King's Bounty review

Raze (1990): "King's Bounty is not a game packed with detail. It does, however, have many interesting features that make you return time and again. Recommended."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

King's Bounty is included in some HOMM anthologies, including the Heroes of Might and Magic Compendium and Heroes of Might and Magic Millennium Edition.

An unofficial fan sequel, usually called "King's Bounty 2", was developed in 1992. The author of the sequel is a Ukrainian programmer Sergiy Prokofiev. All text in the game is in Russian, and the messages often feature Russia-specific folklore. No English-language version of the game has been available.
