DESCRIPTION

LucasArts steps aside from the usual Star Wars-related work to create this comical game based on Greek and Roman mythology. In Herc's Adventures you can choose to play the part of either Herc, Jason, or Atlanta. Under direct orders from Zeus himself, you are to rescue Persephone, who has been kidnapped by Hades and now resides in the Underworld.

When Herc's Adventures begins, players must explore the current surroundings and talk to the people they encounter in order to determine their first mission. From an isometric view you will need to search for certain items, battle enemies, and purchase equipment. Throughout the lands, characters can become more powerful by making use of power-ups, health boosters, and new weapons. ~ Jonathan Sutyak, All Game Guide
