12 Labours of Hercules VII: Fleecing the Fleece (Platinum Edition)

12 Labours of Hercules VII: Fleecing the Fleece is a casual resource/time management strategy game. At the start of each level, you have 1 or 2 workers who you direct to do various things ranging from collecting resources to constructing and upgrading buildings or gold mines. Hercules does the heavy work if there's a boulder in the way. Its as good as the first and overall it's a very enjoyable time management and if you're a fan of the genre you should pick it up.

12 Labours of Hercules VII: Fleecing the Fleece, developed by Jetdogs Studios and Zoom Out Games and published by Jetdogs Studios, continues the beloved time-management adventure series that combines mythological storytelling with fast-paced strategy. In this seventh installment, Hercules teams up with Jason in a lighthearted retelling of the myth surrounding the quest for the Golden Fleece.

As with earlier entries, the emphasis is not on epic storytelling but on maintaining rhythm and flow through clever resource management, multitasking, and quick decision-making, all delivered through vibrant, colorful visuals and upbeat energy that has become a hallmark of the series.

It’s similar to the previous games in the series. If you liked them like I did, you’ll probably like this one too. It’s a great casual game to play as a break between more serious gaming sessions. I will say this though: I think the later installments are a bit better, but that’s to be expected

If you put aside some of the achievements, you can enjoy this game for what it is: a somewhat interesting Time Management "builder" (collect resources, build farms, mines and workshops, etc.) that requires some strategy. Gone are the thieves from previous games, and the novelty is the multi-level obelisks that provide increased worker speed and/or yields. It has the same "flaws" in game progression as earlier installments: you get to see the end-of-chapter video before you play the bonus level of that chapter, you get the "beat 4 bonus levels i gold time" when you actually finish the 5th. Good value for the asking price (50 levels, plus 5 bonus levels, plus a super-bonus level), but not really different from its predecessors.
