Fairy Tales: Three Heroes Demo

Fairy tales usually feature classic black and white situations, with good and evil going twelve rounds with each other. Since the handsome hero wins every time, the journey is much more interesting than the end, with plenty of challenges and tests that require strength and wits in order to overcome.

Fairy Tales: Three Heroes is a third-person action-adventure game with role-playing elements, which follows the fate of three classic heroes as they go head-to-head with bandits and epic monsters. However, everything is coated in a thick layer of humor and satire, so don’t expect too much depth when it comes to characters or the events that transpire as the story unfolds.

Speaking of which, the story is actually based on classic Slavic myths and fairy tales, so you might stumble into familiar names and concepts, if you are up-to-date with the local legends. The heroes are big and powerful, the bandits are vain, weak, and ignorant, while the monsters are huge and fearsome. In a word, it’s everything you would expect from a fairy tale.

The casual nature of the game can be observed in the combat mechanics as well, since they are quite straightforward and simple. All you have to do is click whenever you want to attack and the game does everything else for you. There are some special abilities you can employ as well, in case you want to stun the enemies or incapacitate them in any way.

Because there are some RPG elements floating around as well, your character can be equipped with a variety of items along the way, although you shouldn’t expect anything more than a few weapons and shields. A few potions and healing items can be picked up as well, but there isn’t a proper inventory to hold all these, so it’s very easy to handle everything.

All things considered, it’s the humor and the colorful graphics that make Fairy Tales: Three Heroes so attractive. The mechanics are way too simplified to make the experience challenging or memorable, but the characters and the story are funny enough to keep you playing, just to see how the tale unfolds.
