12 Labours of Hercules II: The Cretan Bull - A Strategy Hero Quest Game

At first glance this game may seem to be childish and while it could be played to some degree by a younger set and it certainly is family appropriate, this game is wildly addictive and I'm an experienced gamer and have been playing games since DOS. From the gameplay structure to graphics and sound, this little gem holds it own... Oh, did I mention the soundtrack used? It's phenomenal and so appropriate to gameplay. One of my irks is that in some gaming the developers do not give a well rounded production, often falling short in the entire framework without well rounded sound production. Many games may have good graphics and sound, yet many, many games offered of late fall way short in music appropriate to gameplay; not so with this little gem, it's wonderful in every respect and I found myself taking off my earplugs just so as to share it with family as they went about there way around the house as I played....it was very motivating and even uplifting, yet varied as well. Don't hesitate buying.... you, no doubt, as I have, will play this game over and over to better scores, etc all the while hoping there will be a sequel offered for devices SOON, lol! Get it! 😊

This is one of the best time management games around and, trust me, I speak from experience! I love TM games, but only if they make me really think and plan. This game makes it tough to get 3 stars on a level but it IS achievable - just the way I like it! Hope the developers send more of these games our way!

Very few levels have the "H" stone on them which makes it impossible to put the jigsaw puzzles together or play the bonus levels. Not fair. You have to get all 10 H stones ....... I have all the other Hercules games series and none of them have this problem. I've found all of the H stones on other versions of Hercules. Maybe those of you who like it so much don't realize there are H stones and bonus levels? I like it, just not fair that I can't play the entire game because the game developer, oops, forgot to put them on the playing area for most levels. Developer you need to fix this. I have an iPad 2 Air, IOS 10.3.2. Fix these problems and I would gladly give this game a 5 star rating.

The game is fun, but I found that the puzzle piece in each level was usually impossible to find unless by accident, which led me to keep replaying levels just to try and find the puzzle piece. After several unsuccessful attempts to find the puzzle piece in level 3.1, this finally annoyed me enough that I decided to quit playing the game. Also bad is that the level doesn’t indicate whether or not you’ve already found the puzzle piece, so if you found it by accident without realizing it, you might waste time looking for the puzzle piece that you already found.

A solid new entry in the genre. The puzzle pieces are a bit tricky to find, but not terrible. I like any game where you can pay Inc and play forever. No freemium here!
