  • story
    168 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 2" is generally considered decent, featuring a self-contained narrative that is accessible to newcomers while still appealing to series veterans through familiar characters and themes. While some players appreciated the engaging dialogue and plot twists, others found the story to be linear and lacking depth, with repetitive quests and minimal character development.

    • “Great story, crafting, exploration, resource management, and let's not forget the lovely music.”

    • “The story does not add much to the game and the entire experience is linear.”

  • gameplay
    81 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in "Heroes of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 2" is characterized by its casual, point-and-click mechanics, focusing on resource management and quest-solving, which some players find engaging while others deem repetitive and lacking depth compared to previous entries in the series. While the game retains familiar mechanics and offers a few minor changes, many reviewers express a desire for more innovation and complexity, noting that it feels like a continuation of past titles rather than a fresh experience. Overall, it provides a relaxed gaming experience suitable for casual players, but may disappoint those seeking significant advancements in gameplay.

    • “The gameplay is engaging, featuring a mix of resource management and quest-solving that kept me on my toes.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it’s really just another chapter in the HOTK series: pick resources scattered across static screens, use them to complete quests or for crafting, have NPCs join you, assemble a small army and repel orcish invasion... it’s a casual game where you can’t really lose and which is good for a few hours of relaxing gameplay on a Saturday afternoon, or to give to your kids to play.”
    • “A casual and relaxing point-and-click adventure laced with satisfying and clean gameplay.”
    • “A couple of hours to finish it, a very small map, a very underwhelming story, but mostly a painfully repetitive gameplay.”
    • “I know, it sounds weird to say Hero of the Kingdom is repetitive, because that is the base of its gameplay, but here they managed to make it worse.”
    • “It's linear, without new mechanics; everything is reused from game to game with some small adjustments.”
  • grinding
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding grinding in the latest installment of the series. While some players appreciate the reduction in grind compared to previous games, many find the gameplay tedious and repetitive, often involving excessive backtracking for resources and potions. Overall, the game is seen as less grindy than the third installment but still suffers from a lack of engaging exploration and fun, leading to a more formulaic experience.

    • “A lot more boring and tedious than Lost Tales 1; the other early games had more fun/exploration, whereas this is literally 'kill 1 enemy then go back to get potions for the next enemy' over and over again.”
    • “There's literally an achievement for killing 115 enemies, and when every single enemy requires potions, sometimes multiple potions, it quickly becomes tedious and unfun. Most of the 4.5 hours I played felt more like a chore than anything else.”
    • “This one got really tedious, requiring constant trips back and forth to stock up on various potions; it began to feel a lot like padding after a couple of hours.”
  • music
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received largely positive feedback, with many players praising its calming and immersive qualities that enhance the overall atmosphere.
