Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 1

A small Game with not many Maps but still a lot to play. You need to be careful to use your Inventory well. You never know what you need next. So you need a good Micromanagment over your Inventory & Budget.

+++ easy 100 % Steam Achievements

++ Story is fine enough for such an small Indie Game

+ Graphics Sound are find nothing big for this Indie Game but charming okay (so expect nothing)

+ a lot little Sidequests to finish for this small Game

+ a lot of Extra to find (Mushrooms, Eggs, Boxes) & Money Food always low (not sold everything like Eggs)

--- No 5 Trading Cards

- very short/ small Game & a lot of backtracking to get more Health, Poison & Antipoison, broken Weapens or new Torches

If you like other Games of Series before/ Genre or Steam Achievements its worth to buy for 3 Euros or less.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy. GL HF <3

Oh my God, what a night....
Well, yesterday was simply planed. Home after work, dinner, chilling, planing to continue ENDERAL and having a look at the Friends Activity List, what they did that day.
Worked very well, until that moment i saw the new Game that a nice Friend, hi Tala :-), bought.

Hero of the Kingdom: the Lost Tales 1

In my head it began to work. Remembering Hero of the Kingdom 1 -3, many hours of playing and not to forget the addictive "just one more click".
LONELY TROOPS did it. They released a new part.
The Rest is more history.
Bought it, installed it, played it into the night, got all achievements (All fair) and that all in 4 hours.
LONELY TROOPS did it again. They got me.

So, what is this Hero of the Kingdom (HotK) all about?
It is a short Game, with nice Retro RPG Graphics Style, well fitting music and sounds, a little Story but highly addictive click and go Elements. This Kind of Gameplay is unique. I dont know other Games like this.
You just have to click through the Story. No Time running, just relaxing gaming.
As in every HotK you start as a "noboddy" that meats trouble in a little world, to help and become the Hero of the Day.
This Time a Dragon is attacking a little town and an Orphan Child needs your help. You, yes YOU! have been chosen to fix things right and became the Hero of the Kingdom!

Well, you just start with nothing. You have to collect things, raise your Gold, learn better fighting and more, have to do many Quests to raise your population to get forward. And that is done by simpel und chilling clicking. You have to explore a small world and you can simply travel through the maps by easy clicking like in Hidden Object Games. Oh, by the way, you can also choose for things in every map, like in Hidden Object Games. You can sell and buy things,it has a trading system, too. You can also craft things like potions or food.
Have a look at your health and raise it often as you can. No, you cant die, but each action needs Health and sometimes more. Again LONELY TROOPS perfectly balanced the Game. i was through in one Go with 100% Achievements without beeing stucked somewhere. Good job!

Again the price is worth what you get and yes, Hero of the Kingdom 3 is much bigger and maybe better, but it is like a Movie Series. Seeing again, makes happy.
And that is exactly what this game did. It let me forgot everything that is going on outside like Corona, just for a few hours. But well spend hours.
Thanks LONELY TROOPS, i`m smiling and thanking you for this little pearl.

So, if you are looking for a really simpel but chilling and addictive Game, this is for you.

Thanks for reading. :-)

Back to the roots

So this is a fourth game in the series and i'm so glad it went back to the style of the first game. I didn't like Hero of the Kingdom III, endless grinding and farming was boring and the game just dragged too long due to repetitive tasks.
In this game enemies and materials do not respawn which makes the game more enjoyable and doesn't require grinding.

As always it has a simple story to tell through dialogues. You're obviously a hero (duh) who finds a little boy and go on a journey with him meeting bandits, vicious animals and even a dragon on the way.
You do side quests from townspeople and collect materials to complete those quests. Everything is balanced well in my opinion. To do something you need to go somewhere else, gather materials, make food/potions, buy weapons/tools, go back and so on. Nothing special but it's pretty fun.

This game is basically the same and i think maybe developer should think of something new. Sure it's risky because it might end up a failure like the third game. Maybe don't take risky steps? Improve the story, make it more engaging and deeper, i wouldn't mind to read more. Maybe a new mechanic would help. Nevertheless even if it stays the same i'll probably buy the next one.

Graphics didn't change, same 2D style which looks pretty enough. There's a lot of areas to explore, each of those looks good. Maybe dungeons could use more variety.

This is a 2€ casual hidden object game with some light rpg elements, so if you enjoy similar games it's worth buying on sale. This is one of those games when you can't stop playing until you finish it.

Pros

• Fun addicting gameplay
• It's much more fun when nothing respawns

Cons

• Could have a better story to tell
