Is it still worth playing?
A platform action game developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software for the PlayStation and Windows in 1997, based on the Disney film of the same year. Hercules is stripped of his godhood and must prove himself a true hero, facing many villains and finally Hades. The game is mostly two dimensional, though in many missions you can walk to other planes by paths or stairs. There are ten levels and three difficulty modes, Beginner, Medium and Herculean, with the last two levels only playable on the higher two. Your main weapon is a sword, and temporary Gifts of the Gods include a lightning sword, a fireball sword that seeks enemies, a sonic sword and a cap of invisibility. Hidden letters spelling HERCULES let you skip ahead to the next level, and hidden vases give passwords. A short set of levels with varied weapons still makes it quick to try.
