60 of 147 · most liked first5 Hercules games and it never get boring. 56 Levels to beat the Expert Gold Time and the incredible developer points. The levels are again so unique, they dont look like any one before and there was many in first 4 games. Sure the games make no big revolution, but its still a good strategy and reaction test game. I cant await part 6. Only little critic point is only 23 Achievements, there could be much more STEPs Achievement (Getting 10,30,40,50 Levels Gold and enough other to get 37…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →12 Labours of Hercules V: Kids of Hellas is a cheap, entertaining casual game. If you have 5-10 minutes only you can always go for a level and finish it. Its not hard, not require special focus or following specific strategies, you will likely finish all levels easily just by playing it and having a common sense. In the game you need progress through levels. The road usually blocked by obstacles and their removal required. Removing these obstacles usually costs you food, wood or other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Need more cheese! A fun casual game like the previous ones. Sure it's simple and is a mobile game but it's fun. And it can get pretty tense on some levels, especially when you're trying to beat developers score record. You complete levels by gathering resources to complete a given task. Gathering wood, food and gold. Each material is used to upgrade your tent or other facilities to give you more resources. You also use resources to destroy obstacles. Pretty simple. Just click click and click…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great casual game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun and addicting as the others Hercules games. I'm a big fan of the series, glad to play another chapter of it! It's a nice catch if you're an achievment/perfect games hunter or just wanna spare some time. It also has a very kind and nice story, with nice illustrations, recommended for kids too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fifth entry in this time-management series. More of the same, as should be expected at this point. I will not be purchasing or playing any more of this type of game. Designed for (and probably easier to play on) a touchscreen, I can only recommend this if you really like this genre with a keyboard and mouse.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short version: 79% The fifth instalment of the 12 Labours of Hercules series feels more like an expansion pack rather than a new game, but it manages to deliver the fun time management gameplay this series is famous for. Long version: As all longer series, 12 Labours of Hercules has its ups and downs. Lucky for us, even the downs result in enjoyable time management games, including the current subject, Kids of Hellas. Similarly to Girl Power, this one didn’t touch the game mechanics too much:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Little Hercules Rating : 6/10 More of the same. If you liked the previous ones, you gonna like this. But now with kiddies and a happy Hercules that juggles balls. Sounds and gfx are the same as before so pretty ok, not mind blowing. Not bad, but not good also. Just med.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You would think that the Gods learned their lessons to let Hercules in peace. But Ares had to ask our hero to help him in a war. And as Hercules refused, the God of War decided to turn all the kids of Hellas into an army of zombies. Hercules, Megara and all their friends will have to save the children and to return them home... with the servants doing all the work as usual. It's already the fifth episode in Hercules's life. Nothing really changed in terms of gameplay. Allow me to paste a text…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here, we'll have to deal with Greek kids to free in each map! Nice task, Hercules! :P Apart from that, the game goes the exact same as the previous and following ones. Great artworks, same time/resources management pattern (collect food, gold and wood in order to build things and such), same objectives, same dozens of levels. Awesome if you like the series, and if you like point and click adventures. Suitable for kids of all ages, with lots of languages supported and colorful graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never been more bored with a game than with this one. WARNING: THIS IS A MOBILE PORT! Pros: -Looks good -Mouse controls work Cons: -There's no strategy, You mindlessly click on objects to win. -There is no way to lose. The "enemies" don't chase you, their just another object, When the time limit hits zero, It doesn't do anything but deduct your score. -Nonsensical plot, even for a simplistic game like this. Though it is so terrible that I started laughing. -Bad UI, You can tell this is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The amazing Casual returns I´ve played all the 12 Labours of Hercules games and i can say that while all of them are great, this one is my favourite entry so far. It basically has everything great about all the games in the series, meaning that the mechanics work perfectly, the levels are clever designed and diverse and the art is amazing making the levels fun to play and objects on the screen clearly stand out. Were the fifth installment really shines tho, is that the developer finally made…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Spoiled kids with confetti & and gifts" The 12 Labours of Hercules V: Kids of Hellas continues the story of newly on Steam introduced series of casual time-management flashgames. It has cute and colorful 2.5D graphics and a lovely entertaining soundtrack (one song really sounds like Greek). Placed in the ancient Greek mythology you accomplish many tasks in even 50 challenging levels, 5 bonus levels and 1 Superbonuslevel. You will buildup your own home castle of many pieces during the level…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have all the 12 Labours of Hercules games. They are among my favourite games and played many, many times. However, The Kids of Heelas is a total disapointment. Its just a constant round of gathering suplies by the hundreds with very little game play or stategy at all. Its worse than most farming games. I will stop playing before I finish and it will sit in the library gathering dust. Go play earlier games from this series. Those I reccommend. This one is one to avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's the first game that i played of this series of 12 labours, I liked it, at some levels there is just so much to click on great relaxing soundtrack to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD_fOgTmNJ4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strategy clicker. Nice casual game, can be finished in a couple of hours, but you can also make it challenging and replay it to get all the achievements. It's part of a series of pretty much the same games, the first 5 at least are very similar. Overall fun and enjoyable, well worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hercules Rules!