    Hercules once more is the dangerous Labyrinth also dealing for an old acquaintance doppelganger!!

    In a fair Kingdom ruled by heavy hands of the King Pallaeus whom had given his daughter Rena to his second in command the old and greedy Gorgus, prompt denied by the young Princess, to worsen appears a fake Hercules spreading to everyone's ears all about his past adventures on countless places defeating powerful opposers, he starts a dating with Rena who is spellbound by such brave warrior, it raises the wrath of Gorgus whom seek a priest to make a sorcery able to kill the semi-God Hercules hidden in a jar.

    Meanwhile Hercules and the hungry Iolaus arriving in a small Kingdom's village meeting a local leader Josephus is willing an uprising against the evil King Pallaeus that drained all resources coming from their crops leaving an insufficient to them, blaming Hercules to aid King Pallaeus over such wretchedness, thus Hercules and Iollaus trying understand such untruth exposing to a disbelief Josephus that something is wrong due he is head-on the own Hercules, It's didn't convinces the doubter Josephus, then all that remains is Hercules proves by yourself.

    Hercules is absence for a while, aftermaths Iollaus is catch by a King's patrol and imprisoned at underground of the Palace, Josephus makes it's known to Hercules the only way to reach on Iollaus is thru the dangerous Labyrinth where he'll meet his doppelganger at there, also he has to face the Priest's spell on the hands of the bleak Gorgus, not too bad if we forgot all those contrived fights and an ultimate jeopardy on a computer-based creature.

    Thanks for reading.

    • Trivia
      The late Kevin Smith first appears in the Xenaverse as Hercules' maternal half brother Iphicles. Their mother was the mortal Alcmene, while Amphitryon is Iphicles' father, and Zeus is Hercules' father, which is why Hera bears such enmity toward Hercules. Kevin Smith would later portray Ares the god of war who is a paternal half brother of Hercules.
