Was on the fence about this game until I got to level 10. That definitely made my mind up for me. Impossible to play. There is a warrior up on the hill and the second and I do mean the second you send your helper to collect a supply he freezes her with sticks around her. You cannot play the level because you are either unfreezing your player or sending Megara to inactivate him so he cannot freeze your helper. Once unfrozen she does not continue on with her task, you have to mark it again and then in split level timing jump up to the hill and inactivate him by clicking on him. You have absolutely zero time to plan a strategy or even see what needs to be done next. This was done in the Robin Hood Time Mgt game but done so much better. There was a decent length of time for him to catch his bearings again while you collected supplies and after so many konks on the head he became helpless. I also want to mention that you will need 20/20 vision to play this game because the supplies needed to complete a task in the bubble are so small you cannot distinguish what the heck they are. Basically you are playing blind and looking for the green circle to let you know you have enough supplies to remove/build the required tasks. I have deleted this game from my Manager and I highly DO NOT recommend this game. Ridiculous, I have no idea what the developers were thinking, I have to believe they weren’t! Strange because I believe from the looks of this game it is the same developers from the Hercules Series, one of my all time favorites, I have every game from that series.
I don't recommend this game.
Help Hercules catch the fastest creature in the land and put a stop to its wave of destruction in his latest strategy adventure!

I gave up on level 4.6. I found this game to be confusing and very hard to make a strategic plan because everything cost so much. You spend all your time trying to accumulate supplies to get where you need to be to start reaching the set goals. This was not a fun game and that is why I play these games FOR FUN not to get frustrated and hacked off! Last purchase for me on the Hercules Series and that includes the one with his daughter. I demoed that one and again what the heck. Just repetitious on every level. At least it was not full of pills and huge 50 gold crystals.
I don't recommend this game.

There are too many games out there to play this one which gives you no direction. You are constantly trying to figure out what you need to do. EX: Why doesn't the Smithy work for me I have the correct number of resources to buy the item? Oh, I am sorry I need to make a potion first. And just how in the world would I know this! So while you are trying to figure out what the heck you are suppose to be doing your stars are ticking away. So sorry I bought this game. What a waste of my money. Deleted game from my Game Manager.

Very disappointing! I was looking for a game to bring me up to get a free game and tried this one as I love TM Games. What is the point in having you do the same thing over and over again. Cut the vines, fill the hole - oh yikes, the vines have grown back, cut the vines, go collect silver, yikes THE VINES HAVE GROWN BACK AGAIN. Then the next level everything is on fire and as quick as you put them out they spread right back. Not enough building plots to gather silver so all you do is put out fires and try to get to the hut so you can gather silver but the fire you just put out has spread again. Sorry, I just don’t get the point! I do not recommend and a no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I agree with the other reviewers. I really enjoyed this game too. I liked that there were different games to play if you got tired of playing one type you could switch over to a jigsaw puzzle or a matching or even a type of match 3. I bought it and I recommend it; as always though try the free demo to make sure it is for you.
I recommend this game!

Let me start with I would have never downloaded the game if I had known it was a limited move game. I prefer the timed modes where you are allowed to set up your moves and get your power ups on the board. To me there is no challenge if you are not trying to beat the clock.There is a relaxed mode where there is no limit to your moves, boring. Also one my pet peeves in a Match 3 - you cannot make matches while tiles are falling. You have wait for the board to come to rest. I will say the way the levels change is pretty cool. The Sarcophagus move around a circle and the chains break off for the next level. I was also confused at first as to how to get back to the game after you bought a power up. At first I was having to go back to the menu then to the level. I finally realized the pyramids on the city board were numbered and all you had to do was click on the pyramid and it took you back to the game. All in all the visuals were great but I found the game lacking since there was no timed mode. If you like limited move games I believe this game will be a buy for you, sadly a no buy for me. As always try the demo and decide for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

This is like the Gnome Garden Games. I like the Gnome Garden Games and I always play on Casual level. I play the level until I get three stars. That is the fun of the game to me, to figure out how to navigate the board and finish with three stars. This game does not give you that option. There is a choice of very difficult or no timer. There is no in between. Like Gnome Gardens this is basically a flat map you play on. I wish this game and the other Gnome Gardens had a better landscape to play on. Come on developers use a little creativity. If you decide to buy I suggest you wait for the SE version as I see nothing here to justify the price of a Collectors Edition. There is not even a Strategy Guide. There are 20 Achievement Trophies to earn but I am guessing those will be available in the SE version. Therefore for me this is a no buy but try the demo and decide for your self.
I don't recommend this game.

I really like this game and it is a buy for me. Someone said it is like the Hercules series and I see a few similarities but not the same to me. It is a slower moving game. It is a Build and Gather TM (build/repair sawmills, farms, quarries, etc.) and I like those. There is a Bard’s House that you build and whenever you send a worker there workers are sped up for a time. There is a relax mode for those who do not like the timer but there are a lot of resources available so even in the timed mode I find I had plenty of time to finish the tasks and get 3 stars. This may become more challenging as I get further in the game but for now not a problem. I thought the graphics were good and believe the developers hit a home run but in the sequel I would like to suggest it be a little more challenging, maybe add a third mode for more experienced players? I recommend this game if you like TM Games and are looking for a relaxing fun game play.
I recommend this game!

Wow, I have all the Imperial Island Games and was excited when I saw this offered today. I thought ”Oh yea, a Buy for Me”! I am so glad I played the demo as I was so wrong. This game is entirely different from the other Imperial Island Games. I guess the developers have never heard the saying “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. To start with limited moves. I do not like and do buy limited move games. But that is just the beginning as this game is now like all the other Match 3 games that have been showing up lately. Pick a bonus, limited moves, cartoonish and just plain uninteresting. In fact at times the game plays itself. It doesn’t even need you. So sad as this was a great game now just a clone of all others. An absolute “No Buy for Me”.
I don't recommend this game.

I did not like this game. First off every time I tried to change colors it would not move to another color. I had to put my cursor on the color and click, click, click until it would change. Second I could not get the sides of the picture to enlarge. When I enlarged the picture so I could read the number it only got larger in the middle it would not let me navigate to the sides. I never did figure out how to color and entire area with a double click?? That just did not happen when I doubled clicked. Maybe if they brought the forums back like they were before I could grab some hints. I will never understand why BF took that away. I loved that feature. Too much work for them I assume since someone has to monitor it! Lord forbid they had to actually do some work for all the money we spend on their games!
