Heracles no Eikou Game

"Heracles no Eikou" (known as "Glory of Heracles" in the West) is a hidden gem on the Game Boy that blends classic RPG charm with a fresh take on Greek mythology. Imagine stepping into the sandals of Heracles himself—except this isn’t just a retelling of his famous labors. Instead, you’re an amnesiac hero uncovering your divine past while battling mythical beasts, solving puzzles, and navigating a world where gods and mortals collide. With turn-based combat, clever dungeon designs, and a sprinkle of humor, it’s like Dragon Quest meets Clash of the Titans—only with that sweet, nostalgic Game Boy aesthetic.

What makes this game stand out? It’s got personality! The dialogue is witty, the characters are memorable (hello, talking Pegasus!), and the twist on Greek myths feels inventive rather than recycled. Plus, for an early Game Boy RPG, it’s surprisingly deep—with magic systems, side quests, and even a reincarnation mechanic. If you love retro RPGs with a mythological kick, Heracles no Eikou is a pocket-sized adventure worth rediscovering.
