Play Bounty Sword (Japan) Online

Bounty Sword came out for the Super Nintendo in 1995, developed by Lenar. It was one of those mid-90s releases that didn't get a lot of attention at the time, but it had a distinct approach to the tactical RPG format that felt different from the bigger names on the system.

You control a mercenary leader, managing a small band of fighters through grid-based battles and story-driven missions. Your main goal is to survive contract to contract, keeping your party fed and paid; if morale drops, members might desert at critical moments. The combat is turn-based, with positioning and weapon range playing key roles, and between fights you explore towns and dialogue trees where choices can alter which missions become available. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can spike if you're careless with resources. It feels like balancing on a knife's edge, where every decision carries weight and the world reacts in tangible, sometimes punishing ways.
