The Bounty is a retro-inspired competitive RPG, with an East meets West approach, deviously combined with an arcade high score sensibility. An experience that will challenge your wits as you push to survive, uncover a multitude of secrets, and earn the high score.

## About This Game

The Bounty 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.
