Heroes of Hellas Origins: Part Two

Fantastic graphics, SFX and appropriately suited music theme. A truly fun and unique match chain game.

Heroes of Hellas Origins: Part Two is a polished and content-rich continuation of the Heroes of Hellas Origins line, firmly rooted in classic match-three puzzle design while expanding its scope through mythological flavor, varied objectives, and steady mechanical layering. Developed by Jaibo Games and published by Alawar Casual, the game is clearly aimed at fans of relaxed yet structured puzzle experiences, offering a lengthy campaign that blends familiar tile-matching mechanics with a sense of progression and narrative purpose inspired by Greek mythology. At its core, the gameplay revolves around traditional match-three mechanics, asking players to align symbols on a grid to fulfill specific objectives within a limited number of moves.

It's fun and a great addition to the game,

Could be almost perfect - if they just reduced the number of random frozen tiles appearing.

With the timer disabled - there clearly isn't an issue. When you're against the clock, it's a different matter entirely. More so when you have zero control over it. Would be superb if they patched the frequency to be every 5 or 10 moves instead of every single turn.

Fun Match 3 (or more) game with a variety of impediments to keep the solving interesting. The only thing I don't like about this game is the required occasional hidden object puzzles that aren't interesting and just slow the fun part of the game down. I wish they were skippable. Works fine on Linux with Proton.