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent continuation of a proven formula. Some little tweaks added, but mostly what you've come to expect from this series; some good, honest feeling casual challenge. For those who liked any of the former installments in the series, you can't go wrong with this. This is still top-dog amongst the so called time-management genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🎮A worthy time management game that grasps the role of a time killer with flying colors. I have played the other games in the chain, but I've always had a liking for this mechanic and the equivalent price-to-quality proportion. A nip of uncomplicated achievements and cards only amplify this game. If you have fancied all four foregoing installments, then go forwards and buy the fifth one. Yeah, I am aware, it’s the exact one and the same damn thing, BUT the game still draws you in, and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the other games in the series, you'll like this one; it's the same thing. I've played all five now. However, this one seemed to be more challenging than previous ones (even on normal difficulty, there were a few levels I had to play over again to get gold time in). There's a new mechanic added - saving brainwashed children who can then get you presents for more bonus energy. I don't like the new sound added that tells you when you hit the max resources allowed for the level, it's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lives up to the standard set by the other games. Excellent addition to the series. More of the same, and that's a good thing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well... same old, same old. Another Time Management game of the 12 Labours of Hercules series. The graphics are decent and so is the music. The story is nothing special. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on Win 7. Overall, entertaining and relaxed. This particular chapter in the saga is easier to complete, except for the defeating of the developer's time achievement, which is unfair and contrary to the spirit of an otherwise casual game. Jet Dogs should use the janitor's best time instead or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best time pass game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →even though i only played a hour im very familar with this genre Games like road to rome and my kingdom for a princess helped popularize this types of games. im not familiar with this series though, but im glad i found it today. a lot more fast paced, challening and polished than the other types of similar games i played! + Very polished art + nice music + able to plan ahead actions ( set a que for things to be done after you do a action ) + various chars can do various tasks, ads some depth…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heck yeah I would recommend this game. I tried to get all achievements but 10 times beating the Dev's score..lol..how? He is THEE reincarnate of Hercules! I do like a challenge though lol. Anyways, I would give this game 10/10. <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First game from the Labours of Hercules series that bored me to tears. While it's identical to all the other games, many of the maps are poorly designed and only offer a single resource like wood or gold in one location but require 10+ stacks multiple times in a row to proceed. You'll find yourself sitting there with nothing to do except wait for one resource to spawn repeatedly. Skip this title and move onto the next one.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game for only 40p and boy was I impressed. For a classic path-based time management game, it worked wonders. The game itself sticks to a set storyline throghout, with themes in every level and cutscenes to match. The whole dynamic suits the story, and the theme of the game - with each level providing a structured and stratified way about playing while still sticking to the key themes. The game itself flows really nicely, with progressions of difficilty and a simple GUI to not…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fifth game in the series has not lost its original charm. This is casual strategy gaming at its best. The recipe continues though this time with an upgraded difficulty. While it will not be difficult to get gold on all levels, you may have to replay a level once or twice to ensure the correct strategy is being used to win. Achievements are easily unlocked, though the beat the dev achievement took much longer this turn than previous iterations of the game. Still lots of fun and I hear…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wish Steam would add more than just the thumbs up and thumbs down. How about a 'up yours' rating, 'you can kiss my' rating and a 'meh shrugged shoulders' rating. This game falls more to the meh side of things. While I have followed the previous four instalments of the 12 labours of Hercules, I'm now left with disillusionment where they are going with all this. This fifth game adds nothing new whatsoever and just feels like a stepdown dlc in comparison to the fourth masterpiece. For one…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story continues. More maps, same music, same quests. And children. More difficult than the others.