12 Labours of Hercules

About the Game

12 Labours of Hercules is a casual strategy and time-management game based on the legendary hero Hercules. Developed by Jetdogs Studios and Zoom Out Games, it was released on March 23, 2015, initially for Windows and later on additional platforms.

The story begins when Hercules' wife, Megara, is kidnapped by Hades. Hercules sets out on a journey through a world inspired by ancient Greece to find and rescue her. Along the way, he encounters familiar heroes and mythological creatures while overcoming obstacles placed throughout his path. Gameplay focuses on time and resource management. Players must complete a series of levels by gathering resources, clearing paths, repairing structures, and constructing or upgrading various buildings. Each action takes time, requiring workers to be assigned efficiently in order to complete the objectives of each level. As the adventure progresses, new obstacles and challenges are introduced, while various elements of Greek mythology appear throughout the game. In addition to resource management, the game features puzzles, bonus levels, and mini-games, providing additional variety between the main levels. The game uses a colorful cartoon art style, presenting its characters and mythological elements in a light-hearted and accessible way. Hercules serves as the central character, while the adventure freely incorporates elements from the traditional myths surrounding his legendary labours. 12 Labours of Hercules therefore offers a different interpretation of Greek mythology, using the story of Hercules as the foundation for a time-management and resource-management strategy game rather than an action or role-playing experience.
