Pretty quickly into his journey, he learns that he's immortal. Not only that, but the friends whom he meets on his journey also happen to be immortal. Outside of an expansive story that's set in the vast Olympus, Hercules will feature a hefty turn-based battle system. You can make Hercules and friends perform standard attacks, magic, skills, and abilities in order to defeat your foes.
The game puts the stylus to use during battle, asking that you input touch commands in order to add power to your attacks. Although it was formally announced only today, Hercules no Eikou is already set for a Japanese release on May A release outside of Japan has yet to be announced.
In order to save, you must find the 4 special pots scattered in the levels. If you don't find them, you can't save. You can advance to the next level but you can't save. I understand that they put this in so you don't just rush to the end of the level and finish the game too quickly. It makes you explore more but it is a tad too difficult. I spent hours combing every inch of the training course looking for the letters and pots and came up short every time. I know that the game houses many secret areas but they are nearly impossible to locate.
This means that until you find the pots in a level and save, you have to go through the same levels again. And since Hercules is aimed at a younger audience, it will surely frustrate your pre-teen. On a more positive note, the controls are easy to learn and execute. You will obtain various gifts from the gods that range from a helmet of invincibility to lightning swords. You can easily use the controls to select and use these gifts. The only time controls became an issue is when you find yourself jumping to grab the bars that you spin on.
Even though it looked like you should be grabbing the bar, you missed. It takes a little patience to find the right spot to grab it. Once you do find the spot, you grab the first bar and have to do the same thing with the next one.
This was not easy. Another thing that should have been left out of the game is the columns and piles of rocks that you have to continually hit with your sword unit they break.
The only time that you were even contested in this was when the Minotaurs were throwing rocks at you so you needed to move out of the way. Most of the time you just sat there and hit and hit until the obstruction finally crumbled away. Since this is a feature of the game, I think they should have added something more to this. All I need to say is one word—Disney. Was I watching the movie or playing the game? Hercules has the smoothest and most life-like motions I have ever seen a character pull off.
It appears that Disney gave a lot of attention to the small details in the same way they do with the movies. The backgrounds were all quite colorful and the game is very easy to follow. The best part about everything was the guy in the trench coat that flashes you and drops coins and power-ups in the process.
Yes, it's a bit anachronistic, but sometimes I think Disney throws in little things like this for the grown-ups in the audience.
This is a great game that the whole family will love. It is almost as fun to watch as it is to play. The graphics are beautiful and the controls are adequate, but I wish it was not so hard to save. It was frustrating going through the same levels over and over. All in all, Hercules is a good time. All I need to say is one word'Disney. Browse games Game Portals.
