This is an excellent game!

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2015

This is such a great game! I am kind of hard to please when it comes to DS games. What can I say? I like what I like! If they are too complicated, like Radiant Historia (which I will get back to one of these days - honest!) I have a tendency to put them aside. By the same token I want a little challenge. Some of my favorites are From the Abyss, Nostalgia and Golden Sun Dark Dawn. Glory fits right in with these. Good graphics, great story line and you have to watch what you do. It would be easy to miss some things, like where to go to pray to the gods. Actually I am very close to finishing this for the first time and can't wait to start over again so that I can see what I might have missed in the beginning. If you love Nostalgia and Golden Sun Dark Dawn, I think you'll find Glory to be a new favorite.

Fun Game Just Give it a Chance

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2010

Verified Purchase

As one of the other commenters said this was a great deal on amazon a few months ago. I'm super backlog on DS games and I finally got around to playing it the last few weeks. I think I'm about a quarter of the way through.

To be honest the first hour of this game was actually really really boring and the battles were pretty tedious so I ended up using "auto" for all the battles (there is a button that just lets the AI of the game battle for you but you have to press this during each turn of the battle) because that was easy and it worked.

I almost didn't pick it up after playing on it the first time. I don't mind giving up on games at all but when I picked up the DS the next day it was still in there so I was like alright I'll give it another try. It's actually surprised me, the story picked up a little and I ran into a battle were "autoing" it wasn't working at all, which forced me to actually play the battle and learn all the cool things my characters can do and the neat mini games for the magic attacks.

I actually really appreciate having to think about the battle and also using "auto" to supplement my battles. The more you play the more you will run into hard battles were you will either play completely manually or half manually and half auto and then you of course can all auto for super easy battles. Combined with story being picked up after the first few hours this game is hard to put down now. I can't wait to get home after work and play this game.

So I definitely advise you to not give up on this if you only played for an hour or two because it really does pick up and it's a lot of fun when you reach the harder battles in this game.

A gem of a game.

Played the game like four times only to beat it 3 times. Game story is great full of greek mythology which i liked and has a turn base fighting system similar to final fantasy, it can get a little repetitive at times in combat and has a strength and weakness element combat in the game. Overall its a gem for the Nintendo ds library.

Hercules!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

This game is set in ancient Greece. Hercules (one of the gods) has gotten hit on the head and has amnesia. He can't remember any of his powers, skills or history. He doesn't really know that he is a god. He meets a fighter who diagnoses his problem and offers to accompany him to Olympus to get fixed up. That's the basic premise of the game.

The controls are easy to master and constant tutorials introduce each new feature.

Battles are interesting. Your group plays on the bottom screen, enemies on the top screen. Each side has a 2x4 grid, allowing for movement and some strategy. Still, it plays like a standard turn-based rpg. I like the blending of rpg and strat in the battles. It makes me think in new ways.

There are lots of areas to explore. Some NPC's are into their own lives, others give hints of how to play or where to go next, others drive the story further.

I am enjoying this game a great deal and would gladly recommend it. Although the game is somewhat linear, I will play this game many times.

I love fantasy games-I always did!! I have to get a little use to it,but that is okay.Still I am an RPG fan! You are a very organized seller,and I do appreciate the fact that the game came complete with everything.Some games sell without the case or the manual,and I think that is no necessary-you waste money like that.I feel that if I'm spending big money like that,then everything should be complete. And you definitely were RIGHT ON!! Thank you soon much for this wonderfully interesting and fun game!!

Loved playing this game. Played it once when I was younger and have been looking for it again to reminisce in it's glory. Highly recommend playing, even for a short while since there is no post-story things to do.

Definitely Worth the Price!

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

I saw this game for $7.99 on Amazon, and I thought I'd throw it in with some other stuff I was ordering. It's very well worth it!

Pros:
The story is very humorous and well-written.
Great Greek myth feel to it
Combat is fun and challenging

Cons:
Some repetitiveness
Some characters aren't quite as developed as others
Some of the pop culture references (there are a few) may annoy people. This isn't Lunar: Silver Star Story, but it does make a few anachronistic comments here and there.

