Introduce
Heracles no Eikou - Ugokidashita Kamigami is a classic role-playing game (RPG) for the Game Boy Color system, immersing players in an epic adventure set in the world of Greek mythology. The game's narrative typically revolves around a mysterious protagonist, often suffering from amnesia, who must explore a vast world, interact with gods, heroes, and monsters to resolve a major threat jeopardizing the balance of the world.
The gameplay of Heracles no Eikou - Ugokidashita Kamigami follows traditional RPG conventions. Players navigate a sprawling overworld map, discovering towns, villages, and perilous dungeons. In towns, you can converse with non-player characters (NPCs) to gather information, receive quests, purchase items and equipment, or rest to restore health.
Battles in the game are turn-based, a hallmark of the RPG genre. Upon encountering enemies on the overworld map or within dungeons, the screen transitions to a combat scene. Players control their character and party members (if any), selecting actions such as physical attacks, using magic, employing items, or defending. Each character possesses unique stats like strength, defense, speed, and health points (HP) along with magic points (MP). Leveling up by defeating monsters improves these stats, unlocks new skills, and enhances the character's power.
The equipment system in the game is quite diverse, ranging from weapons like swords, spears, and bows to various types of armor, shields, and accessories. Finding or purchasing stronger equipment is crucial for tackling increasingly difficult foes. Dungeons often hold many secrets, traps, and sometimes simple puzzles that require players to think to overcome. The primary objective is to uncover the storyline, defeat powerful bosses, and ultimately restore peace to the mythological world.
