Original-Gamer writes: "Casual games right now dominate the PC market in terms of wasting time at work, pretending to be writing out that all important proposal to only be caught playing a round of Bejeweled. Heroes of Hellas 2 is one of those games. The developers combined city micromanagement, puzzle solving, and Greek mythology to create a unique spin on the casual puzzle genre. But is it enough to keep players distracted from work or playing another game?"
Easy Interactive has today launched the Nintendo DS version of the popular Heroes of Hellas 2: Olympia. Published as part of the Purple Hills range, Heroes of Hellas 2: Olympia is a mix of management strategy and match-3 gameplay.

"With the strong puzzle gaming providing a great foundation, a greater emphasis on depth in the city-building component could make the next iteration of Hereos of Hellas a truly special game. Until then, Heroes of Hellas 2: Olympia is a fun challenge that is definitely worth checking out, especially if you will appreciate the added layer of ancient Greek culture."
The game greets you with a fully-voiced introduction, telling you how the land is falling due to rampant evil. You are to create a haven for the good people in the land of Olympia. Continue to grow and shape the land and its people, and you may yet stand a chance at freeing the rest of the world from evil.
