S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
Simple but enjoyment enough to pass the time or play it in the background while playing another games. Would personally wait till heavily discounted or get it with a bundled game set.

12 Labours of Hercules II is less about mythology and more about clicking. You shovel gravel, collect resources and build things. Instead of fighting monsters, you manage little tasks over and over again. It has that old cartoon charm. Bright colors, simple animations. After a while you notice how often you're just clicking. And somehow you keep going anyway. I told myself one more level. Two hours later I was still...
