Hero of the Kingdom

Well, the main points of the game are: * Talk to people get quest * click on some objects/ressources (hidden in the scenery) to collect them (collect mushrooms, ...) * do some trade to get some objects/ressources you need (exchange x mushrooms to get x gold so you can buy a weapon) * do some action by spending objects/ressources to solve a quest and/or get other ressources (spend X hearth and have a weapon to kill a monster) In addition, you have some cute old school graphics with globally greeny fairy scenery, relaxing and not oppressing, even the goblins are somehow cute. About the story, it is bland and very family friendly, no big twist, no dark or horrific moment, some bad guys dies but no good guys, no marvel movie jokes (thanks god), nothing which will give a kid a bad moment, enough to have some nice dream of a small isometric kingdom. If the ressources trade part was not so tedious, I would have said this is recommended for 5 years old, but sometimes the economy system can block you hardly, and also there is no questlog, so you can quickly forget were you are if you are not playing the game in a single run, so maybe 8 years old (I personnaly played C&C and Warcraft II at this age). Or maybe it is good for you too, when you are in the plane, or had an hard stressing day. Do not expect something awesome here, it is polished, relaxing, no surprise game. And this is why it is good in this category.

Suprisingly relaxing and easygoing... But short...

The game can be completed within 90 minutes. No quest that I found had more than one way to finish it - you alway click through several dialogue screens, get items on several different portions of the map (tedious, without this "feature" the game would be 30 minutes long) and use them to get another dialogue. Neither can you influence the outcome nor do you have any decision to make throughout the whole game. Every task ist completed in the same way.

This game is great. I played this after HOTK2 though, so you can see where the developers vastly improved the gameplay experience. I actually fizzled out a few hours in, as it became quite messy... however, after a break, I came back and finished the whole game the past two days. I can safely say this game is great! This game will leave you feeling like you did go on an adventure across a fantasy kingdom.

Found this little gem, it's really nice for relaxing and having some fun, great for kids too. I like the simple and interesting story and the little secrets you can find in every map.
