess Amelie as she travels to the mystical and dangerous kingdom of Teana in a quest to find Sir Gilbert and bring him home.
Armies of terrifying creatures and monstrous bosses all stand in Amelie’s path. Fortunately she has many new skills and abilities to help her overcome the enemies attacking the kingdom of Teana, including her own pet dragon!
The princess and her army of companions travel across a huge continent, communicating with other characters, collecting resources and recruiting an army. Whilst exploring, Amelie is controlled in real-time mode. When a battle takes place the game switches to classic turn-based mode with a strong emphasis on tactical elements.
