March 2025
Hero of the Kingdom III is a cozy medieval adventure that lets you step into a world of exploration, quests, and resource gathering. Its laid-back gameplay and charming visuals make it perfect for unwinding, but the repetitive mechanics might not appeal to everyone. If you're looking for a simple, relaxing experience with hints of RPG elements, this game could be a great pick for a quiet evening.

Hero of the Kingdom II How did I end up finding and playing this nice chillout game? I was looking for something to play with my son. This seemed to be a nice adventure game, where you explore various locations, listen to people and their troubles, complete simple quests, go into a dungeon or two and eventually become a hero and save a kingdom. It seemed like playing a fairytale for kids. And it delivers exactly that. I think it is a nice game for kids and will write about it as such. You never see your avatar, you are instead looking on the map and clicking on things that can be interacted with. That invokes a unique action based on the type of object. You get a text describing a situation, conversation… Art style tries to imitate drawing from a fairytale book. The map really looks like a rendered drawing on a parchment. Color palette favors bright tones, but caves and dungeons are exactly as they should be. Locations are various, filled with details to spot and click upon, collecting mushrooms, eggs…, spotting half covered crates, chests, pearls near the shore. Kids will get their exploration dopamin. Will care about country people, will help them with little troubles and will get renown and access to more troubling quests. Some involve fighting. But that is done in a very sensitive way. On the map, among other things, there's only a moving drawing of the creature and when engaged, your weapon's image will appear on top of the creature and will strike it 3 times. Dust will appear after each blow, the creature will make a sound and disappear from the map. No blood. The only thing my boy was sad about was hunting animals. Again there is a picture of an animal on map, when engaged arrows start to appear pointed to the animal with a woosh sound. Again they make a sound, disappear, no blood. You learn various talents. Everything has some form of achievement. Kids love those things, they feel rewarded for their effort and it works here well. Story is inspired by a Slovak fairytale called ā€œPopolvarā€. Involves a princess that was swayed by beauty of precious stone, thinking that ancient evil that produced it couldn’t certainly be so vile. She was wrong and ends up freeing him and dooming the entire kingdom to Earthquakers wrath. Our hero will start getting visions that will enable him to see what needs to be done to save the kingdom and princess. As the developers were doing more of these games, later titles became more user friendly. I remember that in the first game HotK1 you could spend a resource you would need for later quest, but here is nothing of that sort. You are free to use common resources as required by your play style.

This game is amazing. From the gameplay to the lore, this game is for casual and hardcore gamers alike. The lore is extremely rich and deep and it will keep you invested. I recommend this to anyone.

This series harkens back to a simpler age of RPGs. It's a joy to play. It hasn't got the depth of modern games and that's okay for the purpose: a simple RPG. There is some grindiness toward the end of this one, where the only thing keeping you from finishing the game is resources. It artificially stretches the game out. Overall, the entire series is worth playing just to enjoy something akin to the origins of RPGs, which everyone now expects to be an entire planet-spanning reality. Something to be said for simplicity when you just want to kick back and enjoy a game.

This is by far and away my favourite of the series, the renewable resources and crafting mechanic is something I enjoyed. The plot devices of visions to move the story along is probably the weakest aspect.
