Like other reviewers, I am stuck at Level 27 because there is not enough ore to complete the tasks. It looks like there is a minor glitch where you are supposed to break the chains on a rock, but the first time it doesn't work, so you have to use up two axes to break the chain. But there is another task that requires an axe and you can't get it. Otherwise, the game is light-hearted and relatively mindless. You need to do some thinking to get through each level in time, and I like those types of games.
I don't recommend this game.

I agree with other reviews that this game is hard in a way that feels a bit unnecessary. It's actually impossible to get 3 stars on many of the levels even with the best strategy in place. BUT if you activate all three of the boosts at 30%, you CAN get 3 stars. I suggest you first play through a level without any boosts in place so you can take your time and think through what you need to do. You will inevitably get 0 or 1 star. Then activate the boosts and do it as quickly as you can, it might take a few tries to get efficient. Personally, I like that kind of challenge.
There is a lot of clicking... when you click on a location then click on the action, that location doesn't stay selected, which is annoying. I wish the developers had made it so the last location you click is still selected, it would save a bit of clicking. While the graphics are good and the music isn't too annoying, there isn't much of a story, which I miss.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game because I like mindless TM games to pass the time. The idea of setting up traps to get the baddies out of the way is novel and the graphics are bubbly/colourful. The storyline was a bit contrived and the ending didn't make sense at all. At least the English grammar was good and the dialogue at the start of each level was clear and relevant. My main problem with the game is that it was too easy. There are only two difficulty levels: not timed and timed. I always like to play TM games first in the average difficulty level and then over again in the hard/expert difficulty level but didn't get to do that for this game. In fact (playing on a Mac), there seemed to be a bug in the game... The timer never went below two stars, just hovered there. I didn't really realize this until the last few levels when I expect that I shouldn't be able to get two stars the first attempt. So if you're playing and you think you must just be really good at this... it's probably just because there's a bug!
I recommend this game!

Boring but clean knock-off of Hercules & other TM games

This game is basically a simplified knockoff of other TM games, especially - ahem - Greek-themed ones. There's nothing new here, in fact, it's less interesting and challenging than other games and doesn't seem to have any original thought put into it besides the premise in its name (oh, it's an "agency", that's so put-in-the-modern-day). The background graphics are boring, forest/plains type settings, unlike many TM games that creatively add visually exciting and interesting backstories into their backdrops (for ex, Vikings Brothers series). Besides this game's complete unoriginality, the graphics, text, and gameplay are crisp and clean, nicely delivered. If you just want to mindlessly pass the time with a blander version of the games you've already plowed through and need something to scratch that TM itch, this one will do.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a TM game with high quality storyline, text (grammar!), and images. I found the middle level of difficulty was too easy and am re-playing the game in the challenge mode. My issue here is that there is no distinction in the map that shows if you've achieved a level in challenge mode so I keep going back and not knowing where I left off.
In terms of achievements, this game is a bit lacking. There is a museum room that you can clear out (clear cobwebs, remove random boards, fix broken things) and it's ok, not very rewarding. if you finish all levels with three stars, you can completely fix up the museum. Once you've done that, there are no other rewards to aim for.
Overall, a good game that's worth getting but if you're an experienced TM player, don't expect much of a challenge.
I recommend this game!

As far as TM games go, I enjoyed this one. The scenes are nicely designed and beautifully rendered. I would have liked to see a little bit of animations when larger enemies were defeated but that was accomplished mostly by text. Glad to see a game in which the text is valued and properly edited for English grammar!
I recommend this game!

I loved this game and its prequel. The only complaint is that the graphics are so tiny, especially on my 13"! I liked all the little side quests and the chance to play with money (buy grain, make flour, bake bread, sell... and repeat!). It had a long play time too, I probably spent too much time on it :p
I recommend this game!

I can't believe how much they're giving me for this game! I've had games where I've bought it then finished it within an hour. This game has tons of levels, I feel like I'm only halfway through and I've had it for months. The only thing is that the perks that you buy through the game have all been bought at this point, I wish they had had more perks or leveled them up somehow. The perks also made it a lot easier for me to finish each level with a good score and sometimes I wouldn't mind trying out a level at its original difficulty to see how I do. Overall great game, especially if you love online card games.
I recommend this game!
