12 Labours of Hercules is a cute and colorful little puzzle game in which the objective is to save your beautiful wife from the evil God Hades. To achieve this, you must solve puzzles, repair roads and tools and vanquish foul beasts (mostly done after completing a certain puzzle that triggers some kind of trap).

It is a short and easy game, but for what it is, it’s a lot of fun. You need to divide your attention to multiple tasks, and resources that you need to complete the next task. Although not that difficult, there were still times that I scratched my chin when I was thinking.

All the levels feel alive with so much stuff and colors everywhere. It gives the game its charm. It just feels nice to play it. They add variation with different themes like caverns, volcano’s, mountains and plains.

The soundtrack that plays in the background is jolly and fits the style of game very well. It is just great to listen to while you are thinking about your next move.

Although this is a timed game, you never feel the stress or anxiety that you will not make it. When you fail a level in time, you raise your shoulders, think about what you did wrong or spent too much time on, and try again.

There is not much more to say about this fun little gem other than the fact that I surely would recommend it.
