It was a classic game concept. My earliest memory was of a helicopter game in the 80s, where the game worked basically the exact same way with worse graphics.
It’s a very 80s game idea, and those games weren’t for everyone, to be sure. But Flappy Bird wasn’t a bad game, just a typical time waster of its decade. With Super Mario graphics.
It doesn’t do all the things, but Hexerei has crows that can do some tasks. They can farm crops and they can collect items into a container.
They also can pickpocket villagers for emeralds
Challenges that require replaying a level several times to achieve them can be very rewarding
Unless the level also comes with unskippable cut scenes or long conversations on horseback
Every faction is evil
