Ares, Hercules' brother, forms a plan to dethrone Zeus with the help of Hera. Zeus mysteriously disappears, and a struggle for power corrupts the immortal realm. The Gods, unaware of the true nature of the disturbance, flee to the mortal realm in a search to find the reason for the turmoil.

Hercules, a man whose strength is like nothing ever seen, is the only one who can save the world, both mortal and immortal, and his father from certain doom.

Take control of the legendary hero as you travel around the land in search of Zeus, and to stop Ares from completing his plan. Based on the TV series of the same name, you can also take control of fellow heroes Iolaus and Serena, each with abilities that aid Hercules' task.
