Hero of the Kingdom II Steam discount, Digi Mart USA News: Hero of the Kingdom II is currently 85% off on Steam until November 16, bringing its price down to $1.34 from $8.99. According to SteamDB, this matches the game’s usual discount level, which was last seen in September.
The story follows a young man who has found refuge in a small fishing village with his younger sister after losing their family. Their peace ends when pirates raid the village and kidnap his sister, prompting him to set out across a medieval fantasy kingdom full of dangers and secrets.
Rather than controlling the character directly, players click through hand-drawn 2D locations, search for hidden objects and talk to residents. Most of the local tasks require specific resources or equipment, such as gathering mushrooms, catching fish, hunting for treasure and trading goods to stock up on supplies and earn gold.
Battles against pirates, spiders and undead creatures play out automatically once the necessary equipment is available. Success depends mainly on diligent resource gathering, planning and smart trading, and there is no time pressure.
The game has been well received on Steam, with 94% of more than 2,400 player reviews being positive. Players have praised the charming visuals and peaceful soundtrack, while some criticised the repetitive collection and delivery quests and frequent backtracking.
According to HowLongToBeat, the game takes around six hours to complete.
Players expecting complex RPG mechanics or challenging combat may be disappointed, but the game suits those seeking a few relaxed hours of play. Its Steam Deck compatibility is officially listed as “Unknown”, though it has a native Linux version that ProtonDB labels “Native”, suggesting it should also run on Valve’s handheld.
Notebookcheck notes that retailer prices may change and the deal may be time-limited or subject to availability.
