12 Labours of Hercules XV: Little Big Adventure

[i]12 Labours of Hercules XV: Little Big Adventure[/i] is a time management game developed by Zoom Out Games and Jetdogs Studios and published by Jetdogs Studios. It's the 15th and latest installment in the [i]12 Labours of Hercules[/i] series. As usual, you take on the role of Hercules, and after a brief trip in the sky, Hercules ends up unconscious on an island full of tiny people, the Lilliputians. Yup, you might have guessed it, but this latest installment puts a spin on the story of [i]Gulliver's Travels[/i], except that Hercules is Gulliver. XD Upon waking up, Hercules learns from the Lilliputians that a floating island threatens their country, so Hercules offers his help. It's then that his wife, Megara, and his trusty workers come to the rescue and help. That's the basic story premise, so I'll end my synopsis here to avoid spoilers and all that. ^^ As for the gameplay, this latest time management game plays very similar to the previous installments. You can choose from among three difficulty levels: relaxed, casual, or expert. (For review purposes, I chose to play on expert level since it's needed to obtain all Steam achievements.) There are a total of 50 story l…

Developed by Zoom Out Games and Jetdogs Studios and published by Jetdogs Studios, 12 Labours of Hercules XV: Little Big Adventure delivers another entertaining chapter in the long-running time management franchise while introducing a playful crossover of mythology and classic fantasy. This installment follows Hercules after he is caught in a powerful storm and washes ashore in the land of the tiny Lilliputians. Mistaken for a dangerous giant, he soon discovers that the real threat comes from the floating island of Laput, whose presence has plunged the land into darkness by blocking sunlight and rain. The unusual setting gives the story a refreshing identity, blending familiar Greek mythology with imaginative fantasy concepts that create a charming backdrop for Hercules' latest journey. The gameplay stays true to the formula that has made the series popular. Players guide Hercules and his companions through a wide variety of levels by gathering resources, clearing roads, repairing buildings, removing obstacles, and completing objectives as efficiently as possible. Each stage presents a puzzle of priorities, encouraging careful planning instead of rushed decision-making. Workers mus…

The 15th of the 12 Labours. Very imaginatively configured resource management game, which started off true to the ancient Greek era, then morphed into more fantasy-land type of scenes, all the while having to build resources structures, blow up obstacles, fight some monsters and clear some winding paths. You can play relaxed, casual or hard modes--hard mode is very difficult but can be done, along with breaking the Developer's record. Music can be on or off and you can speed up the game by 150% in the general settings. With this one, I'm a little baffled cuz I was expecting Lilliput-types of themes in the levels but except for a giant Herc at the beginning, I haven't really seen much of it. Ah well, still have a bunch of levels (out of 50) to go. plus the six bonus levels. Cheers!

I like the saga, good fun if you like the genre - nice casual game

Love these Jetdogs games!
