The game is widely criticized for its instability, with many users reporting it as "very buggy" and "frustratingly buggy." While some players have found workarounds to avoid glitches, the overall consensus is that the game suffers from significant issues that can disrupt gameplay, making it difficult to recommend without reservations.
- “I've always made sure to go back to the main menu if I ever restart a level (10-second process), and that has kept the game glitch and bug free.”
- “Frustratingly buggy.”
- “It's a shame, but I really can't recommend a buggy game.”
- “Buy it on sale if you have the earlier games and want to complete your collection, but otherwise steer clear - the updated artwork makes it harder to see what to do and where to go, and it is incredibly buggy so you'll end up restarting the game to replay levels many times because goals haven't been checked off as complete.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some players finding the new art style difficult to adjust to and less visually appealing compared to previous titles. Many noted that the tiny objects and overall design make it challenging to navigate and complete levels, often leading to frustration due to bugs and unclear objectives. Overall, while some appreciate the aesthetic, it seems to detract from gameplay for a significant number of users.
- “Took a bit to get used to this graphic style, but once I did, I was able to three-star easily enough.”
- “The graphics are nice; the story is okay, but due to 'improved' level design, you may end up stuck after doing half the level because you should have spared some resources (e.g., stone), which is not fun.”
- “Artwork is a little different from the other games, which made it a little harder for me to concentrate on what I needed to achieve.”
- “The objects are so tiny and the graphics look like the game is still on the drawing board.”
- “Buy it on sale if you have the earlier games and want to complete your collection, but otherwise steer clear - the updated artwork makes it harder to see what to do and where to go, and it is incredibly buggy so you'll end up restarting the game to replay levels many times because goals haven't been checked off as complete.”
- “The graphics aren't as good as 12 Labors either, so there's a second fail.”

The gameplay has been criticized for lacking meaningful decision-making and genuine resource management, despite its attempts to emulate similar games. Reviewers find the mechanics frustrating and consider the overall experience inferior to comparable titles, particularly given its price point.
- “There's no real gameplay or meaningful decision making, even though, much like the Hercules games, it's pretending to be a resource management game; it's not.”
- “The ridiculous price of the game ($5 USD) exceeds that of 12 Labors of Hercules, with worse gameplay and worse graphics.”
- “Beyond that, there's some really annoying mechanics in this one.”