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very good game and not fast. Very funny game. You can do the achievements. But you have to play with it for a long time to do all. And you can get trading cards. I like this game because when I was child I always play a few games like this.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kids of Hellas : the fifth game of the Hercules series. The concept still works : a real-time casual game with resource management made of several levels with specific goals (collect x gold, save x kids and open x gifs, kill the minotaurs, etc.). Let your servants gather wood, food and gold, build some constructions such as farms and mines and help them remove obstacles thanks to Hercules, Megara, Cerberus or even Medusa. Fortunately the portal system is back, there are hidden objects to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →12 Labours of Hercules V: Kids of Hellas is the fifth in the 12 Labours resource/time management strategy game series by Jetdogs. Hercules, along with Megara, must rescue the kids and take them home. Its basically the same as the previous games in the series, except they added an inventory limit with a little annoying ring when you have too much. Some of the levels are just ridiculously easy, other levels almost impossible to get all 3 stars, but I did. This is my least favorite of the series.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a mobile game copy-pasted over to Steam. The gameplay consists of the very basic, boring simple gameplay that you would expect from a simple mobile game that you play to pass some time when you're bored for a few mintes, that's what this game is intended for after all while harvesting information from your phone and displaying ads. Why is it 'Platinum Edition'? I don't know. The gameplay might be fine on mobile, where this game happens to be free as well, which is fine. Copy/pasting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like the previous opus ? You'll like that one too, especially the fact they leave in an OVNI at the end of the story. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2608532875
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If a worker gets stuck because of the switches that manipulate bridges and you beat the level, the worker can't actually leave the level so the level never ends. Softlocks the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game series has gotten worse with every iteration. You can finish the game, get the achievements but are never left satisfied because of crappy game mechanics. First, the GOOD: The graphics are nice but nothing new. Apart from the infrequent, but otherwise consistent, bugs the game runs smoothly. I mentioned a bug for a previous game and the developer actually responded. The game has a good length and a nice variety. THE BAD, which I'm going to present as questions: Why have *multiple*…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The following review applies to all games from the "12 Labours of Hercules" series. Even though they have different themes, they all have the same gameplay style and overall quality. The "12 Labours of Hercules" series has extremely captivating resource-management games, with beautiful and enjoyable graphics, sound effects and soundtrack. Even though they are casual games, they offer some challenge if played in difficult mode. The achievements are relatively easy to get - by the time you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a Time based Management game with the story about Hercules. Where Hercules needs to save the children from being used as child soldiers by Ares, save the children, stop Ares. I can highly recommend this game for some nice casual puzzling and relaxing. Nice to play for a quick game but easily to get sucked into playing more! Each Chapter has 10missions and each Chapter starts with a Voiced cinematic intro. Every mission will have 1puzzle piece to find. With all pieces found in a chapter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got Episodes 1 through 5 when on sale. Played the first one, completed it fully. Played the second one. Got bored halfway through but still recommended it on steam because it was a bit different. Tried the third. Nop. Same gameplay, same thing again and again. Just get the trading cards and uninstalling. All of these should not be separate games. It should all be one game with the price of each game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll keep it short. It's a nice, simple and relaxing point and click game. I recommend purchasing this game ... but it won't be a game I'll be interested in completing or play casually in my game rotation.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This series is probably one of the best series i have actually enjoyed. Played the first one to this one and its amazing. While keeping some of the basics, from the prev games this one adds a couple of new things.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice casual game. exactly the same as the previous installments (just different levels). full game ain't more then 10 hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just as much fun as the previous games in this series. Cute graphics and coloring with adjust able difficulty to suit players of all skill levels and great for kids.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →12 Labours of Hercules V: Kids of Hellas continues the popular time management series by Jetdogs Studios and Zoom Out Games, and this installment leans heavily into Greek mythology with a playful and lighthearted spin. The story begins with Ares, the god of war, who becomes enraged when Hercules refuses to aid him in conquering the world. To achieve his goal, Ares devises a sinister plan, creating enchanted toys that corrupt the children of Hellas and turn them into obedient soldiers. Hercules,…

I must point out that the gameplay balance, compared to the previous games, also improved. This time, Hercules has to rescue the children who have been brainwashed by Ares. We get a few new mechanics, new allies, and new enemies. Parando o Ares Mais um jogo feito para quem conhece 12 Labours of Hercules. Devo salientar que o equilíbrio da jogabilidade, em comparação com os jogos anteriores,…
