How it feels

Play feels like a brisk, strategic dash through mythic Greece where you quickly manage resources and rescue people on a linear path.

What players say

Players describe this as a straightforward time management game in the style of 12 Labours of Hercules, and find it the easiest in the genre for achievements, no star ratings needed, just story progression. Some report a bug where citizens become invisible on the map, and others note the 50 levels can feel repetitive.
