Anyone played "Kings Bounty" on Genesis?
I saw this title at a game store today and was tempted. I quickly looked, and was disappointed to see it had not been officially reviewed on the site. Sega 16 has a rather ostentatious review, but it gives the game 10 out of 10. Anyone here played it, and willing to give me a quick review?

I've never played it (or heard of it) but when in doubt, and no other review site has it, I tend to check gamefaqs.
Sure enough I found about 5 reviews from gamers here:

Thanks, Rev. Looks like those reviews are all pretty strong as well. Perhaps I'll have to venture back and see if that copy is still in stock.

Thanks Breaker!
I never heard of this one and I love collecting unique Genesis games. I watched a review on Youtube and it indeed looks very interesting. I went ahead and ordered a copy off eBay. This will make a nice addition to my Genesis library.
Genesis Does!

Re: Anyone played "Kings Bounty" on Genesis?
I played through this one a year or two ago, and enjoyed it. I think it's well worth picking up.
Don't expect a conventional RPG or SRPG experience -- it's definitely got a flavor all its own, but if you can tune into its wavelength it offers a good time. I wish the passwords recorded more than they do (they don't record the status of garrisoned castles IIRC), but they're long enough as it is. Sega-16's 10/10 review is generous, but I could justify 8/10 for sure.
Oh, and the music (which is OK, not great) reminds my wife of those Zuiikin Girls language lesson videos. (You'll know what I mean when you hear it.)
