The Hobbit: Kingdoms

The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth, released on AND and iOS, was created as an official mobile adaptation of the Hobbit trilogy directed by Peter Jackson. The creation of this production was commissioned by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (owner of rights to games set in Tolkien's Middle-Earth) to an experienced Kabam studio, the creators of, among others, a browser-based The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age for PC.

Mechanics

The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-Earth is an online strategy with extensive social functions. We start the game by choosing a faction - elves or dwarves. The game takes place in real time and concentrates around the city, which we are slowly expanding with new buildings. We can improve them (by collecting enough resources) to open up more and more options and opportunities for us. The buildings where we recruit troops and heroes (including known and liked characters) are especially important, as the game takes place not only in the city but also on the map of Middle-Earth. Other players are our neighbors - we can form alliances or wage wars in order to achieve the highest possible place in the overall ranking. The land is also inhabited by hostile goblins controlled by artificial intelligence. There are also attractions from the Hobbit book/films, such as the city of Esgaroth, the dangerous Mirkwood or the threat from Smaug the dragon.
