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.

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.
King’s Bounty: Armored Princess is a game with widespread
appeal. With a fascinating storyline, beautiful hand drawn
environments and gameplay that is both accessible and immersive,
