The Bounty V2 is a 4th wall breaking adventure which blends gameplay styles from traditional JRPGs, Roguelikes, and puzzle games, while adding a deep score system to drive the experience further. Players explore top-down levels full of monsters, hazards, secrets, and treasures. Battles are kept simple with an ebb and flow resembling the traditional style of Dragon Quest. Your character's attributes level up the way you choose; coupled with balanced gear options, you get an equally challenging, balanced experience while playing your character your way.
In the Story Mode, the player selects their difficulty level, names their character (including secret avatars via codes), and begins their journey through a concise adventure across four episodes. Some levels, treasures, riddles, and monsters are shuffled in each playthrough. This adds variety while retaining the experience of learning the game and maps.
In Casual Mode, the score system is disabled, and the player gains the ability to save freely, including an autosave feature. This mode lets the player enjoy the game at their own pace, and practice to score higher in Competitive Mode.
Competitive Mode is the more difficult primary game mode, with each monster, puzzle, treasure, and secret awarding points. With hundreds of scenarios, secrets, and bonuses, players have a virtually endless challenge awaiting them to get the highest score. Furthermore, completing the game opens Endless Dungeon +, allowing the player to play in the Endless Dungeon with their existing character, pushing their score to never-ending heights.
New to V2 is Adventure Mode.
In Adventure Mode, you find yourself *playtesting* a new and incomplete nonlinear game mode. Tasked with piecing together the Blade of Legends so you can enter the castle and defeat the final boss. This blade can also be powered up by finding the seven Legendary Orbs hidden within the dungeons- but these are completely optional. Will you rush the castle as quickly as you can, or take your time finding the orbs and boosting your score as high as you can?
This pushes the envelope a bit more on the 4th wall breaking side; with some pretty big surprises. There are bound to be a few laughs, but you'll have to wait to play it yourself!
The Endless Dungeon is also selectable as a separate mode. In this mode, players begin with a full loadout of gear and journey through a never-ending, always-changing dungeon. This is the perfect mode to play when you want to get in a quick game but you're short on time!
Also features Endless Dungeon +, which when playing on Competitive Mode, allows you to enter an endless dungeon after completing the main game, giving endless challenges and opportunities to blast your scores into the stratosphere.

The Bounty has to be one of the most unique games I've ever played. Myself coming from Nex Machina and Pacman 256. I needed another high scoring nostalgia type of game. And this is where the Bounty comes in. This is not your ordinary RPG game. It's a high scoring RPG. A humorous one at that. This is described as a Dragon Quest type of game. Which could be true but I've never played those. But this game reminds me of nes classics like Zelda, Final Fantasy and Uncle fester's quest(music wise). The music is really good in this game. Really captures the feel of the 8 bit era. The game is not super hard but challenging enough. The puzzles really challenge your common sense. I can even use a Dog whistle to signal a partner for my battle. Overall. It's a fun game. I recommend playing this especially for $4.99. It's really worth it.
An action r.p.g but not like you know it!
I keep my eye on new indie games and enjoy all genres. Its always interesting to see the imagination that goes into games that come out of smaller companies. I had read about The Bounty online over a yera ago and to be honest had forgotten about it. A friend told me of this new fun r.p.g action game he was playing. It turned out it was the Bounty. The game has an interesting premise and through the 16-bit presentation and 90's storyline my interest was piqued. It looks and feels very much like many r.p.g's you might of played on the Super Nintendo or Megadrive growing up. Do not let this fool you as it did me though. Playing this like a normal game will get you into trouble. The Bounty is like a condensed r.p.g, take out the endless wandering and chatting that you would expect and add in hi-score chasing. There are traps to be solved that are genuinely very pleasing to solve. I have no shame in admitting i was stumped by the very first one. If you play it you might laugh at my stupidity. I think what they have achieved here is something new out of something old and its worth the price of entry.
When you die, you die! I did and i'm looking forward to going back.
As an RPG maker dev myself, I decided to give it a try. I discovered it on a facebook RpGmaker group, glad I did. at $4.99 I believe I got my moneys worth. This is a fun game, but think before you act. Or you could end up like me as a chicken lost in the lost woods. (It would make sense if you play it)
Pro: Dungen crawler puzzles
Con: It's not for everyone. you can't rush it, you gotta take your time, becuase if you mess up you gotta restart
I will try for the hardcore no save achivement later, but for now, its see what I can do
The Bounty is a rogue-like JRPG that is very challenging. In addition to typical JRPG style turn-based battles, there are tons of environmental challenges as well. And if you're not ready for what the game throws at you, you'll be dead quick. There are rare opportunities to save, but each time you die you learn more about the game and you're able to overcome the challenge and move forward.
If you like a punishing and rewarding rogue-like, then this will be right up your alley!
The Bounty is a dungeon crawl game that can be played casually (just trying to get through the game) or competitively (hunting for high score with a lack of saving), it is made by an indy dev and lacks a certian polish but that adds to the bit-game feel.
It has secrets, it has monsters, it has challenges. It can be rather diffucult and frustrating at times.
Its game style is an RPG, it has basic line battle/JRPG battle system similar to FF and early JRPGs.
Its a good game at a good price.
You can repeat play and memorize most of the levels and secrets, it would be great to see randomized levels and challenges to give it more replayability.
It would be good if there was a way to compare score against friends and other players
