Most of the characteristics from the original Heracles no Eikō were scrapped, and a basic game system used for many RPGs of the time period was employed in their stead. The party system is newly introduced into the series, along with time-flow, where the game passes between daytime and nighttime. The portable spinoff, Heracles no Eikō: Ugokidashita Kamigami, was released in 1992 to fill the gap between the two games. Though the game is set to take place directly after the events of the original Heracles no Eikō, the game's plot creates several inconsistencies in the series timeline. The boy learns that the last-remaining offspring of the Titans has crowned himself the king of darkness, causing chaos across the world, and sets off on a journey to defeat the evil king. Instead, the player takes the role of a young boy living in an age where Heracles is already recognized as a legendary hero. Unlike the first game in the series, Heracles is no longer the player-controlled character. Heracles no Eikō II: Titan no Metsubō ( ヘラクレスの栄光II タイタンの滅亡 ?, "Glory of Heracles II: Titan's Downfall" ) is the second game of the series. The Game Boy version is set in the time frame between the events of the first two games of the series.
Games are listed in order of release date. However, Heracles only serves as the main character in the original game and the Game Boy spinoff, and plays a support role in all subsequent games.
The series is based in the world of Greek mythology, with the Greek hero Heracles as the title character of each game.
None of the games have been officially released outside of Japan until E3 2009, at which the latest game was announced by Nintendo simply as Glory of Heracles. The series began in 1987 with Tōjin Makyō-den Heracles no Eikō, and three sequels were released until 1994 in addition to a portable spinoff game released in 1992.Īfter Data East's bankruptcy in 2003, Nintendo and Paon acquired the rights to the series, and release the latest installment in the series, Heracles no Eikō: Tamashī no Shōmei for the Nintendo DS in 2008. Glory of Heracles ( ヘラクレスの栄光, Herakuresu no Eikō ?) is a Japanese role-playing video game series originally developed and published by Data East. Family Computer, Super Famicom and Nintendo DS
