❤ Gameplay Overview

The game tasks you with guiding Hercules and his workers through a series of 40 levels to rescue Hercules' kidnapped wife Megara from Hades. The core gameplay loop involves efficiently managing limited resources like food, wood, and gold to clear obstacles, build structures, and progress to the objective.

❤ Resource Management

You must direct your workers to gather food, wood, and gold from various sources around the map. These resources then enable you to clear debris blocking the path, construct farms and mines to generate more resources, and activate the help of mythological allies like Medusa and Pegasus. Balancing the collection and allocation of these finite resources is crucial to completing levels within the time limit.

❤ Path Clearing

Your primary objective in each level is to clear a path from the starting point to the end goal, which is often obstructed by bridges to repair, holes to fill, and other blockages your workers must remove. The placement and order of these actions is important, as workers can only perform one task at a time and resources may be limited.

❤ Strategic Planning

While the gameplay is straightforward, it rewards strategic planning. You must carefully consider the most efficient order to tackle objectives, which pathways to prioritize, and when to use the limited special abilities and bonuses available. Levels can often be completed in multiple ways, encouraging you to experiment and optimize your approach.

❤ Difficulty Modes

The game offers three difficulty modes - Relaxed, Casual, and Expert. Relaxed removes the time pressure, Casual applies a generous timer, and Expert ramps up the challenge with a stricter time limit, requiring you to carefully optimize your resource management and path planning to earn gold medals.

❤ Mythological Allies

Throughout the game, you gain the ability to call upon various mythological allies to assist you, including Hercules himself, Medusa, Pegasus, and the Cyclops, each with unique abilities. Incorporating these allies into your resource management and path clearing strategies adds an extra layer of depth.

❤ Mini-Games

Every 10 levels, you must complete a special mini-game sequence featuring Hercules directly engaging in mythological tasks, such as fighting beasts or gathering ingredients for a potion. These mini-games provide a fun and challenging break from the core resource management gameplay.
