Similar in style to ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', ''The Battle of Olympus'' takes place in ancient Greece which is being terrorized by Hades, the dark ruler of the underworld. The pretext of Orpheus's quest is the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. Elements of the quest are drawn from the stories of Heracles and Perseus. Many characters, enemies, locations, and items are also based on Greek mythology. | |||
The player starts off with a basic wooden club. As the game progresses, players must find various forms of upgraded weaponry in order to defeat all of the mythological creatures Orpheus encounters, such as the Taurus, Centaur, and Cyclops. He will fight his way deep into the underworld, fight and defeat Hades, and finally save Helene. He will acquire several items depicted in the Greek mythology, such as the Harp of Apollo, the Sword of Hephaestus, the Staff of Prometheus and the Sandals of Hermes. | |||