Overall, it's a cheap game that will keep fans of old-school RPGs happy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

Glory of Heracles is a great, classical JRPG with a nice twist to the magic system. And the ancient Greece setting is really cool, ancient Greece has not been the setting in many RPG's. It's a good game for those who want to try JRPG's, it's not overly complex and it does not span the whole ancient world with countless of hours worth of gameplay. This game has a few quirks, like a really shaky camera. But, all in all, this is a great game with great humour and warmth. I recommed this game wholeheartedly!

If you like JRPGs and Tactics RPGs, you'll probably enjoy this game. Not as great as Final Fantasy Tactics, but pretty good all the same.

Old school RPG with a new school classical Greece.

Reviewed in Canada on February 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this game, if nothing else because it managed to bring such a solid (but others might say boring?) turn based combat to the DS.

First things first, yes the game is set in Antiquity, Greece to be exact, but don't think this is a serious take on it. Creative license has been taken, wed and had babies in this title. Anachronisms and unlikelihood run amok too. Still, it's all to good effect because oddly, the story is interesting. I didn't expect things to be for the better when I found out that not only is the hero mute but he is also amnesic. But it works out to be much more surprising than the beginning would let you imagine.

The game adds a minigame gimmick to the spells and skills, in that you can increase the damage by a 100-170% multiplier for the basic spells and skills and up to 270% for more advanced ones. The games consist of tapping precise combinations, either by tapping numbers in order, or tapping circles when they overlap or dragging roman numerals into the appropriate boxes. There are other types of minigames, but the ones associated with basic spells tend to stand out. The idea is not new, as other RPGs have had timing/skill exercises to give an attack bonus, but it does use the stylus and touch screen capabilities of the DS, so that is kind of different. Other than that, they quickly become repetitive, and because of the availability of skills to your different characters, you will become very well acquainted with a few of them, to the point of annoyment. Sure the game lets you skip those minigames, but you don't get your damage multiplier and that can make a difference for boss battles and overkilling (ie, gaining MP) monsters.

Also, the gameplay is turn based, but the fact that you can only use a certain amount of elemental ether at a time, (and that ether doesn't regenerate too quickly) makes you look for the best use of those spells. Also, overkilling an enemy will replenish your MP, so timing attacks to the best effect or "wasting" a character's turn to overkill an enemy can be valid strategic gambits. Not to spoil anything, (because this will happen within the first two hours of gameplay) but some enemies will be undead and will keep rising from KO until no enemies are left standing or you overkill them. Making good use of the overkill is then the best way to fight your way through the dungeons of this game.

Another twist on the old school system of equipment is that you can add bonus skills, abilities or spells to your weapons. This is very useful to round off some of the weirdly unblanced spell selection for those characters that would have seemed to be fated to be spellcasters or to give bonus abilities to your melee fighters. One of the most useful ability (peak) allows your character's abilities to activate more often and the first time you get the first piece of equipment that gives this to one of your character is within the first hour of the game, on the lowest form of head equipment and you get to choose whether to sacrifice DEF for it. Same goes for equipping a shield or a secondary weapon. Altogether, maybe not a HUGE innovation, as other games have offered systems similar to this, but at the same time, it is very well done in this one.

Graphics don't make or break this game, but the black edges around the edges are very sloppy. The animation works for AoE (or attack on a row of enemies) show every enemy getting successively and that can get battles to become longer pretty quickly. The undead foes that keep getting up and that you either have to KO all at the same time or overkill also becomes time consuming, especially at times when the encounter rate is so high. (Underground Castle in Athens comes to mind). Another irritant is that the character can't run on the world map. That is very obnoxious and makes trudging to place to place like wading in mud. The world map also doesn't provide much interest, and exploring has absolutely no point.

The music is unobtrusive. I am no great judge, but it was good, mostly non-annoying but it isn't anything anyone will buy a soundtrack of.

The game is incredibly linear. Even some early games let the exploring determine when you'd have this item, or affect how you discovered things. Not this one. At times it nearly drags you by the hand, and at others forbids you from going back. From the start the game makes its own mechanics accessible to newcomers to the genre, the number of tutorials and the actual presence of tutorials on how to use items speaks for itself. Maybe the degree of difficulty is also uneven for this reason. At some points the enemies are complete pushovers. At others they pose a serious problem to the party, especially the "dangerous encounters" in dungeons. But the boss fights are the most uneven, some require almost no strategy while others require that you figure out how to even damage the boss and then demand that you engage in a long war of attrition in order to actually win.

Still for all its flaws the game has quite a few good moments and will yield about 35 hours of gameplay.
