RandomNPC writes: "Perhaps thanks to its lack of familiarity in the west, Glory of Heracles comes off as a solid RPG that strikes a reasonable balance between the traditions of the genre and its own innovations. Though some of its ideas don't quite work out, and the game's desire to make cultural references does, on occasion, fall flat, Glory of Heracles tries pretty hard, and succeeds more often than it fails."
Glory of Heracles is a turn-based RPG that dives into Greek mythology. You play as a nameless immortal character, even though the nymphs believe that you’re the great Heracles, son of Zeus. Joined by other immortal characters such as the tomboy Leucos, the pretty boy Axios, the arrogant Heracles, and the child mage Eris.
A man wakes up on the shore, his memory gone. Later, he finds out that, not only is he immortal, he may also be the legendary hero, Heracles. To ascertain whether he truly is the Heracles of legend or if the nymphs who gave him this information were playing a devious trick, the supposed Heracles heads to Mount Olympus, home of the gods. This is the premise of the DS game The Glory of Heracles, the first game in its series to see an international release.
