Hercules has returned and he's stronger than ever! After declining Ares' request to help him conquer the world, he must now save the children of Hellas who have been given enchanted toys that render them zombies! Megara joins her husband on this adventure, restoring the lands, and helping tree saplings grow with wicked speed. Hercules must carve a path throughout the lands, removing boulders and landslides, freeing prisoners and returning the children home safely (and unzombified) Hercules must find the Toy Factory and destroy it if he is to defeat Ares, the God of War.

There are three different modes of difficulty, Relaxed, Casual and expert, and every level that is completed within Gold Time (3 stars) will reveal a part of the ancient castle which I believe is supposed to be Mt. Olympus, but I could be wrong on that one. Each level has a puzzle piece to find which looks like an ancient rune tile, I always look for the puzzle piece before clicking on anything which starts the game, that way I don't forget about the puzzle piece or waste time searching for it. Some levels have ancient jugs that will give you 100 extra points when you click on them. You can replay any of the levels to try to get a better score or if you forgot the puzzle piece. After about 10 levels, you get to assemble a mosaic puzzle with the puzzle pieces you have collected for Wallpapers. There are several Achievements to earn for tasks such as collecting a resource after completing the level tasks, completing the level without using bonuses or finding 10 puzzle pieces. As you progress, different bonuses are made available that can be used each time the meter refills, such as more Resources, or Faster workers, but the effects are only temporary.

There are the usual tasks of building and upgrading farms, sawmills, goldmines, and even outposts that house workers that are far from home, clearing and repairing paths, and collecting food. Each task requires a certain amount of resources to complete and when you scan over a task, the requirements needed are shown as well as the resources you are lacking to complete the task. You can click on several tasks to have the workers complete, a checkmark will appear on the item for every available worker, and flags will queue the rest in numerical order until a worker is free. In Relaxed and Casual modes, the tasks available are circled in green, yellow indicates you will be able to complete the task once the resources collected are delivered to the base camp, red indicates the item is either blocked or you don't have enough available resources. Hercules is the go to guy for removing things no mere mortal could accomplish, and there's always an abundance of boulders and landslides.

This Collector's Edition has 9 Wallpapers, Achievements to earn, (which can be viewed on the level map) Collectible Puzzle Pieces, Puzzles to complete once all the pieces have been collected, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Episode with a whole new story and level, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

The god Ares has a chip on his shoulder regarding Hercules and has imprisoned children. Also .... beware the zombies!

Graphics are amazing. I was quite impressed with how sharp everything was. Music was very western (cowboy) and sound fx were right on! Narration (female voice) was not too slow or fast .... just perfect .... and done in poetry. LOVE IT!

3 levels of difficulty including relaxed (no time limit).

Grab food, knock out items blocking your path, rescue Megara, children and other characters, build mines, farms and other structures and collect, collect, collect.

In the CE version you can collect puzzle pieces which can be in the form of a rock with a letter on it or just a piece of the scenery (skull, snake in the grass - hah!, etc.) which then enables you to complete a jigsaw puzzle (which is very small and easy to do).

I love this game and enjoy the characters (including the sheep - lol) but I don't think it's CE-worthy. I have IV in the CE and it doesn't really add anything to the game play.

Great for beginners and experts alike ..... join me in rescuing those children!

ENJOY! Show less

This is a fun Time Management game of which I really love the entire series!! The extra "kids" part (of which you have to save the kids) is fun but when you play several levels their "laughing" voice can be annoying.

This is a fun Time Management game of which I really love the entire series!! The extra "kids" part (of which you have to save the kids) is fun but when you play several levels their "laughing" voice can be annoying. The storyline and fun factor (which I have rated) are all excellent or "top notch"! There are again puzzle pieces which you have to find to complete puzzles which adds to the fun factor. The levels do however get very challenging as you go further in the game. There are three levels of difficulty: Relaxed (you play without a timer), Casual (play normally) and Expert (which is more challenging). The thing is, if you play Relaxed, there's good and bad news: good news: you don't worry about a timer ticking down at your throat trying to complete the level, but the bad: no stars but you still are able to complete the levels.

If you're a fan of 12 Labours of Hercules and its series, you should definitely give it a try, then maybe buy it if you really like it. Show less

I have everyone of these games and love playing them, I love the bonus on these games also, trying to find all the hidden items are a little hard but still fun trying to find them. Each game is getting a little harder each time. Please keep making this game and Big Fish for getting them. Thank you.

I recommend this game!

Don't judge this game right off the bat. The first two or three levels I thought it made as little sense as anything I had played. But as I played it and it got past the tutorial stage it definitely came together. I only post once in a blue moon but I highly recommend this game.

I recommend this game!

I don't often play TM games but I must say I really enjoyed playing this one. I will be buying this game!

You never really know if a game is really something you will want....this is why I love the free trial time that is given to us so that we can see for ourselves if it's worth a purchase for our enjoyment or not.

Thank you Big Fish Games!

I recommend this game!
