Well it's an old fave as far as gather resource games go. I did find the level of challenge was ramped up quite quickly in this one, but that's just how I like it.

Well it's an old fave as far as gather resource games go. I did find the level of challenge was ramped up quite quickly in this one, but that's just how I like it. There are underground vaults to visit, buildings to upgrade, heroes to free so they can help and plenty of the action we are used to. You can play in relaxed, timed and expert, but the good thing is you can toggle between them without losing game progress.
The new feature, (and it seems the only one) is Emma the painter who can paint a needed resource if she can be freed to reach her canvas. It did seem that fairly quickly that became the task, just reaching it rather than the painting she did. There are the usual puzzle pieces (general vicinity marked with a flag) but you will have to remove pieces of the interactive scenery (sheep, bushes etc) to find them most times. (this is a cute feature). You can just go back and get them and leave then and they will show on the map if you miss one.
Your choices are good in the options, disable screen shaking, use system cursor and not to show tutorial. (this is a good choice as it is just blue arrows and you can turn it back at anytime on the screen you are playing, and another click will stop them).
I was also a bit disconcerted that it knew who I was without asking me to put in my profile name although I have no other downloads still on my hard drive. Hmmm. But all in all it is a great game with the now familiar speed and resource buttons scattered about and a need to apply strategy for sure. I dont think the game offers much extra as a CE..just wallpapers, and just arrows as the strategy guide, but I just never can wait to get hold of a quality TM. Enjoy! Show less

My favorite game of Hercules series is the 8th, i.e. “How I Met Megara” with young Herc, lots of cats, humor, mummies and beautiful love story. But this new game probably will be my top-2, or even top-1 (I didn’t finish 2 last chapters yet)! Emma is cute, and her super power to paint reality is superb!

My favorite game of Hercules series is the 8th, i.e. “How I Met Megara” with young Herc, lots of cats, humor, mummies and beautiful love story. But this new game probably will be my top-2, or even top-1 (I didn’t finish 2 last chapters yet)! Emma is cute, and her super power to paint reality is superb! I also like this new music melody differing from previous games as well as puzzle pieces under other objects (this time not only under bushes, but also under sheep and goats we have to launch to space).
The gameplay is well-known to all the fans of this series. We clear the roads, build the buildings, chop the trees and wooden columns, collect resources and different bonus pills (as in the previous game). Hercules moves the boulders and other heavy objects, Megara grows the bushes, and the Worker makes everything else. New features are two new characters: Emma drawing everything we need to move further, and Achilles beating the guard dolls. Achilles is pretty funny, and Emma is cute. I like them.
We can play Relaxed, Casual or Expert mode, earn achievements and beat the records as well as unlock the bonus levels (after collecting puzzle pieces and completing the jigsaw) and build the paper castle. The levels are various, colorful and unique. Lots of them involve great deal of strategy thinking to beat developer’s score.
Collector’s Edition includes wallpapers, guide (blue arrows which you can turn on or turn off whenever you need), and extra chapter about Hercules’ adventures to enjoy this game longer! Show less

Disclosure, I don't care too much for any of the stories and I play with the sound off. This game is one of the funniest I've played in a while. I play "expert" level and won't move to a new level until I've gotten three stars. So, the fun for me is in the challenge. If a level takes me 4 days to complete, so be it. The tougher the game (as long as it is not just clicking a thousand times) the more fun it is for me. If you love a good, challenging, puzzle like Time Management Game, this is a great game to play. It took me about a month to finish it. Someone else mentioned there weren't bonus levels. There are 2 bonus levels on each of the islands, you have to complete the puzzle to unluck them. Show less

My pleasure, when playing this series, is to beat the developper records. (So I played in expert mode)
I beat all of the records, but I really had to use my brain and to replay some of the levels many times to beat the record. It is exactly what I was looking for so I was very happy with this game. For me, it is one of the best of the Hercule's series.
The graphics are very good, and it was funny to search the collectibles.
Just one thing : I agree with some of the other reviews : the strategy guide is useless and frustrating. I don't need it, but if I were a beginner, I would have been very disappointed. Show less

Much like the last version in graphics and feature and music. The only thing different is there are no easter eggs in the bonus games per level. You just have the hidden puzzle pieces for the picture in each island section to assemble. The pieces can be hidden under bushes or other things.

You can play in untimed casual for all levels including bonus levels. However you won't get to assemble the picture paper castle unless you in timed mode. I completed each timed level and some were nail bitters. The guide is now in an interactive mode where you have to follow the arrows on where to go next. This can be cumbersome as it sometimes is hard to follow the arrowed steps. I just got a hint and ad-libbed on some hard levels. It can get confusing on some levels. Show less

The first strange thing was this game knew whom I was and started at level 1.4 yet I have never played this game before .No problem as you can replay the levels which I wanted to do .
Never had something like that happen before. Well I suppose it is Halloween soon.
What I do not like about these games is the poor strategy guide which once again is the dreaded blue arrows. How I would love a proper strategy guide.
I like the new paint feature but that seems to be the only new thing .
I do enjoy these games but yet again not sure what extras you get for a CE until you complete the game.
I will wait for the SE to come out as this for me seems very alike the previous games and I am not inclined to pay extra when I do not know what extra I am getting.
Having said that try the demo and see what you think but for me I can wait. Show less

Overall, a good game with lots of replay potential.
Comments:
To get three stars, some levels will require careful thought. This is especially true for levels with "1/2 boosts" that let you get things done (for a limited time) at 1/2 the cost.
Unlike the last game in this series, I managed to get three stars on most levels--sometimes on the first try, sometimes on the third. I hope I ...Show more
Overall, a good game with lots of replay potential.
Comments:
To get three stars, some levels will require careful thought. This is especially true for levels with "1/2 boosts" that let you get things done (for a limited time) at 1/2 the cost.
Unlike the last game in this series, I managed to get three stars on most levels--sometimes on the first try, sometimes on the third. I hope I can get three stars on the rest. Previous games have been far too difficult for me. (There are so many levels in each group of levels. You need to get three stars on all levels in a group to access the bonus level in that group.)
Pro's:
I love the weird graphics and all the resources (bushes for food, factories to produce food, wood, gold).
I like trips down to the underground to perform tasks.
I like the various 'pills' that so many reviewer don't like. Their comments make no sense to me. Power boosts, extra resource boosts, time freeze, etc. are in just about every game.
This game has some interactive items between the game paths. If you click on bushes, the disappear. If you click on certain items, they shoot up. This comes with sound effects like explosions. Animals tend to leave three little dots behind (use your imagination) that can be clicked and they also disappear with a popping noise. On other levels, you can click on flowers and trash. I think it is funny.
(If you want to find the puzzle pieces, you will have to click-to-remove bushes, etc.)
Cons:
I have no real idea why Achilles is in here. You need him to kill off the guards on a few levels. He isn't really a problem but his character doesn't add anything to the game, IMHO.
Same with the girl. On some levels, you need to clear a path for her to get to her easel, so she can draw some needed item. Ok, but doesn't add much, IMHO.
Like other reviewers, it bothers me when there are two or three power boosts (pills) in a row blocking a path. You have no choice but to take the boost, even if you don't need it. Show less
I recommend this game!
