I love these games and as far as i know I own them all. I also replay them. They are, to me, that good.
I always play the demo first because you never know but the demo convinced me to buy. There are three modes of play - Relaxed (untimed) Mode, Normal, or Expert Mode. There is always a lot to do and you need a strategy especially when deciding what buildings to upgrade that will do the most good. In this one there is a volcano that is causing, as usual, havoc. There are bonuses that you can execute at the bottom of the screen such as +5 food, speed up factory and they refill over time.There are the usual supplies you must pick up to clear the road. I played 10 levels on Normal and only had to repeat one to achieve 3 stars. I did not find the timer to be that tough but I am sure the further you get in the game the harder it will be to get 3 stars. To me each level is different and it is hard to stop playing. As far as I could see the difference in the CE and the SE is in the SE there are no owls to collect, no strategy guide (which I very seldom use anyway) and you do not receive the extra 15 levels. I do not think you will be disappointed in purchasing this game whether you buy the CE or the SE both I found to fun. I bought the CE as I wanted the extra 15 levels.. Enjoy!

I love these games. As far as I know there are 3 of these games before this one and I own them all. I also replay them. In fact I had started replaying one of them last night They are, to me, that good.
1-Rescue Mission
2-War of the Gods
3-Sibyls' Prophecy
I always play the demo first because you never know but the demo convinced me to buy. There are three modes of play - Relaxed (untimed) Mode, Novice, or Expert Mode. Novice is a normal mode of play. There is always a lot to do and you need a strategy especially when deciding what buildings to upgrade, sometimes all of them but in what order will do you the most good. This one has a new twist as we are trying to round up lost souls that have escaped from Hades by Charon’s boat but where is the boat? We must find it to keep any more souls from coming over. Meanwhile the souls that crossed are causing, as usual, havoc. There are bonuses that you can pick up along the way, run faster and work harder. They refill over time.There are also barrels which hold extra supplies if you can find them and click on them. To me each level is different and it is hard to stop playing. I do not think you will be disappointed in purchasing this game. I bought it as soon as I finished the demo.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a game so much. Seems to me any more they are pretty much the same but I knew after the first 3 to 4 levels that I was going to buy this game. I usually do not buy Collectors Editions as I believe they are a waste of money but I cannot wait for the SE on this one, plus it is 60% off. As always test the demo to be sure it is your cup of tea but it was definitely mine. Gotta go, I am off to buy the game.
I recommend this game!

I so look forward to another Hercules Game but alas disappointed once again. Nice to know the developers read the reviews and try to make the next game better rather than just do the same thing over, over and over. NOT! Myself and I don’t know how many others have voiced our opinion about the ridiculous huge pills but obviously the developers could care less how we feel. Why they might have to actually work on making more obstacles that fit the story line! Once again, not a fan of the pills and certainly don’t get the reasoning behind having three in a row (all the same) that you have to click on to move forward in the level rather than clicking on them when you need them. Now the useless strategy guide. If you buy the CE for the strategy guide you can pass on this CE and wait for the SE. Again laziness on the developer’s part. Rather than give us the scene shots so you can read it and work out a strategy you want with the guide as a helper they, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that you need to play the game their way and instead use annoying blue arrows pointing to what you should do next. So no overview of the whole level, just step by step hand holding with a few arrows at a time. Since they have no regard for the players preferences I shall reward them with two stars. Even that is stretching it. I do like the old games and bought them all but going forward I will pass until they remove the pills and go back to a decent strategy guide. I do not recommend this game!
I don't recommend this game.
Follow Iselin on an adventure like no other, explore a magical land to stop the witch Aradia, find hidden objects, and solve challenging puzzles.

By the time I got to the swamp I was done. I picked up the cork screw, went back to the inn, uncorked the bottle with the tap in it and the tap disappeared along with the corkscrew. No tap, no drink for the guy with the screw in his foot so you cannot move forward. I even went back changed profiles and tried again and same thing. Corkscrew takes cork out the tap disappears and does not go into your inventory. I went to the keg it is not there either. Go back to bottle and, cork is back in bottle and corkscrew is gone out of your inventory and is not back in the swamp. You are done as you cannot move forward because there is nothing else to do at this point!
I don't recommend this game.

I did not like anything about this game. I bought the last one and did not finish playing it. It actually seems like a chore to try and play these any more. For me...just give us our players. I don't wan to pick and choose characters. Next try and figure out where the resources are going to come from and worse of all the icons are so small half the time I cannot even see what I need to buy or upgrade abuilding. All the while trying to shoot arrows at the Sheriff. All in all not a fun game to me. I love TM games and mostly buy only the TM Games. I don't mind if it is difficult and I have to play a level several times but in this game I just find the whole thing tedious.
I don't recommend this game.
Enjoy classic match-3 gameplay set on the banks of the mighty Euphrates River. Can you restore an ancient temple!

I really liked this game a lot. It reminded me of some of the older Match 3 games before they all became cartoon characters and limited moves games. It was challenging and fun. One star off as I like to choose the upgrades to The Temple rather than have them give you 3 at a time and some of those were cheesy such as the palm trees or the Lion Statues which you could not even make out. Other than that I loved the game and played all the way through on timed. I did run out of time on a few of the levels and had to replay them so you can't dilly dally around you have to get those boards cleared!! :) .
I recommend this game!

Tomorrow's Game Today?? I don't think so. I only made it through 3 levels but this is like a game from 1970. Certainly not any thing as sophisticated as today's games. Very little challenge if any, just picking wheat and sending it to the mill then selling it to a trading post. It might get better but I could not play another level. Way too many games out there that far surpass this one. What a way to start the New Year Big Fish. I was really hoping for something special on New Year's Day instead I got a big fat disappointment.
I don't recommend this game.

Really this game is ridiculous. How the heck are you supposed to make any matches when everything looks the same and there are bubbles floating in your way! The faster you pop the bubbles more and more appear. Then there are the no color levels full of Christmas Ornaments, not sure how you are supposed to match those other than by luck and speed. So glad I bought on sale for $2.99 deal. But still a waste of my $2.99. I will never buy another one of these shopping Clutter Games! I own a couple of them and they were playable. In my opinion this one is not!!
I don't recommend this game.
