- “The visuals are nice, and there's voice-acted story to frame each island [intro/outro].”
- “Nice story, and a really good entertainment in the time management genre.”
- “However, its repetitive gameplay and lackluster storyline might not hold the interest of all players.”
- “The story is fairly simple as well.”
- “The interface lacks all of the refinements Jet Dogs has developed over their games, and the English localization obviously wasn't beta tested given how many times the storyline text gets cut off mid-sentence.”

The gameplay is characterized by its puzzle and resource management mechanics, reminiscent of the "12 Labours of Hercules" series, offering strategic depth through worker management and various difficulty modes. However, players have noted that the gameplay can become repetitive and may lack sufficient engagement due to limited pathways and a lackluster storyline. While achievements and bonus levels add some variety, they may not be enough to sustain long-term interest for all players.
- “Efficiently managing your workers is at the heart of the gameplay, although it's by no means necessary if you want to play more casually (and there are 3 different difficulty modes to fit a variety of players' tastes), but doing so adds strategic depth to what is in essence a very simple game.”
- “Juggling these buildings with how quickly you can gather your own resources from replenishable nodes adds flexibility to the gameplay, and I'm always for more strategic options in these games.”
- “Excellent puzzle/resource management game, 12 Labours of Hercules in another skin, absolutely identical gameplay so if you like those you will like this and this is much cheaper (around £2 full price).”
- “While the visuals are bright and detailed, the gameplay can feel repetitive.”
- “However, its repetitive gameplay and lackluster storyline might not hold the interest of all players.”
- “Where the gameplay comes in, there are limited pathways that restrict what things you can do, until you open those pathways up; and you need to quickly work out what to do next and where to set your priorities.”
