Paon/Nintendo’s Glory of Heracles is set in Ancient Greece with a plot heavily inspired by Greek mythology. Players customize and control the mostly mute protagonist, an immortal, amnesiac boy who only speaks in battle. He embarks on a journey to recover his lost memory and piece together clues as to why he is now immortal. He is accompanied by Leucos, Axios, Heracles, and Eris, characters also mysteriously immortal. Their story intersects with mythological figures, such as Achilles, and mythological/ancient historical events such as the Trojan War. Glory of Heracles is the sixth game in the Heracles series.
