  • FREE GAME: Hero of the Kingdom II

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 29 12:48:35 2023
    Why, GOG! A free game? You're too good to us.

    This time we get:

    Hero of the Kingdom II
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/hero_of_the_kingdom_ii
    Despite it looking like a strategy game, HOTK2 is closer to a
    'hidden-object' game, where you need to scour the map for tiny objects
    to fulfil the needs of the quests and quest-givers. There's some
    management in there too, but most of the time is spent pixel-hunting.
    But the colorful graphics and casual gameplay belie the grind and the
    game is surprisingly fun. It's not the sort of game I'd ever PAY for,
    but free? Well worth it.

    You've got two days to claim this one. Tick-tock people; The Number
    (tm) must grow!
