Hermes: Tricks of Thanatos

This is a standard resource-gathering game from Alawar Entertainment. If you've played 'Viking Brothers' or 'Railway Couple' or any others, it's the usual mix of having your minions repairing roads and setting up buildings. 'Hermes' brings nothing new to the formula, however it knows it's a time-management puzzle game and so I'll give it a single thumbs up for working as intended. You can play it on casual mode without a clock, or you can play it against the clock; all achievements are story-based and none are missable so it's fine to play it once on casual if you're a cheevo-hunter. As with the later 'Maoi' games you get a little area to upgrade (here called 'Elysium') that gives your workers speed and production bonuses if you're playing against the clock. Get it on sale; it almost always is. (I picked it up on the Winter Sale.)

Love the fact that you can easily obtain the achievements by playing the game in relaxed mode - most if the games from this category force you to play with time limits and then you need to replay same levels until it becomes boring.

Foi muito divertido, vou jogar de novo em outro modo. Hermes ficava sentado lá enquanto os Minions faziam tudo e Apolo ganhava a fama. Toda a trama de mitologia também muito legal. Nem senti as horas passando.

another little gem of a game...this group of game developers never disappoint.

For the most part it's a typical "time management" game. It does have a bit of an upgrade system. And, you can replay levels to get under par times, and win more more stars. The gameplay is less clunkey than the Dracula games, also by Alawar. Though it still lacks the quality of life improvement of being able to queue up tasks that aren't yet available, such as is seen in the Hercules games. 100%ing the achievements was easy. It's a recommend from me.

super duper & fantastikush @!@#$ ;-) <3<3!!!. finally, another positive and high speed game * coffie is needed !
