Kingdom Heroes — Play Free Online

Action & Shooting

Kingdom Heroes is an action and shooting game with keyboard movement and mouse aiming that you can play free in your browser, no download.

Kingdom Heroes is an action and shooting game that runs directly in the browser. You steer a character around the screen, aim with the mouse and fight your way through whatever the game throws at you. There is nothing to install and no account to make, so you can open the page and be playing within a few seconds.

It is a different kind of game from the headline title on Doodle Jump. Doodle Jump is a one-button-and-tilt climber where a single mistake ends the run. Kingdom Heroes asks for more of your hands: movement and aiming are separate jobs, and you have to keep both going at once. If you have been playing jumpers for a while and want something that uses the mouse as well as the keyboard, this is a reasonable change of pace.

How to play

On a computer, move with the arrow keys or WASD and use the mouse to aim and to pick options from the menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. The game is listed under Action & Shooting, so expect the core loop to be moving, aiming and attacking rather than puzzle-solving or platforming.

Click inside the game window first so it picks up your keyboard input. If the character does not respond, that is usually the cause. The page also plays best with the browser window large enough to see the whole play area.

Tips

Use WASD rather than the arrow keys if you are right-handed, so your right hand stays on the mouse for aiming.
Keep moving while you aim. Standing still to line up a shot is the easiest way to get hit in any game of this type.
Spend a short first session just learning how movement and aiming feel before you worry about doing well.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

If you want to stay with action, Day D Tower Rush and Bloons Tower Defense 2 are both more about positioning and planning than reflexes. Ovo 2 and the original OvO game are fast precision platformers, and Fireboy and Watergirl suits two players sharing a keyboard.

Kingdom Heroes suits a short break on a laptop with a mouse, though the touch controls mean it can be opened on a phone too.
