About

Disney's Hercules Action Game is a platform game mainly two-dimensional, although in many missions the player can walk to other planes via pathways or stairs. There are ten levels and three difficulty modes: Beginner, Medium, and Herculean. Hercules can jump, grab ledges, swing on poles, and jump while running. He has a variety of attack moves at his disposal.

What players say

A colorful, movie-faithful platformer with film voice work and lots of animation that feels charming and nostalgic, though it is short and fairly linear by adult standards. A fond childhood memory more than a deep game.
