12 Slaves of Hercules
Is a puzzly & ressource/time management game, with a long series of identical sequels.

Here our Hero, Hercules, will save his wife from the evil God Hades; by having his laborers do all the work so he can relax with a Herculade's Drink.
Collect ressources to remove obstacles and clear the path to the different goals by almost randomly rapid clicking around the map.

Thumbs Up
Seems to originaly be a mobile-game; however the conversion to pc is done well.

The narrative voice is crispy - makes your knees melt.

All the games in the series cost 2.99£ and often is on sale seperately.
Decent price - but work for it.

Very casual if you like these kinda games.

Thumbs Down
The gameplay is boring in the long run;
Even if every level has a different objective and chapter has a bonus level; it's basicly just spam clicking if you're going for gold time achievements. - It's really repeating.

Short.
Took 6 hours to beat the game with every Achievement - Hercules II took much longer and posed a challenge with the "Beat a Developer's time" challenge; Hercules III - Short again.

Little replay value since I grew bored with the gameplay - and the other games are much identical in gameplay and tasks.

Closing Comments
I liked this game in the beginning, however I found it quickly became boring.
It's great if you only play a few levels at a time.
The shortness and low replay value is reason enough to vote no. - However Hercules II, IV, V had me playing the double/triple amount of time it took to finish this one.

Decent game for casuals, but reconsider putting your money another place - like stopping slavery from self-proclaimed heroes, or saving the dinosaurs from extinction.
