''[[King's Bounty]]'' was a video game made in 1990 by New World Computing back when they were still young and filled with hope and dreams, the game play was much like the ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' games of today but rather then controlling an entire kingdom you played a single hero with a salary and unit limit determined by level, rank, and other things.
King's Bounty was popular enough in Russia to spawn a couple of unofficial fan sequels for the Amiga called King's Bounty 2 and 3 (Regrettably neither of these are available in any language but Russian) and two modern sequels for the PC called King's Bounty: The Legend and King's Bounty: Armored Princess, both of which have been translated into English.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Amelie in ''Armored Princess''
* [[Actually Four Mooks]]: As usual, groups of enemies are represented by the model of the strongest creature on the map but can be composed of up to nine stacks in actual combat.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The [[
* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: They change depending on the day and night cycle. At day, they are thougher and turn to stone when killed, providing an obstacle. At night, they got a lot more movement and regenerate.
* [[
* [[Animate Dead]]: The Necro Call spell
* [[Attack of the Monster Appendage]]: In ''Legend'' you first see the Kraken's tentacles on the man sinking the ship of the pirate captain who lead you there. Later you have to face the whole beast, but you have to kill the tentacles.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Amelie's pet dragon pup. As cute as the name suggests, and spends most of it's time idling next to the battlefield sleeping and eating. Also capable of a wide range of powerful attacks and useful utility skills.
* [[BFS]]: Zerock's basical attack consist in turning in a colossal sword and dive on the target.▼
* [[Beef Gate]]: You can go almost anywhere you want from the start, but good luck outrunning the guards in high-level zones.
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: The remake lampshades it tropes to hell and back.
* [[Big Bad]]: The Wicked Dragon Haas in ''Legend''.
▲* [[
* [[Breast Plate]]: Amelie on the cover of ''Armored Princess''. That's only the mage version of her, though. The warrior and paladin versions have relatively realistic armor.
* [[Class and Level System]]: The more recent games offer 3 different classes: the might-oriented Warrior, the magic-oriented Mage, and the Paladin, a mix between the two with a side of holy powers. Most talents are available to all of them, but leveling up mainly rewards the runes of their specialisation tree (Might, Mind and Magic).
* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: You can either hire a truckload of weak units or a handle of very powerful units as you prefer.
* [[Cursed
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Higher difficulty playthroughs tend to favor the AI when it comes to RNG. The AI can also field a lot more units than the player, and AI heroes got a lot more mana than it would be possible for the player character (however, they can't regenerate it).
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: While mostly played straight, there are several undead and demon towns that are friendly towards you. The Nameless Island in ''Armored Princess'' in particular. A necromancer took it over after the population was wiped out by a plague, and reanimated everyone to continue their lives, so to speak.
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* [[Dem Bones]]: Common undead units, as melee or archers.
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: [[Punny Name|Zerock]], the Rage Spirit of rock can smash enemies with boulders, form walls or crystal spikes and even turn himself in a gargantuan sword to impale his foes.
* [[Distracted
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Fire and Poison have their own element, everything else is considered magical
* [[Enemy Exchange Program]]: Happens quite often, as you'll find buildings in every area offering creatures to hire that tend to be the same set as the ones you fight the most.
