Glory of Heracles is a long-running series in Japan, dating back to 1987 on the Famicom. When Nintendo revealed at E3 2009 that North America would be seeing the sixth release in the series, it came as quite a surprise. With the game just days from release, RPGamer was able to take some time to talk with Mr. Kazushige Nojima about his role as Scenario Writer.
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.
