A myth-inspired role-playing adventure about an immortal hero searching for his identity.
The briefing
Heracles no Eikou III: Kamigami no Chinmoku is a role-playing game and the third entry in the series. Originally released for the Super Famicom on April 24, 1992, it draws loosely from Greek mythology and focuses on a story-driven adventure.
The hero begins with total memory loss but possesses a mysterious power that protects him from bodily harm. A recurring dream provides his only clue to his identity, leading him on a journey to find the place shown in it. His immortality also affects gameplay, allowing him to perform actions such as jumping from high cliffs without injury.
Written by Kazushige Nojima, the story follows the hero's encounters with the Greek gods as he searches for his true identity. The game was developed and published by Data East, with later releases listed for a legacy mobile device, Wii, and Wii U.
