Developer Lonely Troops is back this year, as the casual adventure RPG Hero of the Kingdom III [Official Site, Steam] will release with Linux support.
The game might not be for everyone, but it's good to see more developers continue bringing their later games to Linux. Our contributor Flesk tried out the original and seemed to like it. There's actually a demo available on Steam already which I tested and it seems to work fine, other than initial issues with multiple monitors.
You can see some gameplay from the demo below:

Is that it? A few static screens? Or the game has something more elaborate than the trailer shows, like travel/scrolling?These games are extremely simple. Just a few hours of casual clicking around. Good for when you just don't have the energy for anything more taxing. :)
That said, I wouldn't have bought them at full price.
Also there is pixel hunting to collect hidden resources for achievement. Thats it, basically. Easy and cal casual adventure with resource management. Good to kill time but not very engaging.
While being quite simple those games is quite polished, though. Backgrounds is nice looking, overall port quality is good, no crashes and glitches.

They're hidden object adventure games. I enjoyed the first two which ran just fine on my crappy laptop.
Will probably get this as well.
